The Peacocks of Pitti Uomo, January, 2013

Pitti Uomo wrapped up yesterday and attendees, and many of the regulars, were wearing interesting colors and textures, finely tailored suits (double breasted waistcoats seem to be showing up more frequently...see first and last photos), and some pretty fabulous shoes. I am loving those delicious brown suede double monk strap shoes, ninth photo down. I would love to get a pair like that for my upcoming trip to France. Below images all by Tommy Ton.

Below images all by Nam of STREETFSN. I love the subtle cool colored camouflage printed lace up!

Portrait of DNA

Impressive science news: for the first time, DNA has been truly photographed. Italian scientist Enzo Di Fabrizio, physics professor at the Magna Graecia University in Catanzaro AND Head of the Nanostructures Department of the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa (sheesh, what an overachiever...), and his team used a high-powered electron microscope to catch actual images of strands of DNA, the building blocks that support all life, suspended like a tightrope between two very small silicon structures. Truly breathtaking.

His published findings can be read on-line here!
