Many designers have utilised the iconic cycling cap within their fashion shows. First it was Hermes and then Betsy Johnson, who created a whole show around the theme of the Tour de France. Of course it was re-named, ‘Le Tour de Betsey’ which saw models take the stage in yellow cycling caps with bike chains and padlocks draped over their shoulders.

British designer Henry Holland also dipped into the world of cycling, with his ‘Ride It’ show back in 2011. Featuring red leather cycling caps and tee’s with a rather prominent ‘Ride It’ slogan on them, just to make things extra bikey. He also made that rather perculiar jacket for Skyride which had his iconic bold style and affordable high street price tag on it.

Giles Deacon was the next British designer to work with Skyride, producing limited edition handlebar bags. These were pink and blue bags with a snakeskin print on them. Edgy hey?

Cyclists saw a lovely new addition to their wardbrobes when designer Kate Spade bought out two bike friendly bags. Although the price (£280.00) was a little too far fetched, it was great to see a functional and stylish cycling bag made in the high end fashion industry.
