TheArsenale x Faith Connexion
The TheArsenale x Faith Connexion collaboration brought together future mobility engineering and high-fashion savoir-faire to create a pilot jumpsuit for the world's first flying motorcycle. Presented at Art Basel Miami 2022 at the Perez Art Museum, the collaboration united TheArsenale's vision for aerial transportation with the craftsmanship of Faith Connexion and Maria Buccellati.
TheArsenale: A Creative Lab for Future Mobility
TheArsenale, founded in 2015 by Patrice Meignan, operates as a creative lab and marketplace federating independent builders, designers and visionaries from across the mobility universe. With expertise spanning technology, fashion and transport, TheArsenale curates and co-creates the most forward-thinking mobility objects available anywhere in the world: from electric bikes and hypercars to personal submarines, eVTOL aircraft and now, flying motorcycles.
The Flying Motorcycle by Assen Aeronautic
The centerpiece of the collaboration is TheArsenale's first flying motorcycle, developed with French startup Assen Aeronautic. Building on the rapid advances in drone technology, Assen Aeronautic and TheArsenale engineered a motorcycle that transcends surface transport entirely. This machine represents a genuinely new category of personal transportation, combining the form language of a motorcycle with multi-rotor lift technology derived from the latest generation of professional drone engineering.
The Pilot Jumpsuit
To match the ambition of the flying motorcycle, TheArsenale designed a dedicated pilot outfit in collaboration with the fashion savoir-faire of Faith Connexion and Maria Buccellati. The resulting jumpsuit merges pilot functionality with the luxury aesthetics Faith Connexion is known for, creating a garment designed specifically to be worn while piloting this unprecedented vehicle.
The FLYSUITS TheArsenale is available directly through the store, alongside the broader TheArsenale apparel collection and the complete Doha Runway collection by TheArsenale x Faith Connexion.
Art Basel Miami 2022 Presentation
Faith Connexion and TheArsenale presented both the jumpsuit and the flying motorcycle during a special art event at the Perez Art Museum in Miami during Art Basel 2022. The lounge was powered by DDA Miami. The event marked one of the most striking intersections of future mobility and luxury fashion the art world has witnessed: a flying vehicle and its bespoke pilot outfit, unveiled together at the world's most prominent contemporary art fair.
