Unconventional clothing store recommendations

I’m a collector of unconventional clothing items, and would like some recommendations for stores that sell anything unusual (near the city commercial center if possible).
Think as faaaaaar away from mainstream aesthetics as possible, and I don’t just mean alternative/punk styles.
I’m looking for clothes that would make sense as theatre costumes, or wouldn’t feel out of place in a costume party.
My usual favorites are royal inspired, vampire gothic and old school magician but I don’t would love recs for anything that most everyday people would be terrified of wearing in public 🙃
Thank you to any kind Londoners willing to put up with such a strange question~

What is your all-time perfume hall of fame?

I want to expand my collection further, I find that niche perfume heads tend to give better recs than store employees, so tell me yer favs!

Please pardon me if this is an unrealistic question that I should be crucified for asking, as much as I admire the art of garment-making, I am not yet too knowledgeable in the field myself.
I’m currently in the process of crafting an outfit with a peacock motif, and am trying to gauge the feasibility of getting something this intricate through custom tailoring.
The attached mock-up is the only piece of inspiration I could find with the silhouette I desired, so here is my big conundrum:
How realistic is it to find a tailor willing to custom make such a peacock patterned front up back down skirt..? And while I’m allocating a fairly large budget for this project; how expensive should I expect it to be?
