Russian kids raving in a forest

One often reads much about how the rise of Russia's middle class and how the Russian youth of today now have money to burn. Besides queueing up in droves to see plot-light, effects-heavy American action films at the cinema, what else do Russian kids spend their dough on?
Here's your answer: Trips to the forest to show off their new tracksuits while sky-high on a potent combo of 'roids and dance drugs ...

Razzle-dazzle

US basketball fans love courtside hot-dogging almost as much as the game itself. Every little break in the action is immediately filled by perma-grinning cheerleaders, whooshing graphics and deafening jingles. In Toronto, they've ratcheted up the drama a few more notches.

A Child of the Jago: Original terrorist clothing

This French Anarchist Worker Blue Wool Jacket from Shoreditch shop A Child of the Jago is a pretty strong look and top of my birthday want list. Below, find the skinny on the shop and the jacket:

A Child of the Jago - A child of the street, the destitute and illegitimate progeny of a hopelessly rundown environment, founded in 2007 by Simon "Barnzley" Armitage and Joseph Corre.
The French Anarchist jacket features a pinned black and grey stripe ‘Terrorist’ sleeve cuff with embroidered shears, this represents the designers affiliation with ‘The Militant Guild of Rural Tailors’. The jacket is finished with navy and blue rear shoulder inserts, three worker style front pockets, black and ecru plaid wool lining and a single inside pocket with visible outer stitching.



If you move fast you can snap it up from Coggles in their winter sale. It's down from an Aristocratic £475 to a still-far-from proletarian £237.50.
