What an honor to pose next to vintage Singer machines which are, amazingly, STILL working! At a man's clothing shop (tailor's) 
😃😃😃Though sewing and clothes making is commonly associated with women, men's tailoring has also a long history, glamor and tradition. Jules Verne makes Phileas Fogg reside in Savile Row, and dress from the legendary Savile Row tailors. Famously, Alexander McQueen trained there, stitching while seated cross legged on a counter top before he attended St Martin's.

I was amazed to find this tailor's workshop in central Limassol (near Anexartisias and Pentadromos, on Navarino street). Mr Kroisos Apostolou is a traditional men's tailor, who cuts and stitches by hand. Even his diploma, from a very well known Greek fashion school, dated 1973, is an historical document. You can see it here in the picture. Mr Apostolou was kind enough to pose for The Lipstick Papers!
Savile Row housed the Royal Geographic Society, in the glorious 19th century. If you want to know more, there is an article all about it in Wikipedia. Also, there is an informative piece in gq-magazine.co.ukabout Savile Row as it is today!
