I was just looking at the Daily Hot Shots for tomorrow and noticed it said to dress your mini in an avant garde dress, what is avant garde?
I admit to nothing next to nothing about fashion. I typically shop at Old Navy (in the men’s section too, no less, lol – they have some really nice men’s t-shirts) and wear jeans and a (men’s) t-shirt every day. So, what does avant garde mean?

It means experimental or innovative. So on this one they want you to think outside of the box. It should be fun judging the minis tomorrow.
Short & to the point (I hope): Look up Wikipedia. It has a detailed explanation which would be too long to copy and paste here.
Avant garde:
any creative group active in the innovation and application of new concepts and techniques in a given field (especially in the arts)
NOVA: LOL:: Fun judging tomorrow? What…more bathrobes, flaming hair, santas, spaghetti cups…LOL. If they’re going to give us off-the-wall topics they should at least expand the choices. Only THEN do I think we will be able to think “outside the box”…but LOL….too funny judging tomorrow’s minis with TODAY’S choices!
I guess what I meant is that it should be more fun than voting where everyone has the chef outfit, scuba outfit or cheerleader/football uniform on. You are right that there needs to be more options – alot more options.
Who wants to bet that there will be….
bathing suits, santas, elves, the ever popular robe, flaming hair,
dancing bodies, and at least a few with hair blowing in the wind
Thanks Nova and Brenda.
I agree that I could have looked up wikipedia, but as I was at work when I posted the question and literally only had 2 minutes to look on the net, I figured I would ask the question here and hope someone – as nova and brenda did – would post a clear and concise answer for me to see when I got home.
If it is any help, you can google the term, then view google pictures to get a look at what some consider avant garde. That’s what I did. Not that I felt there were that many choices in our closets to help us with that assignment. lol But I do think it might be fun to judge this one. We’ll see!
Sheljin, i also googled it & the first site i went into was pictures of mascots, but then i looked at our backround & so i looked into a few others.A few sites with avant-garde garb had alot of vintage items,like some of the older style clothes. Some of them were lacy,colorful dresses, shoes,purses,hats,jewelry & also art. i hope this helps a little bit more,because it helped me decide what to pick out, & i guess i’ll find out in a couple of days if i was even close to our theme today! Good luck Kali with whatever you pick out!
wikipedia!!!?????? for real? with all the options out there for ACCURATE information. My understanding is you can go there right now and change the definition of ‘avant garde’ to ”people who eat bumblebees’.
