These two new Desigual shirts arrived in our spring shipment — one has the face of Albert Einstein, the other has the iconic image of Marilyn Monroe. The Einstein image, showing the famous physicist sticking his tongue out, was shot on his 72nd birthday on March 14, 1951, by photographer Arthur Sasse, who was trying to persuade Einsten to smile for the camera — playfully, he stuck out his tongue instead. It became one of the most popular photos ever taken of Einstein. In 2009, the original signed photograph was sold at auction for $74,324, a record for an Einstein photo.
