Kim Atienza could not help but be in awe of his daughter Emmanuelle as she walked the runway of a recently held local fashion show—a modeling activity that he dreamed of as a young man but “was not able to realize.”
The TV host showed moments from Emmanuelle’s rehearsals to the actual event, revealing that he also dreamed of being a ramp model, as per his Instagram page yesterday, Oct. 5.
“In the [1980s], I always wanted to be a ramp model and went to many go-sees only to be rejected for lack of height. I am so proud of my little [Emmanuelle] who rocked the runway for [Bench Fashion Week 2022] last weekend,” he said.
“You go brave girl!” he told his 16-year-old daughter. “Fly high and achieve the dreams your papa wasn’t able to realize in his youth.”
Emmanuelle also gave a glimpse of the said fashion event and expressed gratitude for being part of it, through her Instagram page as well.
Emmanuelle is one of Kim’s children with his wife Felicia, who also include Jose and Eliana. Last July, Emmanuelle proved that she’s not one to get affected by unsolicited comments by showing off her body in response to netizens saying her photos were too “revealing.” /ra
