Actress and fashion icon Heart Evangelista continues to make an impact on the international fashion scene, first appearing at Milan Fashion Week and later participating in Paris Fashion Week.
Heart walked for prominent brands, including Versace and Dolce & Gabbana, showcasing high-end luxury fashion. Her presence at these events has garnered attention not only from the fashion world but also from affluent Filipinos who closely follow her style choices. Reports suggest that some of her followers turn to online sellers to purchase similar items.
Heart’s influence on the luxury market extends beyond the Philippines. As awareness of these brands grows in other parts of Asia, her continued involvement in global fashion shows has contributed to her increasing number of endorsements.
Meanwhile, beauty queen Pia Wurtzbach also appeared at L’Oréal Paris Le Défilé. However, social media users quickly pointed out that Pia was not the first Filipina to walk the runway for the Paris-based beauty brand. Netizens noted that actress Leyna Bloom was actually the first Filipina to walk for L’Oréal, alongside Stephanie Valentine, also known as Glamzilla.
It is important to highlight these names, as many local celebrities are striving to break into a world that was once only a dream for many. In addition to Heart and Pia, who represent the Philippines in the global fashion arena, Anne Curtis, who attended Milan Fashion Week, and Maymay Entrata, Sarah Lahbati, and Max Collins, who attended Paris Fashion Week this year, are also making their mark.
