Nordstrom is one of those tried-and-true retailers everyone from your grandmother to your brother loves. While the familiarity of the store is nice and all, it can often blind you from the forward-thinking changes the retailer is churning out on a regular basis, particularly when it comes to stocking up-and-coming brands. While I personally love to head to Nordstrom for more classic brands, there are actually quite a few "weirder" fashion brands that I obsess over on the regular. 

Below, I rounded up some of my favorite "weird" fashion brands hiding at Nordstrom. If you've ever heard of Nordstrom's section for emerging designers, Space, you might be familiar with the some of these names, but if not, you're in for a wild ride. Get ready for some of the most fun shopping trip you've had in a while, courtesy of all the Nordstrom brands I love. 

Cecilie Bahnsen

Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, this luxury brand is known for dramatized silhouettes and ethereal textures. This past season, street style stars made quite a name for this brand by flaunting the style all over Copenhagen Fashion Week. 

Eckhaus Latta

Eckhaus Latta is that brand that truly looks effortlessly cool no matter what. Between the babydoll tees and tie-dye separates, this brand should be your go-to for all things forward-thinking and fresh. 

Molly Goddard

If quirky is what you're looking for, Molly Goddard is the name to know. Although known for her oversize tulle confections, the items currently stocked at Nordstrom are much more wearable and include printed tights and statement tops. 

Marine Serre

A brand currently visiting us from the future is Marine Serre. Started by a young Parisian designer, this brand has already blown up among fashion's most well-known names and has become a source of Instagram eye candy for all. 

Toga

The Japanese label Toga is more well-known for its shoe selection, but Nordstrom is drawing attention to the ready-to-wear designs of the brand. One look at the striking pieces below and you'll quickly see why. 

Y/ Project

Paris-based label Y / Project is one that can't be missed. Besides churning out denim with detailing unlike anything you've seen before, the brand also has incredibly striking shoes and a small assortment of statement jewelry. 

Kwaidan Editions

Another Japanese label to know, Kwaidan Editions creates the wearable pieces you need but not without a little extra flare. The tailoring on all the pieces is top-notch, really making all the difference. 

Sophie Buhai

Speaking of wearable, Sophie Buhai designs jewelry that is wearable while still being striking. If crystal drop earrings aren't your thing, fear not, for there are rings, hoops, and pendant necklaces galore to tickle your fancy. 

Tu Es Mon Tresor

Warning: There's nothing "normal" about this clothing brand, and that's exactly how we like it. Whether it's jeans adorned with rainbow bows or wacky graphic tees, the quirks are what you fall in love with when it comes to Tu Es Mon Tresor. 

Editorial Director

Lauren Eggertsen is currently the editorial director of Who What Wear and has worked at the company for over eight years, where she started as an associate editor and has since worked her way up. Lauren has over 10 years of experience in the fashion editorial space, starting her career with internships at Marc Jacobs, Marie Claire, and The Zoe Report, where she was later hired as their editorial assistant. Lauren has worked in the Los Angeles and New York Who What Wear offices but currently calls L.A. home. It is here where she leads and manages Who What Wear's fashion team and oversees all day-to-day editorial content and large tentpole moments. This includes all of the runway, trend, and shopping-driven content that ultimately helps to build a strong brand reputation within the industry. Lauren's role also includes helping to set the fashion direction for all original photo shoots and often styles many of the celebrity cover shoots, including big names like Kaia Gerber, Normani, and Kristen Stewart.

She has also attended multiple fashion weeks, including New York, London, Milan, and Paris, where her personal style has been featured on sites such as Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, and Elle. She prides herself on discovering and supporting small brands and on her knack for a good vintage shopping find. When she isn't working, she enjoys researching and dining at reputable restaurants around both her neighborhood and the globe.
