Avant-Garde Fashion - Beauty Through Reduction

Avant-garde fashion designers produce beautiful garments that push the boundaries of conventional taste. In many ways, avant-garde pushes back against the trends in mainstream fashion in an attempt to create work that is more thoughtful and of a higher quality.
With its emphasis on silhouette, drapery, asymmetry and unique textures, avant-garde fashion yields some of the most creative garments we see today.
Designers and brands featured (partial list):
Yohji Yamamoto / Y-3, Comme des Garçons, Rick Owens, Junya Watanabe, Alexander McQueen, Thom Krom
Please support the designers you like!
Treat your clothing like art.

    When I went to Fashion College, on day one we were told, ''Fashion is not for everybody.'' I am more interested in Avant-Garde Fashion now. Only people who understands the creativity of Designer will buy it.

    I see Avant-Garde as a spirit, an attitude, a fearless approach towards design, opinions and life, and I celebrate it. Whether we buy a piece from a designer or not can depend on many things, but the spirit is desperately needed in Fashion world today. I certainly would love to learn more and get inspired.

    I have to say, I disagree with your assessment of color. Where I do agree is that color should be one of he final focuses..texture and shape and construction/deconstruction over color in my opinion. But I don't think that avant garde means an abandonment of color. Comme des garcon, margiela, raf, Walter can bierondonck, dries can noten, harder Ackerman all use color superbly and their clothes are sufficiently and exceedingly avant garde

    Wow, this just entirely made me realise that I have a very bad taste in fashion. I always thought this colour palette were beautiful oh $20, put that in my wadrobe. I never sat down and think throughly about my wadrobe. Usually sale and it looks pretty I place inside my wadrobe. Zara or HnM are defnitely the version of walmart of high end designers which is pretty sad actually... I just never sat down and think about having to thoroughly scan through your clothing pieces... looking at it now, my favourite pieces are the ones that are expensive and in need for alot of saving of money you awake me bro about my fashion pieces.... wow... haha great video essay by the way.

    hmmmmm tbh avant garde looks can be made without having to completely break the bank. There are many designers out these days who make avant garde styled clothes at decents prices. Also when i was younger I found alot of stuff in thrift shops. If you are truly avant garde you don’t need big named designers 😉
