The “avant-garde” originally referred to soldiers who scouted the lay of the land ahead of the rest of a large military force. The term was later applied to artists and thinkers who were considered ahead of the pack.
And that factoid was just a fancy way for me to point out that Browns has a cardigan by avant-garde designer Gareth Pugh on sale.

Yoox also has some Pugh pants for $130, down from $218.
that cardigan is fantastic!
Pugh is my mother’s maiden name and I secretly imagine I am related to Mr. Gareth.
