Your Signature. Our Stage.

Do you design extraordinary fashion that doesn’t adhere to rules or conventions? Then we want to get to know your label.

AVANTGARDISTA brings together independent designers and international labels with a strong signature. Whether avant-garde, latex, leather, couture, fetish fashion, or experimental design – we are looking for collections that surprise, move, and open up new perspectives.

We connect fashion with art, performance, music, hair & make-up, photography, and film. Together, we create a staging where your designs and the story behind them become visible.

More Visibility for Your Work

Behind every look is an idea, craftsmanship, and a unique creative stance. AVANTGARDISTA creates space to showcase this work. Depending on the scope of participation, AVANTGARDISTA offers you:

  • A professional stage for your collection
  • Presence on website and social media channels
  • Personal encounters with visitors, designers, and creatives
  • Showroom presentation for showcasing and selling
  • A creative environment for new contacts and ideas

Your Skill. Your Perspective.

A look is created by many creative hands. AVANTGARDISTA connects fashion with hair, make-up, photography, film, art, and performance. Do you want to help shape it?

Whether expressive hair and make-up looks, a photographic story, a film, an installation, or a performance – we look forward to meeting people with their own signature.

Show us your portfolio or tell us what you want to achieve. If your approach fits one of our formats, we will discuss the possibilities together.

Die AVANTGARDISTA ist seit 2017 mehr als nur eine Modenschau: Sie ist ein kreativer Freiraum für ungewöhnliche Mode, Vielfalt und gelebte Andersartigkeit. Hier verschmelzen Couture, Kunst und Subkultur zu einem Erlebnis, das inspiriert und Grenzen sprengt. Gründer Christian Eberle hat damit eine Bühne geschaffen, auf der Designer:innen, Künstler:innen und Visionär:innen ihre Ideen ohne Kompromisse zeigen können.
