So later on Flowie and I headed across the road to A Child Of The Jago, which is down Great Eastern Street. The owners/designers Barnzley and Joe Corre (son of Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne westwood), have used all their past experiences to create a seriously twisted concept store. They sell a selection of surviving pieces from British culture and all of which are 100% genuine mostly used an worn garments. Personal favorites included a Nazi SS uniform, an Apache Indian theatrical headdress, the King Arthur style knight’s helmet from the Crusades and the Perly King’s jacket with matching hat. As soon as you step through the doors, your hit with ambiance, reminiscent of Westwood’s boutique, World’s End. Also, upstairs the clash between modern fashion and 70’s culture is axiomatic among the ranges of apache cashmere hoodies to the new Napoleon silk-patch bamboo tee’s. Other ranges are from antique jewelry, vintage sartorial bibles and even parts of McLaren’s record collection.
