Les Ateliers Ruby x Maison Martin Margiela

(pics from Colette)


I’ve been thinking for a while about getting one of those old Vespa. I can already imagine : myself, a vespa, a leather jacket and the infinite road.

Well, while i cannot fullfill my dream maybe I could start by gearing up with this beatifull helmet, which is trully a classic, from Les Ateliers Ruby.

In the midst of celebrating its 20th Birthday, Maison Martin Margiela became highly enthusiastic about the project to transform the Ruby Helmet. Martin Margiela and his colleagues at 163 Rue St-Maur, took the programme literally and each one places his signature on the helmet to create a collective work. The carbon shell is varnished then covered with broad lines of paint with a “meudon white” effect, the pure but imperfect white’s that are the “Maison’s” universal hallmark.

Available since June 2009, you can find it on selected stores like Colette.
