avant-garbage

cutting edge trash or worthless taste, aesthetics, etc… similar to avant- gauche but with less artifice
This designer tried too hard to be different last season, and so has dialed it back from avant-gauche, but has missed the mark falling into avant-garbage.

garbage

Special/required clothing (“garb”), such as work-uniforms or costumes, that the wearer resents/finds offensive because:

(1) the clothes are uncomfortable, cumbersome, too light/heavy for ambient temperatures, etc.
(2) the garments are inelegant or overly plain, and so he feels that wearing the clothes is demeaning
(3) he dislikes the colors, styles, etc. as being too bold, loud, and/or needlessly-formal for the job/occasion
(4) the clothes’ material is too delicate and/or hard to keep clean/neat/undamaged, and so he finds them an arduous chore to care for and keep out of harm’s way while wearing them.
Every time I go to work, I have to wear that revolting starched-denim garbage they dish out --- ironed and pressed --- from the laundry-room. Eeeyyyewww...
