Make a Fashion Statement

Avant garde clothing for women often differs from mainstream looks in its artistic, edgy, and sometimes extreme or risqué traits. Some boutiques and shops specialize in avant garde styles and cater to those who don't want to blend in with everyone else. Avant garde haute couture styles are also seen on the runway and worn by celebrities; many of these styles can be toned down for the stylish, savvy woman who wants to a make her own fashion statement.

Pairing contrasting types of clothing, such as a high waisted business skirt and lingerie inspired blouse, can create an avant garde look.
