This character is a trend setter, on the bleeding edge, an artist, creator, and auteur par excellence. They can define an entire generation's aesthetic (if only briefly) and alter the course of apparel. They are also chock-full of eccentricity, flamboyance, opinion and energy. The Eccentric Fashion Designers oscillate between Mad Artists/Cloudcuckoolanders and perfectly sane (but still "gifted") people with many quirks.
Here's a few:
They'll dress how they design: eccentrically, and usually boast an Unlimited Wardrobe. In fact, for them it's not Costume Porn, it's Art.
Have speech affectations or an accent if foreign. Typically the Eccentric Fashion Designer is European, Asian, homosexual or all of the above.
An obsessions with perfection and originality. Models will usually be expected to do things that impinge on their dignity and/or worthy of No OSHA Compliance.
Male Eccentric Fashion Designers will probably be Camp Gay, even straight designers may act the part in a weird form of reverse closeting to gain credibility.
An insistence on calling everyone "Darling" or some variation thereof (possibly to the point of Terms of Endangerment when villainous).
Shares a lot of traits with Eccentric Artist and The Fashionista, and both sometimes overlap.

Furry Experience: Diana, sister to Brian, debuts in the chapter "What The Pencils Mean." She appropriates Brian's pencils to craft an outfit made from pencils, ribbons, and tailor's rulers. In a later strip, Diana helps herself to her mother's "good" yarn, and knits an outfit for herself. She then goes to university to show it off, and to take requests for custom outfits from other students.

Ugly Betty: In one episode, a famous stylist hired to pick the outfit for a celebrity baby photoshoot wants to dress the baby in chain mail. He refuses to listen to Betty's objections over the danger to the baby, and eventually ragequits when she won't budge (since with Daniel and Wilhelmina out of the office she has authority).

The Outer Worlds has Celeste Jolicouer, a pompous fashion designer responsible for all of the fancy articles of clothing you can find around the world. Nonetheless, despite living in a planet where classism is rampant she's very quick to help Parvati Holcomb make an outfit. She's also capable of creating a suit that happens to be an excellent piece of combat armor after you get some animal parts for her, though by the end she's killed by the government for the crime of being too much of an independent thinker.

Animal Crossing Gracie visits your town from time to time, and gives you rare pieces of clothing you wouldn't normally find at the Able Sisters' shop. She (or he in the Japanese version) tends to call the player "honey" or "darling" and speaks with a deep voice.

Saints Row: Stefan is a European fashion designer and owner of the Impressions, a high-end clothes store chain in Stilwater. He sports a thick, vaguely French accent, rather campy affectations, always refers to himself in third person, and likes to repeat parts of his sentences. He is also in cahoots with the Vice Kings gang (or rather, he is the personal fashion advisor to one of their lieutenants, Tanya), making him a target for the Saints.

Wild Kratts: Donita Donata is downplayed a bit since it's a show for kids, but otherwise fits well. She speaks with a ridiculous accent, rarely dresses the same way twice, calls everyone "darling," and is fanatical about finding ways to incorporate animals into her fashion designs - the rarer the animal, the better she likes it. Of course, this brings her into regular conflict with the nature-loving, animal-protecting Kratts and their team.

101 Dalmatians (1996): Cruella de Vil is a more sinister example of this trope. She's a fashion designer (at least in the live-action films; her job is unmentioned in the animated film, although it's mentioned that she's married to a furrier in the books) with a strong penchant for furs, with her obsessing on dalmatian spots. And although she acts bubbly, she's actually quite rude and self-centered.

The Incredibles: Edna Mode is a fashion designer for superheroes, and her demeanor is very quirky. Despite this, she's very competent and Genre Savvy when it comes to designing supersuits — most notably, she doesn't use capes because a number of heroes have been killed by Cape Snags.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Rarity has more than a few shades of this: her forte is adding gem-based bling to her designs, and she speaks with an affected mid-Atlantic accent, calls everyone "darling", and has a very flamboyant, driven and perfectionist personality with a tendency to dive into obsessive phases when particularly gripped by her work. Granted, she actually turns out to have a more down to earth design sense than her friends when they make suggestions.

The Hunger Games: Subverted by Cinna, who surprises Katniss by being extremely softly spoken and tasteful (even if he does set Katniss on fire). However, this is played straight by all the other designers and styling teams, who are extremely manic with off-the-wall ideas about how to dress the tributes.
