Vogue Fashion

5187 is just a number on a door, but for us at Vogue Fashion, it’s where everything happens every day. It’s a pretty tight space inside. We have piles of fabric here and there on the chairs. Sometimes it gets a bit messy when we are in the middle of a big batch of orders. We don't really bother with making it look like a showroom because we don't get many walk-ins. It’s a workspace first and foremost. The street outside is usually noisy with scooters and people shouting to each other. We’ve got these old fans that hum all day long. If you come looking for us at 5187, you just look for the grey door. We don’t spend much on decorations because that isn’t what we are about here. We just make clothes. The light coming through the small window isn't great, so we use a lot of tube lights even during the day. It’s a bit of a repetitive life, cutting and sewing and checking the seams over and over. We drink a lot of water because it gets stuffy when the sun hits the roof. There are a few of us here every morning by nine. We don’t really leave until the sun is long gone and the street quietens down. It is just a regular job in a regular building. Nothing fancy at all. We just try to get the orders done so they can go out to the people who bought them.
