‘HELIUM-10000’ is an inflatable jacket conceptualized by Andrew Kostman. You can imagine this piece is the first in its genre, as Kostman aimed and succeeded at defying the concepts of fashion and design as we know it.
The secret material allowed the flying jacket to be both lightweight and water resistant. ‘HELIUM-10000’is designed in Italy, made in Japan by local craftsman, and sold worldwide in many colors. You can either chose the wear the jacket, or hold the string and make your outwear fly. Kostman also invented an accessory that goes with it, called fury rocket, which is a “wireless bluetooth music box” in a form of a human holding the flying jacket inside a transparent rocket. There are only 100pieces sold to the public at the starting price of 10,000USD.
