Avant-garde
/ˌavɒ̃ˈɡɑːd/
“new and experimental ideas and methods in art, music and literature”
In fashion, avant-garde has unapologetically challenged the norms, blurring the lines through constant deconstruction and reinvention. Forward looking and going against convention, this artistic expression has always inspired me to interrogate the very things I love about fashion and our relationship with it that extends beyond fabric and silhouette.
Like every other child, I would spend hours exploring the depths of my mum’s closet, not trying to find Narnia, but instead trying on her dresses and tripping in heels as I put on my very own fashion show. From what was an enchanting allure quickly turned into a passion and purposeful direction that continues to drive me today.
And so from a child’s curiosity to a deep appreciation over the years, here we are today. Avant Garg is is a space where we can create room for conversation and discussion on all things fashion and what makes it so complex yet fascinating.
Fashion has the ability to empower, influence and drive change. So join me as we travel through a path of style and substance together…
