something like a fashion post

All right! Let me take you for a walk in Diyatalawa! First I show you how the people dry their clothes once there is a rain break and some sun.

Then on your right side you will meet the lady tailor Gertrud. She is very sweet and I gave her some work to do! You will the results later.

On the left side there is these 2 guys, I dont know their names, but they know me. Because I enjoy so much dogging in their piles of old clothes, mainly coming from the West. 80ies jackets and sweaters. But on the picture you see the winter collection "made in Sri Lanka". I bought a silk safari print jacket which got transformed into a sari blouse. Which I am wearing without a sari. I hope that is ok.

 

I took my safarishirt out to the Barefoot Cafe in Colombo, to drink a nice papayajuice. The Barefoot cafe is the place where you can spend hours looking at the beautiful handloom fabrics they sell (like that table cloth). Fortunately the EC-cash machine did not work that day, so I only bought a post card.

There was also a retro poster exhibition. One poster illustrates the sri lankan railroad experience. I add a picture from the train in Diyatalawa.
