Heart Evangelista gives tour of her Paris apartment

Heart Evangelista just showed a glimpse of her apartment in Paris, France!

In the latest episode of "Heart World" on Saturday, the Global Fashion Icon talked about her life in the Paris fashion scene and shared some details about her two-bedroom apartment in the City of Love.

"Lahat tayo may happy place and para sa akin ang happy place, sad place na naging happy place ko ay Paris," Heart said.

According to Heart, she bought the property because she always dreamt of having an apartment in Paris.

"Binili ko siya, I think few years ago. Pangarap ko talagang magkaroon ng apartment sa Paris. Akala ko talaga imposible, pero ang imposible naging posible dahil may pinagdadaanan akong medyo mabigat noong panahon na 'yan," she said.

"It was a time in my life na kailangan kong patunayan sa sarili ko na kaya kong tumayo na mag-isa, na kaya kong mag-isa," Heart continued, adding that she had to sell some of her jewelry and do commissioned paintings to buy the apartment.

Some of the items inside her Paris apartment, which she called "tree house," are her own paintings and artworks, a photo of her beloved dog Panda, her favorite anik-anik items and stuffed toys from her childhood, plants, and a special sketch from her stepdaughter Chesi.

"Kaya ko talaga siya pinanagalanang 'tree house' kasi noong bata ako, dream talaga namin magkaroon ng tree house. Sa Cavite, noong bata ako, may farm doon 'yung daddy ko, tapos sa baba mayroon kaming ginawang tree house out of banana leaves," she said.

Despite living in France, Heart said she still brought her Filipino roots with her items from her home in the Philippines, and some Filipino delicacies such as pancit canton, cornick, dahon ng laurel, chicharon and corned beef, among others.

She also gave a tour of her walk-in closet that consists of clothes from Filipino designers.

"Iyong mga designer dito sa Pilipinas, hindi lang sila nabibigyan ng pagkakataon, so I try to bring as much as I can sa Paris at doon ko sila ini-store. Para kapag mayroon akong moment na biglang nag-open para sa akin, ang first priority ko talaga is suotin ang mga Pinoy na designers," Heart said.

As someone who has been going to the city several times a year to attend events such as Paris Fashion Week, Heart said that her apartment is a big help for her and her team.

"The apartment that time noong pumunta pa akong Paris, wala pa akong sponsorship sa mga hotels so talagang malaking tipid siya sa team ko," she said.

Heart previously strutted the Paris Fashion Week and was named top celebrity at the fashion event after delivering a whopping $10.6M in media impact value (MIV) after appearing at high-profile shows including Louis Vuitton, Dior, Balmain, Elie Saab, Schiaparelli, and more.

She was also recognized as among the Top 10 influencers of Paris Fashion Week by influencer marketing platform Lefty.

"Heart World" airs on GMA Network on Saturdays at 9:30 p.m. after "Magpakailanman."
