I  absolutely love the illustrations by Ukranian artist Vladislav Erko for this playing cards series. If you are a Paulo Coelho fan you may recognize Erko’s illustration style from his books. The two have worked together on most of Coelho’s best known stories.

Adidas definitely made the right choice when they decided to partner up with designer Jeremy Scott for their Originals line because he has single-handedly re-energized the brand.  The value added by Jeremy Scott can be seen through the latest Adidas Originals by Originals Fall/Winter 2010 collection, which consists of many interesting ideas that have become a staple of his own self-titled label. Jeremy takes the winged concept to the next level by attaching wings to hoodies and sweatpants. Other highlight pieces include the penguin tuxedo black tie sneakers, gold cross boots, biker track jacket with a tail, and apparel with various patterns. Do you like the collection? And if so, what item is a must have? Check out more looks below.

Here is a look into the Yves Saint Laurent 2011 Spring/Summer Sneaker Collection. YSL’s footwear captured a lot of attention when they first released the Rolling High Top leather sneaker a few years ago. Now with a few changes to the silhouette, the 2011 Collection is making noise again and I love what I’m seeing. Look for the full collection to be out by mid-December and start making room in your closet, I know I will. Video & more pics below.

Kanye West’s video for “Power” is going to be a work of art, spoken in the sense that each person will walk away with their own interpretation of what they just witnessed. So it’s only right that “From Civilization to Power”, the making of Kanye West’s Power music video, surfaces to offer you a little insight before you pass judgment. In the video Kanye can be seen sharing ideas with the artist/director Marco Brambilla while in a pair of white Balenciaga sneakers ($525) in white leather from the Spring/Summer 2010 Collection.
