Some catwalk styles similar to this dress
The Vietnamese Ao Dai
My first view of a Vietnamese Ao Dai (the national costume of Vietnam) was when I was still a student at the National University of Singapore (NUS).

I watched her move and was mesmerized at how the material flowed around her wrists and ankles.

Personality and individual style in pictures
I think if I ever wished to get to know a person without approaching the person and talking to them, one could just sit and observe. Apart from how people interact with others in their surrounding, their sense of style will say a lot about their personality, who they are or possibly want to be. When this is not intentionally the purpose, the message comes through anyway, just as language is a reflection of your thoughts. This we can also observe through photographs.
I’m posting two sets of pictures. The first set taken in Sweden and the second in Singapore, all by Kevin Cordeiro.
