There’s no slowing down for fashion icon and entrepreneur Heart Evangelista, who continues to cement her influence in the global fashion scene.
On Instagram, Heart once again proved her on-point sense of style as she shared a post by Paris-based photographer Juan Padilla, revealing an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at her first-ever collaboration with the renowned Italian design house Fornasetti.
The IG post showcased the elegant interiors of Casa Fornasetti in Milan, where Heart was photographed amid a luxurious and artistic setup featuring antique mirrors, sculptures, and signature art pieces that embody the timeless Fornasetti aesthetic.
According to Juan Padilla’s caption, the Heart x Fornasetti collection features a limited series of 200 plates, 100 cups, and 100 coasters—all hand-painted and designed to merge Filipino artistry with Italian surrealism. This marks the first time Fornasetti has ever collaborated with a celebrity, and the first occasion the brand opened its doors for an exclusive photoshoot.
The project was launched with the help of Opulence Design Concept and is being described as a historic milestone in the world of fashion and art collaborations—celebrating cultural fusion and creative innovation.
With her back-to-back projects, from international fashion weeks to exclusive partnerships, Heart continues to be one of the Philippines’ most prominent ambassadors in global fashion—effortlessly blending sophistication, creativity, and national pride.

Meanwhile, Heart’s Paraiba Tourmaline ring remains a hot topic among jewelry enthusiasts and fashion fans. The striking piece, which went viral after netizens estimated its value to be over ₱56 million, has since been clarified by jewelry experts to be worth much less.
According to jeweler Kei Chan, the gemstone’s price was “overestimated” by netizens, likely due to Heart’s strong influence as a trendsetter. “In reality, the ring’s value is more than a million pesos—but not anywhere near 56 million,” Chan explained.
Still, the buzz surrounding the accessory only reinforces Heart Evangelista’s impact as an effective fashion endorser—proving that anything she wears instantly looks high-value and coveted.
