ArtFashion is unique to the Avantgardeners Collective's practice, approaching fashion as moving sculpture. These handmade garments transform the wearer, evoking otherworldly creatures and mythical beings. ArtFashion is purposefully anti-commercial; each piece uniquely and sustainably made, integrating found and recycled materials. ArtFashion also realises a world of fluid fashion that embraces the creature within the human, driven by a future where gender exists beyond the binary.
Eco-pop
The Avantgardeners Collective takes a cutting-edge approach to music, and has coined the term 'eco-pop' to describe their musical style; mixing electronic earthy beats with clear vocals and experimental synths, to create an eclectic genre-defying sound. The following are music videos for two tracks from the album FUGA FUTURA.

Sadler’s Wells
The Avantgardeners Collective premiered a previous performance, FUTURA GLITCH, at two sold-out shows in 2021, supported by Sadler's Wells and their WILD CARD programme. These performances and the subsequent tour of FUTURA GLITCH allowed the Avantgardeners Collective to develop and refine a series of workshops and unique touring format through continued collaboration & evaluation.
The following are copy from the performance listing and a recommendation letter from Sadler's Wells.
