FASHION CRUSH

Avant Garde’s line of modern, hypoallergenic jewellery

Drawing upon over a decade’s worth of experience in the fashion industry, husband and wife duo Ami and Marie-Eve Partouche blend Parisian chic and LA glam with their original and fashion-forward designs. Founded in 2005, their line, called Avant Garde, each season explores the concept of wearable art. Modern and traditional techniques are utilised to create unique pieces, which are only available in limited quantities. Keeping the skin-sensitive in mind, all of the jewellery is hypoallergenic and does not contain nickel. Instead each piece is first designed with a pewter base, plated with silver or brass, and then sometimes adorned with Swarovski crystals, stones, and glass. The line is sold worldwide, with retailers in Canada, the US, England, and Singapore.
