Vietnamese model, Jessica Minh Anh, continues her quest to hold fashion shows at iconic locations. After erecting runways in places like the Grand Canyon and the Petronas Towers, Anh held a multicultural fashion event at New York’s recently opened One World Trade Center, the tallest building in the Western hemisphere.

Anh, founder of J Model Management, organized the fashion show on June 25 on the 63rd floor of the recently opened tower, using the city’s famous skyline as a backdrop for the show.

When asked why she selected this location, Anh said: “One World Trade Center represents determination, innovation, and ambition, which are the qualities I stand for as a young entrepreneur. Similar to the Tower, I strongly believe you’ve got to dig deep to rise high.”

The display included designers from the Philippines, Russia, Peru, India and Indonesia.

Perhaps the Bitexco Tower’s helipad would be a good fit for her next show. It’s not like any helicopters will be using it anytime soon…
