Nobody knows the bubble I’ve seen.
And since we’re on the subject of helmets, check out the above. It’s a bubble helmet designed by Emilio Pucci in the mid-60s. Its purpose was to protect stewardesses’ hair from jet wash and rain back in the days when they had to cross the tarmac to board planes. This is a fairly common image on the web, but when we saw it we realized we’d stumbled across another shot of the bubble helmet and unknowingly posted it in our feature on Hayat magazine back in July. So for all you bubble helmet fans, you can find a rare vintage photo of one here.
