DNA Printing


Found this article on financial times online (and yes this is the first time I have ever ventured to this site... ) called 'Cut from a Different Cloth'
Detailed is what the above image depicts:

Another unique service is available from Cad and the Dandy, a bespoke tailor in London set up by two former bankers. The firm works with DNA Art, a British company which produces a visual representation of client’s DNA from a swab sample of skin cells. A digital photograph of the genetic pattern is made, the client chooses a colour scheme, and Cad and the Dandy print the image on the lining fabric of the customer’s suit jacket. This takes only a month above the eight weeks it takes to have a suit made, but adds £300 to the cost, which otherwise starts at £450. Still, it gives new meaning to the idea of personal style – which, some might say, is priceless.

-whole article, all pretty interesting about new bespoke tailoring for men's design found at http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/38d869c0-c2a2-11e0-8cc7-00144feabdc0.html#ixzz1WoXFxZs7

I really like this sort of extreme personalisation. Entirely unique design would give more personal value to the object. Find the crossover into science interesting too.
