She has also organised runways at London’s Tower Bridge, the Seine in Paris, and One World Trade Center in New York City. Minh also models in all the shows she produces.

Jessica Minh Anh said, “Syeda Amera’s work is very intriguing. Her intricate floor-length dresses with bold colours and off-the-shoulder necklines truly flatter a woman’s body. At the same time, I believe Syeda Amera herself embodies the image of a modern, strong, and confident woman. I cannot think of a better representative for South Asia in the show”.

Amera, known for her crystal-studded dresses, will show her latest S/S 2016 collection at J Spring Fashion Show. She will be joined by five other designers are showing, including Elie Saab’s protégé Jad Ghandour, Lebanese talent Rouba.G, Romanian brand Chotronette, and Australia’s very own brand Begitta, as well as a ready-to-wear collection by Beverley Riverina of BlackHills, New Zealand.
