The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 is officially opened. Today the show week was heralded with a ceremony in the town hall of Basel, a tram corso to the exhibition center, the walk of all participating acts over the turquoise carpet and the subsequent opening party. JJ: “My first week in Basel has passed like a flight. For me, the opening party is certainly a very special highlight – since we are divided into two Semifinali, this is actually the only moment when all participating artists really come together and celebrate the ESC2025 together.”
JJ wore a creation of the Austrian designer Jennifer Miller on the turquoise carpet. “For JJ’s Turquoise-Carpet appearance, I designed a suit with a clear design language and special details: a jacket with striking shoulders, combined with extra-wide, voluminous 3D pants. Paper boats stretch across the entire outfit and take up the visual language of the music videos Wasted Love. I love to create portable art with expressive cutting techniques. This project was a great opportunity to implement these ideas. ” Photo from the Opening Ceremony can be called up at press.orf.at.
