I see Vietnamese women as strong, sophisticated, yet very feminine. Like Uyen on photos here.

They work hard and at the same time, they are in charge of the family.

What is one of the most striking symbols of beauty in Vietnam?


Definitely, it's an áo dài - Vietnam’s national dress!


For our last portrait photo session, Uyen chose this stunning and elegant red áo dài. Vietnamese people believe that red áo dài worn during Tết (Lunar New Year) is for luck and prosperity.

As people commonly say here: "The ao dai covers everything, but hides nothing"
