The term is commonly used in French, English, and German to refer to people or works that are experimental or innovative, particularly with respect to art, culture, and politics.
Avant-garde represents a pushing of the boundaries of what is accepted as the norm or the status quo, primarily in the cultural realm. The notion of the existence of the avant-garde is considered by some to be a hallmark of modernism, as distinct from postmodernism.
Postmodernism posits that the age of the constant pushing of boundaries is no longer with us and that avant-garde has little to no applicability in the age of Postmodern art.
This is Chris and Christian's interpretation of avant-garde. The Project Runway judges agreed.
This is Kit and Ricky's intepretation of avant-garde. Michael Kors said that Scarlett O'Hara did a better job with the drapes. Kit was auf'd!
