Hmong

Models: Alexander Vue, Toua Lor, Mai See Lor and Claudia Vue

Traditionally, Hmong embroidery is used as a form of decoration on clothing to make it bright and beautiful. Hmong embroidery includes bright colors: pinks, reds, greens, as well as blues, and these are sometimes used to contrast with the colors overlaid with white. The different outfits and head pieces worn by the women identify which Hmong tribe they belong to as the Hmong people are very diverse.
