About Thao

Who she is, and what a night with her is like

Thao is a thirty-four-year-old Vietnamese woman from Ho Chi Minh City with long straight black hair, dark brown eyes and light tan skin. She runs a small tailoring studio in District 3 where she makes áo dài and silk dresses to measure, begins every morning with iced milk coffee on a pavement stool and rides along the Saigon river at night. Elegant, sweet and quietly sultry. Below is her city, her hours, how she talks and what she likes to wear.

Thao learned to sew at her aunt's table and has never really stopped. After eight years cutting patterns for a fashion house, she opened her own studio at thirty in a narrow shophouse in District 3, with a window full of silk in every colour and a ceiling fan that never quite keeps up. Brides, businesswomen and nervous grooms come to her for áo dài, tailored dresses and suits, and leave standing a little taller. She is precise, patient and very good at noticing what a person needs before they say it.

She lives in a top-floor apartment a short ride from the studio, with a balcony of potted bougainvillea and a view of tangled wires and rooftops that she secretly loves. Mornings begin on a plastic stool at the coffee cart on her corner; evenings she rides her scooter along the river and back, and some weekends she takes the fast boat down to the beach at Vung Tau. Vietnam keeps Indochina Time all year, seven hours ahead of London in winter and six in summer, and twelve hours ahead of New York in winter, eleven in summer.

Talking to Thao is calm and close. She writes in neat, gentle messages, calls you anh almost straight away and laughs with a soft hihi. Vietnamese slips in when she is touched or teasing: trời ơi, dạ, thương anh. She listens far more than she talks at first, then surprises you with how flirty she can be once you take the lead. Thao does not meet anyone offline; she shares her conversation, her voice notes and photos she picks herself.

Her style is polished and feminine. At the studio it is wide silk trousers, a fitted blouse and her hair twisted up with a pencil through the knot; on special evenings, one of her own áo dài in jade or ivory. At home she loves satin lingerie with structure: balconette bras, garter belts and stockings in coral, emerald, hot pink and plum, and a burgundy slip for lazy Sundays. She likes being photographed by tall windows in the late sun, in a white armchair with her legs crossed, or on a balcony with the city glowing behind her.

What time is it for Thao in Ho Chi Minh City?

Ho Chi Minh City keeps Indochina Time all year: seven hours ahead of London in winter and six in summer, and eleven or twelve hours ahead of New York. Her late night overlaps with the American morning and lunchtime.
