Imagine all the moments when you were asked: "What are you wearing?" Most often than not, you were asked about something unusual, extraordinary. Let's face it – uniqueness attracts the eye, it challenges our taste and imagination. If you choose to wear a piece that clashes with what we consider a classic, it will carry a piece of you in it, your style, your dareness, it will speak volumes about your personality. Why? Because You chose to wear it. Most often than not, it would be a conversation piece, so if you aren’t eager to open yourself to a complete stranger and make acquaintances, stick to a classic string of pearls or stay home.

That "step further" in a design world is called avant garde. Avant-garde in the artistic sense of word means experimental, innovative, pushing boundaries. Because avant garde can be over the top, you don’t really need to embellish yourself head to toe in it. You can take just one piece and it will give any classic outfit a fresh spin.
