Marian Rivera at her first Milan Fashion Week. Photo courtesy of KIKO Milano
From Manila to Italy’s fashion capital, the actress gives us a glimpse into her first Milan Fashion Week with KIKO Milano
“Hindi rin kasi ako masyadong makapaniwala, dahil parang sabi ko, ‘Hindi ko maiisip na mangyayari ito sa buhay ko,’” says the actress upon the realization that having fashion week-related activities will be a part of her repertoire. (I have a hard time believing it [at first] because I told myself, ‘I really did not expect this to happen to me.’)
It may be surreal to Rivera, but the 40-year-old, in her first time at Milan Fashion Week made it through a day where she attended N°21 and a Vogue 60 exhibit. The actress also confesses that bringing her “lucky charm” husband Dingdong Dantes was a blessing, giving her strength to hop from one engagement to another.
Another first was meeting the CEO of KIKO Milano, Simone Dominici where they had dinner right across the Duomo di Milano. In this exclusive photo diary, Rivera gives us an intimate glimpse into an entire day she spent in Milan.
