FASHION
In fashion, the avant-garde style is defined through its personality. Many
designers have been asked to define this style and they all added a certain term
to define it: sophisticated, mysterious, intimidating, intriguing, striking. The
accessories have to be very modern, unusual, but elegant. All clothes should
be matched with hats, belts or shoes in the most unusual shapes. Somehow,
this style does not refer only to fashion. It means a mixture between fashion
and art. The avant-garde fashion teaches women to have a certain attitude.
