Avant-garde fashion is an innovative and experimental style that pushes the boundaries of conventional design, often challenging traditional notions of clothing and aesthetics.
Avant-garde fashion emerged in the early 20th century, influenced by art movements such as Surrealism and Futurism. Designers like Elsa Schiaparelli and Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons have been instrumental in shaping this style. It gained prominence in the 1960s and continues to evolve, influencing mainstream fashion and pushing creative boundaries.
