Jessica described the dresses as “alluring, captivating, and very intriguing.”
She said she was particularly drawn to Asma Sultana’s modern take on the classic silhouettes that “perfectly accentuate a woman’s body.”
“Every piece is a work of art heavily influenced by modern craftsmanship. It compliments women’s beauty while showing off their individuality,” said the supermodel, and renowned fashion show producer, when speaking about her decision to showcase Asma Sultana’s collection.
“I cannot think of a better representative from Bangladesh and South Asia in this show,” Jessica added.
Zoan Ash, associated with popular Bangladeshi brand Ecstasy, was founded on November 1, 2015.
