Bac Ha Sunday Market. The black velvet of this woman's blouse contrasts with the bright lines of ribbon colour. Scarf generally matches the skirt in colour theme. Along with Guatemala and Afghanistan before the disaustrous wars there, the Flower Hmong, have to be my favourite colour-clothing artists. There is a uniform, but that uniform is so jazzy as to be unbelievable and totally enviable. Photos by Alwyne; processing by Ron LaCroix.
