fashion forward

Ahead in style

Fashion forward describes clothing, style, or people that embrace cutting-edge trends before they become mainstream.

Someone who is fashion forward anticipates where style is heading rather than following established looks: Her fashion-forward choices always turn heads.

The term implies boldness and willingness to experiment with new aesthetics.
