King P Fashion Design

Another one of the street vendors (see Fruit Vendor) from Govan Mbeki Avenue in the city centre. This dude does alterations to clothes and the fact that he is using a antique Singer machine just fascinated me. The sign in front of his table says: King P Fashion Design - Alteration.
I know this is Port Elizabeth Daily Photo (as in one photo a day), but I couldn't resist placing a second pic just to show where his stall is situated. Right in front of City Hall and Market Square.

  1. Not the place to have a 'wardrobe malfunction' necessitating emergency fashion repairs - I don't see any dressing room.

    Maybe Mayor Maphazi wouldn't mind us using her parlour?
