Pretty Eccentric: Vintage Glamour Reimagined

Founded in 2009 by designer Michelle Scott, Pretty Eccentric was born from a love affair with vintage fashion — the sparkle, the silhouette, the unmistakable drama — all brought sashaying, beaded, and beautiful into the now.

Her mission has always been clear: to reignite the lost art of dressing up with clothing and accessories exquisitely designed to outlive fleeting trends. Michelle’s fashion roots run deep, with her early years at Whistles, working alongside Louise Trotter (now Creative Director at Bottega Veneta), where she honed an eye for detail and a flair for timeless design.

The collections she creates are unapologetically feminine yet effortlessly cool, blending retro prints, intricate beading, luxurious velvets, and a whisper of sparkle. Each piece is an invitation to transformation — part vintage dream, part modern statement.

It’s no surprise that Pretty Eccentric has become the label of choice for red carpet moments and landmark occasions. From Royal Garden Parties to the BAFTAs, the Mercury Prize to the Academy Awards, the BRITs to the Tonys, Michelle’s designs have dressed women for some of the world’s most glamorous events. Her work extends to television and theatre too, including all seasons of Sex Education with Gillian Anderson, You, Broadway’s The Great Gatsby, and the West End’s Annie.

But the true essence of Pretty Eccentric lies in its clients: fabulous women from all walks of life who come in search of something extraordinary. Whether it’s a gown for an awards ceremony, a black-tie look, a prom dress, or the perfect ensemble for brides, bridesmaids, and wedding guests, the collections deliver individuality with impact.

Step into the Brighton HQ and boutique, where the team will dress you from head to toe in vintage-inspired occasion wear — from 1920s flapper dresses dripping in glamour to 1940s gowns and tea dresses with a timeless allure.

Pretty Eccentric is a celebration of the individual, the dramatic, and above all, the beautiful. It’s more than fashion. It’s a way to discover — and delight in — your most fabulous self.
