BANGKOK — Prominent fashion influencers Heart Evangelista, Davika Hoorne, and Nattawin “Apo” Wattanagitiphat gathered last week at the WWD x Siam Piwat Global Fashion Spotlight in Bangkok to discuss the growing influence of Southeast Asian fashion.
Wattanagitiphat, whose presence at the Dior Spring 2025 show garnered significant attention, emphasized the meaning of influence in the fashion industry. “I believe that everybody knows the term ‘influence.’ It’s about pushing something forward, but for me, it’s about my experiences with global brands like Dior and Piaget,” he explained.
With a substantial following of 16 million on Instagram, Evangelista shared her perspective on influence, stating, “I feel like it’s an overall package. It’s more about the language of someone’s heart toward another heart that makes you influential.” The discussion highlighted the multifaceted nature of influence in fashion and its implications for the region’s growing presence on the global stage.
