70 Avant-Garde Gift Concepts

From Asymmetrical Avant-Garde Boots to Avant-Garde Sporty Designs

— December 23, 2020 — Eco
This roundup of avant-garde gift concepts will bring a sense of artful creativity for the holiday season. The unconventional designs push boundaries and make the perfect gift for those who appreciate the works. One of the notable selections is a collaboration between Dr. Martens and designer Yohji Yamamoto.

The duo unveil a new Temperley Twisted Boot silhouette that is constructed from leather materials for a sturdy and sleek design language. It is then detailed with a warped look that gives the silhouette a twisted visual throughout the upper for an avant-garde language. Another great idea this holiday season is the Rick Owens and Champions collaboration. The iconic designer is familiar with this design space and these items are the perfect ease into the artful realm with Champion.
