Jessica Minh Anh’s unique fashion runway

Supermodel Jessica Minh Anh is an innovative fashion show producer with extraordinary visual concepts. Her impressive catwalks have received global media coverage from CNN, FOX, CNBC, ABC, CBS, Telemundo, ELLE, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue and Paris Match.
To date, Jessica Minh Anh has been the only model in the world who is licensed to put on fashion shows at world famous landmarks. Her catwalks include the Eiffel Tower and the Seine in France; the Grand Canyon Skywalk, the Hoover Dam and One World Trade Center in the US; London’s Tower Bridge; Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia; Gemasolar power plant in Spain; and Gardens by the Bay in Singapore.

Jessica Minh Anh’s shows have always drawn special media attention with around 50 press organizations frequently keeping track of her events.

Minh Anh has her own way of producing fashion shows. She always chooses the most unique venues that will amaze the world.

For Jessica Minh Anh, catwalks are not only a place to show original and splendid costumes but also a platform to advocate for environmental protection.

In 2015 and 2017, Jessica Minh Anh took financial risks to invest in two major shows, one at Spain’s globally iconic Gemasolar power plant and the other at Hoover Dam in the US to promote green technology.
