# Latticed Helmets Adrien Guerin's 'TopUp' Protects Tetes in Style By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-06-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adrien-guerin-topup References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/TopUp-head-protection-for-_quotDoYouVAlo_quot/250125) & [adrienguerin](http://adrienguerin.com/) When you think of a [bike helmet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumos-nyxel), you probably envision a design that's a bit frumpy, but Adrien Guérin's 'TopUp' defies this notion outright. This latticed patterned helmet is meant to fold up small enough to fit inside a purse or backpack, always at the ready for an impromptu bike ride. My French isn't so hot (okay, it's nonexistent), so I'm not sure how Adrien Guérin's 'TopUp' would perform from a safety standpoint, but at least it looks good.
