Those who are still doubting the status of Kapuso Queen of Creative Collaborations Heart Evangelista as a fashion influencer, they only have to look at her following on Instagram to quash their doubts. The latest big fashion name to follow her is none other than the inventor of the wrap dress herself, designer Diane von Furstenberg.
In a post on her Instagram account celebrating her birthday month, Heart shared a photo of herself blowing out Chanel candles. But aside from the designer candles, another thing that drew attention is a comment by the @dvf account of two birthday cake emojis. @dvf is the Instagram handle of Diane von Furstenberg.
For her part, Heart replied to Diane's comment with three heart emojis.

Diane von Furstenberg left an indelible mark in fashion history when she introduced the wrap dress to the world back in 1974. By 1976, she had already sold a million of those dresses and by 1979 was reporting annual sales above $150 million.
Diane von Furstenberg is just the latest of important fashion names that now have a connection with Heart. Just yesterday, Heart unboxed a box of treats from Vogue and thanked its international editor at large, Hamish Bowles.
Among other things, the fashion magazine sent Heart a fragrance from Chopard's Haute Parfumerie that retails for anywhere from P11,000 to P13,000 and an Hermès lipstick.
Maria Grazia Chiuri, Dior's current creative director, also sent Heart a sweet note and a bouquet of flowers as a thank you for her attendance at the Dior Haute Couture SS22 show. Heart has also been name-checked on the official Dior Twitter account.
Designer Christian Louboutin and Hermès Group Head of External Relations Michael Coste also met up with Heart in Paris while she attended Fashion Week in the city.
