Five Square Meters of Fashion HistoryFive Square Meters of Fashion History

Khalil's tiny shop in Bab Sharqi holds decades of fashion history in its one-meter space.

In a trip to the past that fits for only one passenger, the tailor Khalil – a young man of forty years – takes us back to the history of fashion, through a set of posters that he took from the fashion magazines that his mother owned, placing them in every possible corner of his small five-meters stop which has been located for twelve years in Bab Sharqi, in the old city of Damascus.

In Khalil’s shop, only one meter is available for us to stand , but it represents years of our memories.
