There’s nothing Karl Lagerfeld can’t do or so it seems. Now he has teamed up with Les Ateliers Ruby for the fourth installment of their limited-edition helmet series.

Following Maison Martin Margiela’s artistic interpretation of the headgear, Lagerfeld has giving the protective headgear an ultra-luxe makeover. First appearing on Lagerfeld’s runway for fall, multiple versions are finally hitting stores, including a feminine version of the helmet in black and white tweed (a subtle nod to Chanel) and a couture-inspired one embroidered in pearls. But the most outrageously luxurious version has to be the one covered in lustrous black mink—part urban barbarian a la Kublai Khan, part futurist fashionista a la Lady Gaga.

Available for €1200 - €4545 at Colette and select retailers in December. With only 12 pieces being made, and so distinctly fashionable,  you won’t be worrying about helmet hair with this one.
