The word from French is gauche (left-handed, or awkward). It doesn't mean fashionable or unfashionable, but lacking ease or grace, being unsophisticated and socially awkward.

The word can be applied to mean inelegant or lacking good taste, as one might be if gaudily dressed at a more proper occasion. That may have been the context.
