Heart Evangelista named Global Fashion Icon, feels flattered yet pressured

Heart Evangelista expressed her feelings about being called a Global Fashion Icon during the press conference for her upcoming show 'Heart World', admitting she feels both flattered and pressured.

Evangelista mentioned that attending Paris Fashion Week was partly due to feeling pressure regarding ratings, emphasizing her desire not to have a set timeframe for career success.

She recently ranked first on Launchmetrics' list of Paris Fashion Week celebrities, contributing $10.6M in media impact value, highlighting the significance of this achievement for Filipinos and their country's recognition in luxury markets.

Evangelista also addressed how she views being the 'bida' (protagonist) of a show, noting that her goal is to make luxury clothes look relatable to normal people.

During the press conference, Evangelista reiterated that Fashion Week is still a job and stressed that her status in it took time and effort.

'Heart World' will premiere on GMA Network on Saturday, October 26 at 9 p.m., where she aims to present herself authentically without pretense.
