Why do some people love avant garde fashion?
wel

Answer:

Explanation:

The people who do avante-garde usually make experimental, radical, or unorthodox pieces with respect to art, culture, or society. It is frequently characterized by aesthetic innovation and initial unacceptability by society. The idea is to push boundaries of society and cultures, of what is usually considered ugly to become beautiful.

People like to push boundaries and explore new ideas that have yet to be explored. They are opposed to the enforced standards of mainstream art that influences everyone. This form of art can be used to push people to think in their own way, and not standardized ways set before us.

We like it, because it is something new, fresh, and original, something we strive to be without worrying about the thoughts of everyone else. The sense is essentially about freedom in the end, and normalizing the beauty in the ugly that many have oppressed for so long, or emphasizing the ugly that needs to be changed.

It is experimental and different, and simply, humans like different things. A push to the future of what our world could be, expressed.

(This applies to fashion, and the general art form itself)
