No ordinary skirt, the Hmong hidden story.
Every year during the Hmong’s most feastive celebration is the Hmong Noj Tsiab Peb Caug, a time of new year and end of harvest time celebration for the Hmong people around the world. This event usually took place between late November to December every year. When you attend this event, historically you can expect Hmong people to enjoy a feast ful of delicious food items and dishes directly prepared and gathered from their year long harvest gains. The Hmong people also took advantage of this time to be all decked out on their fine “zam” or newly made clothes as they parades for the courting opportunity of meeting new suitors that could end in a permanent relationship and marriage for the young people. However startling these prospects were to all attendees , one thing that will go unnoticeable were the vibrant color and rich details of the Hmong clothes, particularly the Hmong woman’s skirt.
