Rarely nowadays do we see fashion meeting function – think Lady Gaga’s recent meat dress designed by Franc Fernandez and worn to the recent VMAs (aka Video Music Awards). Need we say more? Talk about hamming it up.
Cue the RF-Scarf; originally designed for the protection of not-always-fashion-conscious cyclists.
Not just a statement piece, this funky yet practical scarf doubles as safety protection from more than just the fashion police.
It's made from sleek, black reflective material that exudes luxury and style by day; by night, it channels some serious Donna Summer disco shimmer for night-riders and pedestrians alike, allowing motorists to clearly see an oncoming cyclist or pedestrian when hit by bright headlights or street lamps.
And as for the eco-factor, rest assured the RF-Scarf also ticks this box too – parts of the scarf are made from leftover off-cuts from a clothing production house.
Let’s just hope matching lycra bikepants aren’t next up on the short-list. Lady Gaga – you’re on notice.
