Áo Dài ơi.... (My third interview for KiemAn project)

" I love my job so much- It's my whole life to make people become prettier. I love my job so much..."

 Bac Kim Mui, the owner of Ao Dai Kim Mui shop on Doi Can street talked about her job as an Ao Dai designer with a delighting voice and happy facial expressions. I feel like she can keep talking about Ao Dai as well as her passion for designing transitional and modern style of Ao Dai for  the whole day.  She loves her job that is so obvious, she started falling in love with  Ao dai when she was every young, cycling around Old Streets of Hanoi, seeing Vietnamese ladies in Ao dai and many different famous Ao dai stores near by the Hoan Kiem lake. At that time, almost every young girls in Vietnam knows how to sew, fix and make cloths for family, Bac Kim Mui- at that time, only made Ao dai, not anything else. She even quited her stable job in medical field to focus on designing Ao dai. She loves her job...

As you may know, Ao Dai is very different from other clothes, it is supposed to cover the whole body of the girl- the traditional style  doesn't show too much girl's skin, but at the same time, very sexy because Ao dai is made tightening up the body. However, it doesn't mean that Ao Dai is only for young and perfect body- Bac Kim Mui claimed that- It so much depends on the creative and sensitive sense of Ao Dai designer. There are many ways to make you fit in an Ao dai perfectly even though you're too chubby , too short or too skinny. If you are small, Bac Kim Mui will make " tà cộc" Ao dai- shorter lap of dress and let you wear a tight jeans with high heels, you will definitely look much taller ! Although making Ao Dai is very difficult, Bac Kim Mui is very confident with her skills, experiences, creativity and especially, strong passion for Ao Dai...

Interviewing the Ao Dai designer makes me feel more respectful when wearing traditional dress. Vietnamese girl was born to wear Ao dai and only Ao Dai- I believe that.

Bac Kim Mui is measuring Ao dai for my mom :)

P/S: after the interview, Bac Mui impressed me so much that I ordered 2 Ao Dai right in her shop. I have just got them several days ago and trust me, they're just perfect ! :D gonna wear for you all to see very soon...
