Jessica Minh Anh on Eiffel Tower showcasing a designer's work

Middle Eastern designers selected for Paris' fashion show

PARIS, September 28, 2014

Global fashion sensation Jessica Minh Anh has selected two Middle Eastern luxury brands- Dar Naseem AlAndalos, Bahrain; and Debaj, Qatar to showcase their work at the world’s newest catwalk, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, at the J Autumn Fashion Show on October 31.

Covering the panoramic view of Paris, the fashion show will present extraordinary collections from eight countries and mark Jessica’s eighth history making catwalk around the world.

Similar to Anh’s previous fashion phenomena on London’s Tower Bridge, Grand Canyon Skywalk, and One World Trade Centre, J Autumn Fashion Show 2014 will present a combination of art, culture, architecture, and fashion. Over 120 haute couture and ready-to-wear pieces from Europe, Asia, and America have been carefully selected for the one-of-a-kind catwalk.

Bahraini powerhouse Dar Naseem AlAndalos will premiere a new breed of haute couture with a French-Moroccan fusion collection.  Emphasising on luxurious caftans and fashion-forward detailing, the mother-daughter team beautifies lavish, modern women. “I instantly fell in love with the brand after seeing the classy and sophisticated designs by Hayaa AlFadhel and her mother Nabila AlAissaoui. They are experts at accentuating a woman’s figure using light fabrics and subtle details. Their dresses are a work of art,” said Anh.

Another representative from the Middle East is Qatari luxury brand Debaj, who uses intricate embellishments and floral art. Inspired by Parisian elegance, Debaj will transform Islamic Abayas into original masterpieces. Joining the region’s finest is Saudi designer Omaymah Azzouz of OM Fiore, who blends Arab embroidery threads into European fabrics.

Returning to Anh’s iconic catwalk is Vietnamese “King of the Red Carpet” Hoang Hai. The celebrity haute couture designer will premiere his dream-like collection, which includes hand-beaded details and creative cuts. Merging the East and the West on a global platform, Indian sensation Shilpa Reddy will present a bold statement with clean structure, premium fabrics, and impeccable finishes.

Besides the garment collections, she has handpicked German brand Mont Blanc to add luxury and heritage to the catwalk.

Considering her previous symbolic catwalk venues, it came as no surprise that her choice for Paris is the Eiffel Tower. “I see a strong connection between fashion and the best of locations. The most exquisite designs should be displayed at architectural masterpieces,” said Jessica. “Eiffel Tower represents an artist’s dreams, and inspires their many creations. I want to make those dreams attainable.” – TradeArabia News Service
