If your ever in Fairbanks stop in some of the old shops in the downtown area it is like taking a step back in time.
These Kuspuks have been in the window for years and have faded quite a bit

Candid image of a tailor at work in his shop on the Main Street of Nanjangud, Karnataka. Taken with a 50mm lens and edited in Lightroom.
As my solo journey through rural India continues, I come across people from different walks of life every day.
That tailor looked over 80 years old with all the tell-tale signs of old-age sneaking up on him. While I was wondering how could he really squeeze into that little shop which looked like a match box and measured 4'X 4', our man seemed contented and deeply immersed in his profession. He did not even bother to lift his head or respond to my request to take a picture.
I got fascinated by another character with a majestic mustache, who was obviously a customer eagerly waiting for his new dress. His weathered skin reflected the hardships undergone throughout the tough life in this country. From the ambience of the place, it felt as if I had traveled 100 years back into the past. Neither did I get a reply while bidding goodbye to that self-sufficient senior citizen. A little later I came to know that he was completely deaf.
It was a pair of parallel worlds situated on either side of the frame telling a story. A story of deafening silence from the motherland of ironies !!

In one of the shopping malls in the busy center of Tangail city, two tailors are working on preparing custom made clothings.
Tangail, Bangladesh.
Come get suited and booted at Theo's tailoring!
This is my attempt at an Art Nouveau styled building. It has been on the to do list for many years but I've lacked the quantity of usable pieces to create something believable until recently obtaining a decent number of arches and curved pieces. I've been through a ton of source material and there are some eye catching examples from Belgium/Netherlands/Latvia just to name a few. My home city has next to none and seems to skip to Art-Deco so its all been online viewing for me.
My main remit was to create a curved bay with 5 windows but not have it look too big and clunky. As for everything else, much like Art Nouveau there are organic shapes aplenty, balconies, plants for decoration and a lack of symmetry. I've tried a bunch of techniques I've not done before and copied the odd one from a previous build such as the roof. It's taken two months in all!
The interior houses a tailors which I found a befitting shop for the style of the building -c1910-1920's. There is a cutaway wall to show the staircase/tailors studio. I thought a shop with varied heights would be more interesting!
Cheers!

A giant inflatable duck created by the Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman will be leaving Hong Kong. It has brought lots of happiness to everyone here. It was a pity that I couldn't see it myself due to health issue and rl work. Gladly, someone sweet gave me a miniature version together with a tailor-made bowl. Love the petals! Now I can see it every day in-world. How nice (^_^).
Week 2 Sue Roe: The Private Lives of the Impressionists Part 1 (1306 – 1310) 2/5 -2/9/2023
ID 1306
Pierre-August Renoir French 1841 - 1919
Romaine Lacaux , 1864
Oil on fabric
Commissioned by the Lacaux family, Renoir probably painted this portrait while at an artist’s colony in the village of Barbizon. Possibly his earliest signed canvas, this painting is among the first in which he explored a new, more luminous palette after abandoning the dark tones of his academic studies. The delicate treatment of the girl’s face and hair reflects Renoir’s early training as a porcelain painter in Limoges.
Gift of the Hanna Fund 1942.1065
From the Placard: The Cleveland Museum of Art
As a child, Renoir demonstrated his talent by drawing on the floor with tailor’s chalk. As soon as he was old enough (thirteen), he started work as a porcelain painter, rendering flowers and profiles of Marie-Antoinette by hand on teacups and vases. He was paid by the amount of crockery he completed and since he was a very quick worker, he made good money. By the time he was fifteen he had been able to help his parents buy a small artisan’s cottage in Louveciennes, a village in the crux of the Seine’s meander a few miles west of Paris. But with the introduction of new machinery and advances in mass production of porcelain, the money he had saved began to melt away.

Following the recent London Flickr Group photowalk I had a wander round Chinatown as it happened to coincide with the Chinese Lunar New Year. It was heaving with people, probably as a result of the Trafalgar Square celebration just having ended.
Thanks to the juxtaposition of the Wardour St Chinatown gate and the futuristic W London Hotel in the background I thought this scene had a vaguely Bladerunner feel to it.....
The next London Flickr photowalk will be on Saturday, March 2nd. More details here if you'd like to come along : www.flickr.com/groups/londonflickrgroup/discuss/721577219...
From Wikipedia, "The present Chinatown, which is off Shaftesbury Avenue did not start to be established until the 1970s. Previously, it was a regular Soho area, run-down, with Gerrard Street the main thoroughfare. It was dominated by the Post Office, facing Macclesfield Street, and other major establishments were The Tailor & Cutter House, at 43/44, now a Chinese supermarket and restaurant, the Boulogne Restaurant, near the Wardour Street end, and by Peter Mario's Restaurant at the other end. Other businesses included a master baker's, the Sari Centre, Lesgrain French Coffee House, Harrison Marks' Glamour Studio, an Indian restaurant and various brothels.
Probably the first Chinese restaurants opened in Lisle Street, parallel to Gerrard Street, and more opened gradually; one of the first restaurants was Kowloon Restaurant. The Tailor & Cutter did not close down until around 1974. The area now has more than 80 restaurants."

With an interior built to match a car from Ferrari's earlier generations Tailor Made was pushed as far as possible in this situation. The owner actually wanted the entire interior done in the leather but Ferrari actually limited how far they were able to go with it unfortunately.
The resident tailors hard at work on their latest creation.

Our Daily Challenge - Feb 7, 2017 - "Repetition"
Daily Dog Challenge 1925. "Patterns"
Good grief, I should have just hung it around somebody's neck. The pattern/repetition gets lost in the camera angle. :(
This will be prop #6 for the year, unless something else sneaks in before I finish. Prop #5 is already completed, but has yet to make its debut.
The cream fleece will be a collar.
Between taking the picture and typing this text, I've cut it to length, hemmed the ends, and tacked it into place.
The plaid fabric is a double layer of flannel wired ribbon (with the wire pulled out) bought on heavy discount after Christmas. The width was too perfect to pass up, and the edges were already neatly hemmed to enclose the wire.
The buttons (not yet attached) were lucky finds in my beads-n-baubles box.
This is the first time I've tried adding a collar to their collars. I'll let you know how it turns out!
Keep in mind, my sewing skills are pretty basic, at best.
Autotags: "people"... but no dogs. The boys are unimpressed.

I love a smart, well tailored pair of culottes, or divided skirt as I prefer to call them.
This is a particularly classy pair with nice pleating and a very generous ankle length, which I love. I bought these on ebay, but from the cut and style, I'd say they were very expensive when originally sold.
Culottes are like pencil skirts to me. They are a must have in one's wardrobe, but an item of clothing that I don't wear regularly, but when I do, I really appreciate having it :-)

Today we pay a visit to the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland. We are in Scotch Street, Armagh, County Armagh. The lazy dog, the waiting donkey, the man on the ladder and lots more to be seen here.
As with yesterday's Belfast image it was the street directories and the businesses listed that helped refine the date range for today's image. Included are the Ulster Gazette (newspaper/printers), Robert Irwin (tailor), Charles Clarke (boots/shoes), and J Cochran (cycles).
Photographer: Robert French
Collection: Lawrence Photograph Collection
Date: Catalogue range c.1865 - 1914. Though likely after 1895 and possibly before 1903/1905.
