The Grand Canyon, Eiffel Tower and now a solar-powered boat: Jessica Minh Anh’s next runway show
Vietnamese model-turned-fashion show producer Jessica Minh Anh always puts on a spectacular show.
She has conquered some of the world’s most iconic landmarks and impressed audiences with a two-tiered, outdoor, 150-metre catwalk on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower. In Singapore, she turned the OCBC Skyway at Gardens by the Bay into a runway, and in Kuala Lumpur, she produced the world’s highest fashion show across the Petronas Twin Towers’ sky bridge.

Minh Anh, who incorporates sustainability and innovation into each of her productions, has held runway shows at London Tower Bridge, the Grand Canyon, the Hoover Dam and Gemasolar power plant in Spain.
Conquering both the skies and the sea, Minh Anh has continued to produce her ocean catwalk series, and we were given an exclusive sneak peek and access to the site of her next show.

Next month, Minh Anh’s next Fashion x Sustainability show, the J Autumn Fashion Show 2019, will be the first solar-powered ocean catwalk and will be held on the Race for Water vessel.
The boat has 512 square metres of solar panels stored in eight tonnes of batteries, and Minh Anh’s show will take place in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and filmed as a documentary.
What we learned from Paris Fashion Week so far
“I would like to highlight sustainability through artistic and cinematic captures that will hopefully [be] universally embraced”, said Minh Anh in a press statement. “I believe we can achieve great results by stimulating mindset[s] towards green initiatives in a creative way”.
Minh Anh visited the vessel earlier this month in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, and STYLE was given a first look at what’s in store for her next fashion extravaganza.
