Excentrique

This  clothes brand is lesser-known in the West, I think. It caters to a more "aristocrat" public than the more "mainstream" lolita brands (which is quite interesting: mainsteam within a non.-mainstream fashion-style?). That´s how I´d describe it, at least. I wonder if everyone would agree.

You occasionally see something by this brand on Closet Child, but not very often....

I have been facinated by this particular coord for what seems like ages:

It´s so elegant and pirate-y. I definitely want that dress--strange, because I´m not usually into OP, much less long-sleeved ones, and yet..... it´s the OP fron the Winter 2010 Collection, called "The Untravelling Theater".
 

Here it is, outside a coord.

I´ve been looking though their webpage (here), and noticed that in general the pieces are quite lovely and well-tailored. Here are some pictures of their latest items, according to the Excentrique news section:

I love tartan; green and blue looks particularly nice. The button-up sides are a nice detail, they add character and at the same time don´t bother the "wired" corseted top section of the JSK....

As you can see, the style in general is much more "mature" in look.....lovely and just plain reflects seriousness and good taste. So ladylike and femenine, though it lacks the bows and lace generally associated with "lolita"...

I love vests, though I rarely wear them. Thid one, though, I totally would--it looks like it wouldn´t just support (and maybe corset some?) but also show off your...erm...assets....in a decent manner, while providing back support (with this on, I would definitely not be able to slouch!!). I could also see this working in a steampunk coordinate, or a pirate one, or something more "Victorian" in nature....Versatile, just what anybody would wish for!

I love the bags! I am in love with them! I have been looking for a bag like this for such a long time!!!

The online shop, unfortunately, is amost exclusively in Japanese, Making it hard to navigate. I wonder, do they ship internationally? I´d certainly love to know! Especially if it meant I can get my hands on that mysterious OP....
