Retail Therapy: Let's get psychedelic

Children Of Vision scarf. Photo / Babiche Martens

Auckland boutique Children of Vision is selling a very limited selection of scarves from Australian design collective Trust Fun - so exclusive that there are only three scarves in the country, and only three other stores in the world sell them. The colourful, somewhat trippy scarves feature a fractal, created by entering numbers and equations into a computer - and no two scarves are the same.

$540 from Children of Vision, ph (09) 379 8930.

Shop girl
If you haven't noticed by now, it's winter sale time! Yay. Kingan Jones is now on sale, with up to 50 per cent off certain winter styles, and Kate Sylvester and Carlson have both marked prices down. Workshop stores went on sale last week, with discounts on Workshop, Helen Cherry, See by Chloe, Miu Miu, Marc by Marc Jacobs and more. Witchery's Ponsonby store has up to 60 per cent off specific items.

Dress of the year
If you've ever thought that the size of your wardrobe is ridiculous, perhaps it's time to take inspiration from Sheena Matheiken. The Guardian has reported that the New Yorker has promised to wear a version of the same dress every day for a year, as part of a bid to raise funds for the Akanksha Foundation. Matheiken has seven carbon copies of a black dress, which she updates and accessorises - then photographs and puts it up on her website. As well as raising funds to help Indian children get an education, the project examines ideas of materialism and over-consumption.
