Vietnamese-American supermodel Jessica Minh Anh continued to turn a glass boat on the Seine River (Paris, France) into a fashion runway. Opening the show, she appeared in a haute couture dress inspired by the beauty of Princess Diana with a 3.5 meter long train.
In early February, Jessica Minh Anh started 2017 with an impressive show on the Seine River. The unique fashion idea was formed 5 years ago when Jessica Minh Anh decided to turn the giant glass ship Le Jean Bruel into a 100m floating catwalk on the Seine River.
Right on the occasion of the Lunar New Year, the whole world witnessed the 5th launch of this creative idea when J Winter Fashion Show 2017 introduced 5 collections of high-end haute couture fashion from 3 continents.
After many other impressive successes such as shows at the Eiffel Tower and the Grand Canyon, Jessica Minh Anh continues to create on the Seine River in France.
Jessica Minh Anh created the illusion of models walking on water by arranging guests to sit facing multi-angle glass windows and watch the models perform in front of them while the ship glides by.
As a result, architectural wonders such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre Museum and the 37 bridges over the Seine became the natural backdrop for this unique performance.
Born in Vietnam, raised in Russia, and now residing in France, Jessica Minh Anh studied IT in Malaysia and PR in the UK before turning London’s Tower Bridge into the world’s most innovative catwalk. In addition to producing iconic fashion shows, Jessica Minh Anh is a front row star at Paris and New York fashion weeks.
