The ao dai is the national costume of Vietnam that is meant to grace a woman's figure. Modest yet seductive, it really is a beautiful article of clothing.


From the author: My fascination and appreciation for the ao dai runs deeper than my Vietnamese heritage that runs in my veins. In an attempt to find photos of the ao dai to post in my personal tumblr, I found a lack of photos compared to what I could find for the Indian saree. One day I decided that I would start a blog that was dedicated to ao dai.

Title: LL Ao Dai
Photography: Thomas Jeppeson
Note from the Photographer:

This is LL in the traditional and stunningly feminine vietnamese dress, the Ao Dai. It’s taken in the most dirty place I could find here in Hanoi. Unfortunately the picture doesn’t show the absolute horrifying green-blue river full of toilet flushings a few meters away. At temperatures in the late 30’s, the smell was pain inducing.
