Vietnamese Ao Dai by Nancy Ly

A few months ago, Nancy Ly, a reputable designer, invited me to photograph the her models wearing her recently designed Vietnamese dresses - Ao Dai ("long dress"). She had various traditional styles and also very modern dresses too.

There's the traditional cut in the background and a modern, halter cut in the foreground. Another halter cut.
Here's a boatneck cut with flared sleeves. Very modern. An ao dai for the bride.
And a criss-cross, backless dress.
