Nakaranas ng diskriminasyon anak ni Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano na si Kiana kasama ang ilan pang Pinay model at Pinoy designers sa Los Angeles Fashion Week.
Ito ay matapos silang pagbawalang rumampa sa opening show ng Lebanese at fashion designer na si Elie Madi.
Ayon sa ulat, nasa backstage na sina Kiana, dating Miss Earth tittle holder na si Janie Herrell at iba pang Pinay nang paalisin ang mga ito dahil sa direktiba umano ng organizers.
Sinasabing ayaw umano ng Art Hearts Fashion President na si Erik Rosete na may mga Pilipinang makikilahok sa naturang fashion show.
Dahil sa nangyari nag-walkout ang mga Pinay model at maging ang mga Pinoy international designers sa naturang event.
“The way you look should be the last thing on your mind when it comes to beauty.” – Kiana my daughter Walking on the ramp at LA FASHION WEEK would probably have been a check on my daughter’s bucket list as many know that she ran away from the call of showbiz for many years to sew and learn fashion design, even taking short courses in London to pursue her passion for fashion as she loved to draw dresses and gowns since she was little. This lady chose a sewing machine over more expensive, material presents as a must-have-gift as a teenager. To rob her of a dream-come-true opportunity was not nice at all. It was actually horrible. God bless the organizer nonetheless and I pray this never happens to his daughter, son, niece or nephew. We moved schedules and appointments to make it to this event. One model flew from Vegas. One drove three hours from San Diego. Rocky flew from Manila like us. Resty and Elie from Kuwait. #kianavalenciano #kiana #lafashionweek #jamieherell @kianavee @garyvalenciano @paolovalenciano @yosameti @gabvalenciano @forthestarsfashionhouse @verygathercole @eliemadi @coutureprince @rajolaurel @johnlozano10 @erikrosete A post shared by Angeli Pangilinan Valenciano (@angelipv) on
