VBH will also be releasing iPad cases, following the trend of many high end brands, in the near feature.

Chieftain Hövding Helmet: Wearable Airbag

Posted on October 22, 2010

In some cases, fashion and cycling do not mix well. For example, helmets can leave your hair looking a mess. That and they’re not the most trendiest head accessory out there. This is where designers Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin came together to design the Hövding “Chieftain” helmet.

The Chieftain Hövding Helmet is essentially a collar with a folded airbag. In the case of an accident, the Chieftain helmet uses a gas generator to fill the airbag. This happens when your head enters an abnormal movement. The airbag can also be removed and stored inside the collar.

For the past six years, the designer studied the different types of bicycle accidents by connecting sensors to dummies in order to ensure the airbag does not accidentally fill up out of the blue.

Six LED lights are hidden within the collar to monitor the sensor. When the battery is low, you can connect the helmet to a USB port for charging. Once connected the software within the helmet will automatically update.

What are your thoughts—is the Chieftain Hövding Helmet a fashionable alternative to your standard bicycle helmet?

Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue arrived 45 minutes late for the showing of the Emilio Pucci 2011 Spring Collection in Milan. Actress Jada Pinkett Smith was also one of the many celebs to attend the Pucci segment, making it one of the most star populated showings.

Peter Dundas’ contribution included a ’70s era meets Mediterranean style collection. More than likely this can be explained through Dundas’ recent building project: a new house on a Greek island. The first couple of dresses appear to be inspired by traditional Greek shirts.

Also a part of the Spring 2011 Emilio Pucci collection was unisex apparel, which used guipure lace and broderie anglaise embroidering. For spice, small mirrors and pompoms were added.
