Ever
since her first brush with fashion in 2002, Joanna Koh has
established herself regionally as a versatile, experienced
and sought-after model in the fields of runway, photo shoots
and modeling competitions. She boasts the perfect package
of edgy oriental beauty, spunky personality and impressive
credentials.
A
towering presence on the runway, Joanna specializes in
fashion shows. She has graced the runways of Singapore
Fashion Festival, Jewelfest Singapore, Francis Cheong, Blanc
Pain, Roger Dubuis, Furla, Cortifiel, Pedro di Hierro and
Mumbai Se amongst other local and international designer
brands. In 2007, she was accorded the honor of opening the
Singapore Fashion Week Gala Dinner show for local designer

Her
expertise in runway has not only been recognized locally.
She was personally selected to walk as an international
model, Singapore’s sole representative, for Jakarta Fashion
Festival’s opening and main shows. In addition, she was
featured in Harpers Bazaar Indonesia.
Joanna
is not to be outdone in photo shoots either. She has
appeared in a variety of spreads for local and international
magazines like Playeur, Maxim, Shape, Her World, Elle,

On the
competition front, she has been selected to take part in
international contests like Miss Model of the World ’04

Not
content to simply be in front of the lens and audiences, she
is keen to share her experiences with aspiring models. In

Singapore, training the contestants in modeling and
creating 4 fashion shows and the grand coronation night. She
also offers deportment and basic modeling courses.
