Models strutted down a floating runway in Paris Thursday (October 29) as fashion and culture intersected onboard a glass boat cruising down the River Seine .
Spectators were treated to the unique experience of seeing models walk in beautiful dresses whilst Paris’s famous sites drifted past above their heads.
The show featured designers from six different continents and was organised by Vietnamese fashion show producer Jessica Minh Anh, who also modelled in the show.
Minh Anh said that she constantly hunts for unique venues which combine fashion and a country’s heritage.
“I am definitely a venue hunter because I always hunt for the most extraordinary venues, discover new things, a new concept that combines art, architecture, culture and fashion. I am definitely a catwalk producer because I produce fashion shows, I really focus on the cultural element combining different countries and heritages together. Then, I model as well so it is a combination of all those things,” she said.
Guests ogled renowned Paris monuments, like the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and Paris’ town hall, through the boat’s glass ceiling during the one and a half hour cruise on the Seine.
Minh Anh said that she hoped that the show was an opportunity for guests to see the French capital in a new light.
“Hopefully they will find it a very memorable experience, they will see the beautiful combination of fashion and Paris, they see Paris in a new light and they really enjoy themselves,” she said.
Minh Anh is known for organising catwalks in famous venues such as on the Grand Canyon’s sky walkway, London’s Tower Bridge and the world’s first solar-powered runway show in Spain. (A featured news from Reuters)
