# Luxury Scooter Gear Karl Lagerfeld and Les Ateliers Ruby's Limited Edition Helmets By Marissa Liu | Published 2009-11-26 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-helmets References: [nymag](http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2009/11/karl_lagerfelds_it_helmets_are.html) & [www2.hintmag](http://www2.hintmag.com/post/115248-hooked-karl-lagerfeld-for-ruby) Leave it to Karl Lagerfeld to make sure that the [scooter-riding fashionistas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italjet-roadster-400) have something chic to wear while riding around town. These limited edition helmets are a collaboration between Lagerfeld and Les Ateliers Ruby. These luxury, limited edition helmets made their first appearance on the very futuristic Karl Lagerfeld Fall/Winter 2009 runway. Versions of the helmet that will be available for purchase include a subtle tweed-covered model, the lavish [pearl-encrusted piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeweled-design) or the fuzzy black mink version (which, we are sure that if Anna Wintour ever needed a helmet, this would be the one she would wear). Only 12 limited edition helmets are available at Colette for $1800-$6800. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Scooter Gear:** The trend of luxury scooter gear, such as limited edition helmets, is emerging in the fashion industry. - **Collaborations in Fashion:** Collaborations between fashion designers and niche product makers, like Karl Lagerfeld and Les Ateliers Ruby, are becoming more popular in the industry. - **Fashionable Safety Accessories:** The demand for fashionable safety accessories, like helmets, is growing as consumers seek stylish options for their everyday activities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore opportunities to create high-end, limited edition gear for niche markets like scooter riders. - **Luxury Goods:** Luxury goods industry can tap into the demand for luxury accessories, like helmets, by collaborating with influential fashion designers. - **Safety Gear:** The safety gear industry can capitalize on the rising popularity of fashionable safety accessories by creating innovative and stylish products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Full-Face Moto Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supertech-r10-launch-edition-helmet.md) - [Futuristic Headgear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonveil-collection.md) - [Haute Fashion House Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herms-ateliers-horizons.md) - [Customized 3D-Printed Bike Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kav-bike-helmets.md) - [Camera-Equipped Motorcyclist Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forcite-mk1s-smart-helmet.md) - [Chinese Heritage-inspired Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paiggio.md) - [Augmented Reality Motorcyclist Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoei-eyelights-gtair-3-smart.md) - [E-Bike-Centric Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pedelec-2-ace.md) - [Connected Motorcycle Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoei-opticson-smart-motorcycle-helmet.md)
