Model and entrepreneur Jessica Minh Anh will mark her 10th history-making fashion show by transforming the award-winning solar power plant, Gemasolar in Seville, Spain, into the world’s newest catwalk on 17 July 2015. J Summer Fashion Show 2015 follows Jessica Minh Anh's phenomenal successes at the world’s most iconic venues including the Eiffel Tower, London’s Tower Bridge, Grand Canyon Skywalk, and One World Trade Center among others. Jessica Minh Anh, whose catwalk was recently ranked in top 10 most impressive productions of all time alongside Dior and Fendi (ELLE Mexico), represents a new generation of creative leaders. Fashion editor of ELLE Italia Giulia Pacella is excited about the project saying, “Jessica had models walking in the sky (Grand Canyon Skywalk), atop the iconic Eiffel Tower, and on water (Hudson River). I have no doubt this show will be yet another mind-blowing success.”
Last weekend, Jessica Minh Anh and her creative team flew in to produce a series of fashion photos and the official promotional video of J Summer Fashion Show 2015 at Gemasolar. The exotic beauty was surrounded by the cinematic backdrop of the famous central tower and thousands of shining mirrors. To highlight the sun’s effects on the exquisite fashion and jewellery collections, the shoot was captured by the latest drone technology. Jessica Minh Anh modelled 7 brand new haute couture dresses by Vietnamese celebrity designer Hoang Hai, 3 flamenco dresses by Spanish talent Pilar Vera, and a customised Pandora jewellery collection during the 12-hour shoot. To complement Jessica Minh Anh’s impressive look, Spanish hair stylist Jorge De Sancho took on the challenge to create the model’s signature hairstyles. Jessica Minh Anh is well known for not only her phenomenal fashion productions, but also for her unique hairstyles which graced numerous fashion and beauty magazines worldwide.
In the promotional video, Jessica Minh Anh shared, “As an IT specialist, I’m intrigued by the technical aspect of the plant. Gemasolar’s pioneering method of producing electricity 24 7 using only the sun makes this plant a global symbol for sustainability and innovation. On the other hand, as a catwalk producer, I can vividly see my ideal catwalk right in the middle of Gemasolar. I’m particularly passionate about this project because we have an opportunity to not only promote fashion and beauty but also celebrate the best of advanced technology and environmental preservation."
The shoot also featured an exclusive interview with Raul Mendoza Ruiz, Gemasolar Plant Manager, Torresol Energy, saying, "It is an honor for TORRESOL ENERGY to have Jessica Minh Anh transform GEMASOLAR into the first ever solar powered catwalk. Gemasolar is part of the next generation of power plants and represents the future, just as Jessica does in fashion. We believe the world will be truly amazed with this mixture of high technology and high fashion.” Another interview was with Seville’s very own Rosabus CEO Anselmo Rosa Banos, who was excited to contribute to the grand project, “We are ready to transport Jessica Minh Anh’s creative team to Gemasolar on 17 July 2015. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”
The list of participating designers will soon be revealed alongside the promotional video of the show.
