Flower Hmong, a photo from Lao Cai, North East

Photographer's Note

Nestled high in the mountains of northern Vietnam, adjacent to the China Border, live the eight ethnic minority groups of Sapa.

Most notable are the Flower Hmong, whose colorful fashion delight from head to toe. When I arrived for the Sunday Bac Ha market, I couldn抰 consume enough of the bright colors and varied patterns adorned by young and old alike. And I couldn抰 decide which I liked best � gazing from afar at the masterpiece of seemingly clashing pieces paired together in perfect harmony, or pouring over the fine details up close. Either way, their fashion was simply art.
