Wrapped up in feelings

Emotions! That’s what Permanent Vacation designer Claire Louise Smith hopes we’ll feel when viewing her latest collection – a range that was born after studying the detrimental effects of fast fashion. Rather than dwell on the doom and gloom, Melbourne lass Claire chose to work with cottons from low-impact mills, giving deadstock materials a second life. And now we have this playful puff-paint t-shirt, which can be nabbed for $160 from permanentvacation.com.au. Hoorah!
