Karl Lagerfeld Tweed Helmet with iPod Pocket



If there are two things designer Karl Lagerfeld loves most in this world, they are luxury and music. The face behind both an eponymous ready-to-wear line and Parisian fashion house Chanel owns upwards of 40 iPods and is constantly shifting from contemporary tunes to classical and back again. So it’s no surprise that the Kaiser incorporated music into Karl Lagerfeld collection FW09. What was shocking were the tweed-covered scooter helmets (equipped with iPod capability) that Lagerfeld created in collaboration with helmet mavens Les Ateliers Ruby and Apple and subsequently sent down the aforementioned catwalk. This Tweed Helmet by Atelier Ruby for Karl Lagerfeld is absolutely Must Have! And I'm not saying I wouldn't rock it (the price tag will surely be out of this world) - but I may need the perfect little motorbike Vespa in leopard print first. The tweed-covered caps are also the perfect accompaniment to All Must Have Items from Kaiser Karl... :) I'm imagine...
