HEART TO HEART

Fashion darling Heart Evangelista and editor-in-chief Kenneth Goh have a wide-ranging tête-à-tête about Asian presence on the global stage and the power of solidarity.

Heart Evangelista needs no introduction at this point, but here it is anyway. In this age of cliched representations of Crazy Rich Asians, she is the real deal—and a true multihyphenate to boot. A child star turned household-name actress in her native Philippines, Evangelista is also an haute couture client and a global influencer who sparks a street-style frenzy whenever she hits up Fashion Week. Not only does she can serve it up from various perspectives. In a parallel manner, so too does our editor-in-chief, Kenneth Goh, who started out a stylist in the golden age of print, and along the way has become an arbiter, overseer and the thoroughline in the fragmented, multi-channel landscape that the fashion media industry has become. Here, the both of them dive deep into a conversation about their beginnings in fashion, how they’ve seen the industry change, and the amount of thought and, yes, heart they put into the way they navigate the new world order of fashion.
