Filipino designer Joyce Peñas Pilarsky joins international fashion show organizer and model Jessica Minh Anh to join eight other creative fashion houses from USA, UAE, France, Austria, Spain, Poland, Malaysia, and Vietnam at the international J Summer Fashion Show on July 30, 2012 on the Seine, Paris.
According to a publicity material issued by the J Model Management team, the high profile event will include a grand 60-meter catwalk on the river’s giant glass boat, Le Jean Bruel, and will cruise through Paris’ landmark sites including Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Louvre, and Grand Palais des Champs Elysees.
J Model Management, through the vision of its young director Jessica Minh Anh, had previously created international buzz with its successful and unusual shows at the Sky Bridge of Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur and the iconic Tower Bridge in England. J Model Management’s fashion event at the Petronas Towers earned the title “highest fashion show” for staging the first-ever fashion show inside the world’s tallest twin skyscrapers.

The forthcoming fashion show in Paris will have the illusion that the models are walking on water by having guests sit facing the glass windows surrounding Le Jean Bruel. The 360-degree view from the boat, an architectural masterpiece, along the Seine and the 37 extraordinary bridges that the boat will pass through will become a natural backdrop for the unusual catwalk.
