Avant-Garde Fashion Blog Posts

In this section you will find trendy blog posts regarding avant-garde fashion. The avant-garde — from French, "advance guard" or "vanguard" — are people or works that are experimental or innovative, particularly with respect to art, culture, politics and most importantly clothing and style. This page is the blog post index for the topic on Apparel Search: it collects the four avant-garde posts from the fashion blog, links the full avant-garde fashion term page, and gathers the site's couture and runway resources in the topic block below for readers who want the deeper background.

About Avant-Garde Fashion

In regard to fashion, makeup, hairstyles, and jewelry, the avant-garde style is defined through its personality. Avant-garde clothes mean unusual ones, which catch the eye and do not let you fade in the crowd: exaggerated silhouettes, unexpected materials, construction shown off instead of hidden, and styling that treats the body as a canvas. The four posts collected here approach that territory from four directions — a design awards post (the 8th International Design Awards), which is where experimental work gets judged; a fashion event report, Premium Dissonance Area 2013; and two posts on the NINES, Jennifer Lopez wearing Nines in the Booty video and the NINES 2014 holiday collection, where avant-garde styling meets commercial celebrity fashion. The spread is honest: most avant-garde influence reaches shoppers filtered through exactly those channels — awards, events, and famous wearers.

What is avant-garde fashion, in full? The term page linked above answers at length, and the topic block below adds the neighboring territory this style overlaps: haute couture, where experimental construction is an official craft, Couture Fashion Week and runway fashion news, and a designer guide for Alexander McQueen, the modern name most associated with avant-garde runway shows. In addition to the posts listed here, you can search for more avant garde fashion blog posts by using the blog search link above. Readers new to the subject usually do best in this order: a post or two from the list above, the term page for the definition, then the couture pages for the craft behind the spectacle.
