Gucci & The Equestrian Fashionista

"....please allow me to post my personal disclaimer before delving any further into the world of equestrian fashion!  In other words, I want ya'll to know that even though I was browsing riding gear on eBay, I wasn't, am not now and never will be interested in this helmet! 

But hey, who knows, since it "is" a Gucci and many of us do follow the trends, then there MUST be someone who will buy it!  So, if this helmet "speaks to you", for a mere $3,499.00, you will be able to show your fellow barn buddies that in addition to your riding prowess, you also posses a keen fashion sense!

This is a perfect example of what happens when some "fashionista" decides to take on a tradition about which he, she or it knows nothing, and when that tradition should be left alone.

Just sayin'.

Hey there TBDancer, you hit that right on, a "he she or it" attempting to design a critical piece of safety equipment that ends up, like Karen said, lookin' absolutely hideous!
