PARIS – After shaking up the fashion world with a 4000-feet catwalk over the Grand Canyon and the Eiffel Tower phenomenon, Jessica Minh Anh will transform the sky-high sundeck of the luxurious Costa Luminosa cruise ship in Sydney into the world’s newest runway. With the iconic backdrop featuring Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, J Spring Fashion Show on 14 March 2016 will mark yet another breakthrough in the modern fashion presentation.

Costa Luminosa will be at anchor during the show, providing exclusive VIPs and the press with an opportunity to experience the unique catwalk right in the middle of the ocean. This is the second time Jessica Minh Anh has worked with Costa Cruises after the international success of J Winter Fashion Show on Costa Atlantica in Dubai in 2013. “Jessica Minh Anh is known worldwide for producing the world’s most extraordinary catwalks at places such as London’s Tower Bridge, the Seine in Paris, and One World Trade Center in New York City. We are extremely honored to work with her again on our Costa Luminosa (the ship of light) new flagship, providing a “Italy’s finest” location to this important event” said Neil Palomba, President Costa Cruises.

Similar to Jessica’s previous history-making catwalks, J Spring Fashion Show 2016 will feature a combination of haute couture, high end ready-to-wear, and jewelry collections from 4 continents. According to ABC New York, Jessica Minh Anh is special in many ways, one of which is her ability to mix art, architecture, culture, and fashion. The “queen of catwalk stunts” (CNN) has worked with not only top labels such as Montblanc, Graff Diamonds, Paul Costelloe, Addy van den Krommenacker, Yumi Katsura, Shiatzy Chen, and Tony Ward, but also promoted young talents including Ivanka Trump, Shilpa Reddy, Ziad Nakad, and Rami Kadi.

The highly anticipated catwalk will welcome country ambassadors, ministers, international fashion designers, Fortune 500 company directors, influential faces from various industries, and of course the international press. The full list of participating fashion brands and partners will be revealed in February 2016.
