JMA UPDATES | JESSICA MINH ANH COMMANDS THE RUNWAY AT PARIS FASHION WEEK HAUTE COUTURE

World-renowned catwalk producer and supermodel Jessica Minh Anh captivated Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture this season, first as a warrior queen on Franck Sorbier’s catwalk, then transforming into a blonde goddess on the front row at Yuima Nakazato and Peet Dullaert’s shows.

As the lights dimmed and anticipation filled the room, all eyes turned to the grand staircase at the Franck Sorbier show. A vision of power and poise, Jessica Minh Anh debuted as the first catwalk model, commanding attention in a dramatic floor-length black gown while wielding a large wooden staff adorned with teeth and claws. Her avant-garde ensemble combined a structured sleeveless top with intricate fabric compression, accentuating her waist, and a skirt of floating silk chiffon panels. Blending raw strength with primal elegance, Jessica’s deliberate movements down the staircase and across the catwalk radiated undeniable authority, setting the tone for the show.

Her bold, edgy updo, accented with her signature fringe, added a mystical dimension to her striking silhouette. The makeup, featuring feathery lashes and extended eyeliner, further amplified the intensity of the look, while wooden shoes with a black geometric pattern offered a modern contrast to the natural elements of the staff.

Jessica’s magnetic presence defined the unveiling of the “Barbarian Symphony” collection, a powerful homage to the Israeli and Palestinian women’s movement, Women Wage Peace.

Minutes after the show, Jessica Minh Anh transformed into a blonde goddess exuding ethereal charm. Her voluminous, textured hairstyle balanced structure and flow, with a soft, cloud-like halo and cascading waves framing her face and shoulders.

Supporting Yuima Nakazato from the front row, Jessica continued her longstanding admiration for Japanese designers and artistry. With over a decade of collaboration with Japanese fashion icon Yumi Katsura — fronting her bridal campaigns and walking her runways in Paris and New York — Jessica deeply appreciates Japanese heritage and craftsmanship.

“Yuima Nakazato’s profound storytelling with the ‘Fade’ collection transported us into a world where nature and urban landscapes seamlessly intertwined. He masterfully pushes the boundaries of couture while staying deeply connected to emotion and transformation,” Jessica Minh Anh shared.

Jessica Minh Anh appeared at Peet Dullaert’s show on the final day of Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture, wearing the designer’s signature black, sculpted one-shoulder bodice paired with a flowing pastel pink skirt. The soft fabric brought a delicate, ethereal touch, while statement brooches at the neckline and split skirt added glamour. Her playful long wavy blonde hair with two buns and doll-like makeup perfectly complemented the ensemble, blending high-fashion elegance with youthful individuality.

Jessica’s look embodied the fluidity and form of Dullaert’s “V symbol of the sacred Feminine” collection. The designer described it as a celebration of people, focusing on cuts that mold to the body to embrace it, not claim it.

Jessica Minh Anh’s career as a trailblazing fashion show producer, combined with her transformative presence as a model, underscores her global appeal. The innovative, tech-savvy entrepreneur is set to stage another spectacular catwalk in Paris, rivaling her iconic productions on landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Grand Canyon Skywalk, JFK Airport, and the Hoover Dam.
