Avantgarde?

If Haute Couture can claim that every garment is a piece of art, then should any young independent creative designer be able to do the same? Yes, there are parallels between a highly expensive piece of art, one of a kind an often kept in a safe and the one of a kind garments owned by the richest fashionistas in the world. But art is constantly changing so shouldn't the younger generation have something more interesting to provide?
www.modabot.de might have the answer. The site presents them self as "Nachrichtagentur für Avantgarde mode" (News Agency for Avantgarde Fashion). People more brushed up on their german than I am, might well enjoy the articles. Personally I'm hoping that their event Internet Fashion Week is not just a great idea, but actually becomes reality. It's planned for "the beginning of the year 2008", so keep an eye out!
A further tip on the search for Avantgarde is Bea Szenfeldts collections. The piece/garment is from 2006, but hasn't lost its charm!

Agree? Disagree? Or just any other avantgarde tips you like to share?
