THE KHMER

The Khmer Krom literally, “Khmer from below” – live in southern Viet Nam, where they are the Mekong Delta’s second biggest ethnic group, after the Kinh. In general, it is not typical to see Khmer people wearing traditional clothing in their daily life. Only ladies over the age of 50 still wear it to the temple and shave their hair as a sign of respect for the Buddha. I only went to one village where two or three locals are still making it. However, this silk clothing is a work of art, with designs very similar to Buddhist temple pictures. The Khmer used to create their own silk, but today they buy it from the Kinh. They still dye yarn with colourful powders; however, the powders are imported from Thailand rather than being made from forest plants. I met Neang Phong, an 83-year-old woman, on her porch a few years ago when she was creating a traditional outfit. When I returned, she recognised me, and I was able to photograph her in it.
