When adidas Originals brought Consortium back for FW11, the slate was wiped clean giving a fresh start to the premium range. It also paved the way for the next collection as they invited nine creative partners to fill in the canvas.Here’s drop one.
BC X Kate Moross (opposite) – Her distinctive style has her partnering up adidas Originals to interpret the BC, paying homage to the Olympics in her own graphic way.
Decade Hi X Aloe Blacc (opposite) – The ox blood premium leather is suggestive of African soil while the translucent gum outsole represents the bare foot of Blacc’s inspiration, Ethiopian gold medalist and marathon runner Abebe Bikila, who competed in the 1960 Olympics held in Rome.
Pro Shell X MURO – MURO’s Pro Shell is understated, but bursts of detail are found throughout, like the jersey material covering the ankle padding that features engineered stripes reminiscent of a track top’s cuff.
ZX 500 X Quote – Quote’s muted colour-way is directly influenced by the blue and white track of the Berlin Olympic Stadium.
Matchplay X J. Thompson – Thompson looked back to the adidas archives of track and field shoes from the ’30s as inspiration, and has used very subtle waxed leather on most of the upper which gives it a vintage look. A matching pigskin suede toebox shows impeccable attention to detail while the lack of lining gives it a handcrafted feel.

A public commission of the Ministry of Culture and Communication, “Fénautrigues”, published in 2010, shows 500 pictures out of 7000 shots taken, which constitute an aesthetic and analytical inventory of a landscape in which, from 1991 to 2006, Jean-luc MoulÈne photographed the places of his childhood in the department of Lot.“Fénautrigues” invites the visitor to contemplate landscape and time, in a manner that is not dictated by the seduction of the image, but rather in a way that entails the autonomy of the latter. Here, photography reflects a necessary and self-revealing autonomy of the glance, which is built in the heart of an active and critical aesthetic.

Tyler’s images don’t just stand out in an image drenched internet age – they constantly feature on Yahoo OMG!, TMZ, US Weekly, People Magazine, Mail Online and a host of other of the world’s largest media channels. So much so his collectors list is every bit as impressive as his collaborators, with movie, TV stars and studio bosses owning his limited edition works. Tyler’s Hollywood shows feature installations and happenings, such as a man being shot with live rounds, which result in them gaining more media exposure than most premiers.
