In recent years, she has staged -- and starred in -- large-scale productions at the Eiffel Tower and London's Tower Bridge, along with the new One World Trade Center building in New York and a glass bridge 4,000 ft above the Grand Canyon. Her shows feature the collections of lesser known fashion designers from around the world (recent collaborators include emerging Lebanese brand Rouba.G and Peruvian designer Ani Álvarez Calderón), and involve as many as 50 models and crew members.

"I believe the most exquisite designs should be showcased at the best locations," she says. "I constantly search for the most unique venues that will amaze the world."

Anh's next show -- set on a glass boat on Paris' River Seine to create the illusion of models walking on water -- takes place on 29 October. CNN caught up with her before the show to discover the motivation behind her stylish stunts.
