It’s pretty obvious we’re big fans of Jessica Minh Anh. Her fashion shows are one-of-a-kind—she presents collections from emerging talent in some of the most famous and unexpected locations in the world. She’s held runway shows at the Eiffel Tower, London’s Tower Bridge, One World Trade Center (before it opened!) and even over the Grand Canyon. Basically NYFW has nothing on her. For her 10th presentation on July 17, Anh will be showing at Gemasolar, an award-winning solar power plant in Seville, Spain.

If this seems a little out of place, it is. Anh has held shows at some of the most unconventional venues in the world, but every locale up until now has been chic, well-known and definitely not a power plant in the middle of the desert. But Anh has an agenda. This season, not only is the model-turned-entrepreneur looking to showcase some of the best international up-and-comers, but also intends to highlight the “best of advanced technology and environment preservation.”

"It is an honor to host Jessica Minh Anh’s Summer Fashion Show at Gemasolar and to be included in her series of fashion events at the world’s most iconic venues,” said Raul Mendoza Ruiz, Gemasolar Plant Manager, Torresol Energy. “Gemasolar is an international symbol of the next generation of power plants and represents the future, just as Jessica does in fashion. We look forward to fascinating the world with a mixture of high technology and high fashion in this particular project.”

“Gemasolar took my breath away. It represents a rare modern beauty, which sees the best of designs and sustainability efforts in one place. I would consider this show my most challenging yet exciting project so far,” said Jessica Minh Anh. The 328-foot catwalk will be set up in the middle of the plant, against a backdrop of the central tower and hundreds of glittering solar panels.
