Armani died at home, “peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones,” the fashion house said. “Indefatigable to the end, he worked until his final days, dedicating himself to the company, the collections and the many ongoing and future projects,” the fashion house said in a statement.

David Swenson, who worked in a data center in New York City, was taking weekly time-lapse photos of a new building under construction across the street. He used the Twin Towers to frame his shots, providing a consistent reference point.

“Tuesday morning at 8:45am I was in our data center taking pictures of our new building going up across the street,” said Swenson. “I had been taking a few pictures each week, using the Twin Towers to frame/align all the shots evenly so I could later make a time lapse video of the new 30 story building’s construction.”

“After taking the shot I see a large plane flying south right over the Hudson River. For a moment I thought what a great shot I’m about to get, then American Airlines Flight 11 suddenly rolls into a left bank of about 40 degrees. The impact came about a second later, and I can’t believe what I’m seeing. After shooting a few more pics I run to the hall where I meet up with a few of the building engineers and we head up to the roof for a better view. The scene is surreal, and after watching United Flight 175 circle around and fly into the South Tower everyone began to realize we were under attack. We kept looking around for the next plane and my knees began to go weak. I will never EVER forget that image of American Airlines 11 rolling left and striking the North Tower. To this day, I’m still somewhat startled when looking up at a plane overhead.”

Powered by a range of V8 engine options paired with manual or automatic transmissions, the 1958 Corvette combined sleek design with impressive performance. Its convertible top added to its appeal as a stylish open-air cruiser, perfect for the booming car culture of late 1950s America.

Today, the 1958 Corvette Convertible is highly prized among collectors as one of the most iconic early Corvettes. These stunning photos highlight the chrome details, sweeping curves, and raw American power that made the 1958 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible a timeless classic.

Early versions were simple lorgnettes without handles, designed to rest lightly on the nose. At first, they were often associated with scholars, clergy, and the upper classes, as spectacles in general still carried social stigma.

By the mid-1800s, pince-nez had become widespread across Europe and America. They were prized for their compactness—easy to slip into a pocket or hang from a ribbon or chain. They became especially common among professionals, academics, and politicians. Mark Twain, Anton Chekhov, and Theodore Roosevelt all wore pince-nez, helping solidify their intellectual and dignified image.

Around 1900–1920, pince-nez began to decline in favor of modern spectacles with sidearms (temples), which were more stable and comfortable for active use. By the 1930s, they were considered old-fashioned and often caricatured in popular culture as a symbol of fussy intellectuals or stern authority figures.

Today, pince-nez are rare but remembered as an iconic style of eyewear associated with the Victorian and Edwardian eras. They still appear in historical dramas and period films, and vintage pairs are collectible. Some opticians even make modern reproductions for enthusiasts.

In the early 20th century, commercial airplanes used wicker chairs for passenger seating because the lightweight, durable, and ventilated material was ideal for early aircraft design. These simple wicker seats, often with leather linings for easier cleaning, were common until the late 1930s, when more comfortable, padded, and lighter aluminum seats began to replace them.

Portraits from this time capture not only their personal style but also the values of discipline, respectability, and tradition that shaped 19th-century society. Take a look at these studio portraits to see how men presented themselves in the mid-19th century.

Johns falsified Winstead’s age in order to obtain their marriage license. At the time of their marriage, the state of Tennessee had no minimum age for marriage. Winstead’s mother had married at the age of sixteen, and her sister Ina married at thirteen. Though the mothers of Johns and Winstead initially believed that Eunice was too young to marry, they ultimately decided to approve of the marriage.

McClintock’s photos captured portraits, ceremonies, and everyday life, preserving invaluable visual records of Native American heritage during a period of rapid cultural change. In addition to his photography, he published books and articles that combined ethnographic study with a deep respect for the people he lived with.

Today, his work is regarded as an important historical archive, offering both artistic and anthropological insight into early 20th-century Native American life. Below is a collection of powerful photos taken by Walter McClintock, documenting the traditions of the Blackfeet people.
