There are, for example, reflective jackets with sewn-on "backpacks", with particularly highly reflective applications or those which have a detachable part of leather. The 27-year-old designer called "A Character's Coat" the collection, which took its beginning as an art project. There has been a lot of applause in the past few months: for example at the "Salome del Mobile" in Milan, at the "Take Festival" in Vienna or at the "Design Week" in the Federal Capital. In the course of an exhibition, their coats met the works and installations of those creative are who had inspired them to their models. She was responsible for the concept.

Piaf grew up with two brothers and their parents in Meek. An internship with Mario Schwab had led her after her training at the Modes chute to London. It matured into the idea of ​​"A Character's Coat". Back home, she looked for ten creative people; they and their everyday life were the starting point for the collection. An example: "Supergun Applet is a light artist. It is out in all weather, works with headlights that get very hot, "the designer describes. So far, the creators had always been touring the Zwieback look, an all-rounder was now to be created, which they can also use in their free time. For a long time, Piaf has researched for this piece, and has made a smart use of materials used by the fire brigade and the military. Finally, a coat made of water-repellent, flame-retardant fabric, including highly reflective patches.

The artist Anna Payer, on the other hand, now wears a reflective vest including a sewn-on, finely padded back pocket, "because she travels a lot with the bike," the designer describes. Enormously robust models created them for Trawler; the product design studio specialized in product design in Vienna often works with wood and metal, their coats are made of denim and have details coated with rubber. "It was a real experiment," she grins.

All these coats were almost prototypes; meanwhile, they are also made for individual customers and individualized. A weather-resistant piece was wanted by a real estate broker, "because she is on the road in any weather".

"A Character's Coat" was like a starting shot for the young milked person who made herself independent in 2015. Among the coats joined blouses and trousers in flowing cuts since then. The fast-paced fashion of Piaf Bauer cannot win much. "There is already a small upheaval instead of fashioning fashion more sustainably. To create one collection after the other, I never wanted. I will continue to make small collections - with portable, rather timeless models. "

In addition, she is now working on a major contract again: in a competition of the Chamber of Commerce, she emerged as the winner and is now responsible for the hostess reflective clothing for EXPO 2017.

On the other hand, Piaf did not want to make any self-help, she now winks. "At first I was too good-natured, took many orders, which did not turn out to be true afterwards. Today, I can also say no, "the young woman, who lives with her boyfriend in a Viennese apartment, is also a studio.

Security company wears safety jackets to protect candidates

But this one was relatively light: it allowed Valery Giscard-d'Estaing to drive his own car on the highway, without bodyguard, under the eye of the cameras.

  In the 1980s, the GSPR was composed exclusively of gendarmes. In his first term in 1995, Jacques Chirac decided to change his composition, mixing police and military.

It is from this configuration, specially established since the attacks of 2015, which will inherit the president-elect

When the days get shorter again: tips for road traffic

Darkness, fog, temperatures near the frost limit – it’s a weather that traffic people have to face these days. Pedestrians need to wear safety vest to enhance visibility in this bad environment. Foliage on the road also makes the road slippery and the spotlight does not show the performance that it shows in dry weather due to spreading effects.

But not only seeing is important in the dark season. Particular attention should also be given to all road users to be "seen". Police superintendent Antje Freudenberg, police officer of the Luneburg / Liuchow-Dannenberg / Uele police inspectorate, said: "All traffic users should now drive their vehicles with their lights on. Not only motorists, but also all two-wheelers, especially the cyclists, significantly increase their safety in road traffic. "Bright clothes with reflectors, a good bicycle helmet and a traffic-safe two-wheeled bike made for even better visibility in the dark. The theme of light clothes applies in particular to pedestrians and not just for children.

Even wheelchair users can do something for their road safety. Since wheelchairs are usually not well lit, they should be equipped with additional reflectors. "A good idea is if a reflective vest, which should be carried by every driver in the vehicle, is hanged over the handles of the wheelchair. As a result, it is much more perceived by subsequent traffic. And if the wheelchair is pushed by a companion, it can cover the vest, "says Antje Freudenberg. It is also important that road users take longer trips, take the foot off the gas, and focus on the traffic, especially in the dark and in poor visibility conditions. People who might be bad in the dark should be aware of this and think about the purchase of a special night vision glasses.

To be accident-free from A to B, the vehicle must be safe. In the case of the car, especially fully functional headlights and by the coming spring winter tires with at least 1.6 millimeter profile depth, better still four millimeters, belong to it.

Ottoman Frederic’s, a specialist operator of the company Verges, says that in addition to the lighting system and mounted winter tires, "a cooling fluid suitable for the cool temperatures, winter cleaning water, fresh engine oil, a functioning battery, intact windshield wipers and also cleaned windows Vehicle and traffic safety ".

"The winter check with tire change and control of the lighting system is currently very well received," says Patel in reflective clothing. In order to increase traffic safety in autumn and winter, the traffic watch, together with many participating workshops, offers the free light test in October nationwide.
