The term ‘avant-garde’ refers to a style or approach that is innovative, experimental and often unconventional. When it comes to avant-garde hair looks, they are characterised by their artistic, boundary-pushing designs that challenge traditional hairstyling norms. Avantgarde hairstyles serve as a form of self-expression and create a visually striking impact by use of unconventional shapes, textures and volume, experimental colours, unusual materials and conceptual themes.

Here’s an exclusive walkthrough of the avant garde collection curated by the students of SVJ Academy, Mumbai, under the expert guidance of their mentor - Seema V Jerajani.
