Tiny, invisible to the naked eye, just like every covert movement. We don’t see them, but we imagine them, underground to our look. But instead of particles, we take accessories. And instead of a microscope, we take a kaleidoscope. And instead of tiny atoms, we imagine chains of molecules as if it were Fashion DNA. And the truth is we’re not as educated in sciences as we would like to be, but we know we have chemistry with this selection of shoes and purses.
