Genoa, March 4, 2016 - 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, calling at Sydney during her Around-the-World cruises, 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 combine art, architecture, culture, and fashion. Premiering exquisite haute couture, read-to-wear, and jewellery collections from 4 continents, the exclusive red carpet event is set to further redefine a series of modern standards. 

 Costa Luminosa will be at anchor during the show, providing 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, Eiffel Tower, 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.

J Spring Fashion Show 2016 will feature the latest haute couture collections by Elie Saab’s protégé Jad Ghandour, Lebanese talent Rouba.G, Pakistan’s pride Syeda Amera, Romanian brand Chotronette, and Australia’s very own brand Begitta  as well as a ready-to-wear collection by Beverley Riverina of BlackHills, New Zealand. The glamorous event will include everything from a burst of colours, layers, and texture, well-cut silhouette, detailed embroideries, and seductive transparency, to innovative craftsmanship. Jessica Minh Anh has previously worked with top labels such as Montblanc, Graff Diamonds, Buccellati, Paolo Sebastian, Addy van den Krommenacker, Yumi Katsura, Shiatzy Chen, and Tony Ward, while promoting young talents including Ivanka Trump, Shilpa Reddy, Azzi & Osta, and Rami Kadi.
