ANO kaya ang masasabi ni Kris Aquino sa napaulat na pahayag ng Crazy Rich Asians author na si Kevin Kwan na mas akma raw kay Heart Evangelista ang titulo kaysa kay Kris?
Kevin traveled to Paris to meet Asian style icons during the Paris Fashion Week for Harper’s Bazaar US. Among the fashion influencers featured is Filipina Heart Evangelista.
In a video uploaded by the fashion magazine titled These are the Real Crazy Rich Asians, Kevin shared the story of various Asian women who help shape the fashion world “one couture at a time”.
“Heart Evangelista, she’s really the darling of the Philippines. She is one of the most acclaimed actresses. She’s also a really gifted artist. She had amazing shows of her paintings in the Philippines,” paglalarawan ni Kevin sa video kung saan napanood si Heart .
Sa nasabing video feature, Heart shared her passion for fashion. “When I went to Paris, I got this dress for me. When you got a kid it’s something you share and pass on. I’m a collector. I love collecting bags. Birkins (bag) specifically, and Kelly. It’s a really good investment,” pahayag ni Heart .
Heart also shared the story to Kevin on how she started painting on bags. “I have a lizard skin Birkin and it was orange and I was eating French fries at Chili’s and they have cheese. I did not notice that it was already under my bag when I brought it home. I tried to clean it and asked around but they said it was impossible to fix so that’s why I painted on it and I loved it,” ayon kay Heart .
Heart took to Instagram to express her gratitude to Kevin and the Harper’s Bazaar team for inviting her to grace the video.
“I am beyond grateful to Kevin and the entire Harper’s team for being such a dream to work with! I’m so incredibly proud of this project and would love for you to see it too,” post ni Heart sa Instagram.
