00:00Finally, I got my apartment in Paris.
00:08On our way!
00:10Yeah, we're in the car already on our way to the apartment.
00:15Welcome to my treehouse here in Paris.
00:18That's why I named it Treehouse because when I was a kid, it was my dream to have a treehouse.
00:27In Cavite when I was a kid, my dad had a farm there.
00:29And down there, we made a treehouse made out of banana leaves.
00:34My cousin and I would run around and shout,
00:36Solid Fetch! I'm back!
00:38And there were kids, I don't know who you are, but I remember you.
00:43You destroyed our treehouse.
00:45So I said, this is my treehouse in Paris.
00:49And no one wanted to help me.
00:51And that was fashion week.
00:53So can you imagine?
00:54The picture I have of me carrying a plant, that's it.
00:58She can really stop.
01:00The plant went home.
01:02Go girl!
01:04You can do it!
01:12All of my artworks are on the floor.
01:14Because I don't know anyone who can knock on walls.
01:18So all of my artworks,
01:20Jade and I,
01:22and my driver, Rolex,
01:24but there were times when I was alone,
01:26and I carried all of their artworks.
01:32One woman's show.
01:34I gotta put all of the clothes that we're gonna use for fashion week.
01:38All of the bags, all of the shoes.
01:40We're gonna line them up.
01:42The outfits that we already put together when I left.
01:44This one, I did myself too.
01:48So that we're not
01:54struggling mentally inside.
01:56But it's fulfilling because
01:58it's like I made my own hideaway place.
02:02My favorite spot in the house
02:04is this beautiful chair.
02:06This is from
02:08a Brazilian designer.
02:10The story was, they had a long distance relationship,
02:12and they would send each other
02:14stuffed toys, I love stuffed toys.
02:16And then, when they finally got married,
02:18they decided to bring all of their stuffed toys
02:20and create furniture.
02:22But this is a replica, or the idea,
02:24the concept of their love story.
02:26And I fell in love.
02:28Of course, because we take care of our inner child.
02:32Sometimes, that inner child gets lost.
02:34I really want to buy it.
02:36But it's so heavy.
02:38And then finally, when I got my apartment,
02:40that was the first thing I took.
02:42And then here, we have all of my fashion books,
02:44fashion items.
02:46And this one I got,
02:48this is actually,
02:50I'm going to put an umbrella.
02:52It's for Naceti, but it was just so beautiful
02:54that I had to have two.
02:56Shopping in thrift stores, that's what I like.
02:58It's like what you see in Emily in Paris.
03:00It's really affordable.
03:02So cute.
03:04Look at the clouds.
03:08What is your store called?
03:10L'Oiseau de Paradis.
03:12It's the oldest toy store in Paris.
03:14Oh, really?
03:16Since 1932, as you can see.
03:18This is so pretty.
03:20It's nice, huh?
03:22Cute.
03:24Right. Merci beaucoup.
03:26So, Camille, I got you your snowball.
03:28I did not forget.
03:30She's like,
03:32please don't forget.
03:34Why is that in clothing?
03:36When you have something you like at home,
03:38it doesn't have to be new.
03:41This one,
03:43this beautiful mirror,
03:45the first time,
03:47when I was looking for furniture,
03:49it was something that really caught my eye
03:51and I was so in love.
03:53But it was impossible for me to take it
03:55because I didn't know how to do it.
03:57I didn't know how to put it on,
03:59but we were able to have people to put it up
04:01and make it look nice.
04:03It's all about the final product,
04:05the final look,
04:07the personality.
04:09This is the Abubut store
04:11that I've been seeing.
04:15I'm overwhelmed.
04:17So many beautiful stuff.
04:19It's a mix of antiques
04:21and new,
04:23so it really depends what you like.
04:25But they have everything.
04:27If you see this one, it's so perfect.
04:29This one.
04:33This is so beautiful.
04:35Can you imagine you mix it with the Hermès?
04:39This one?
04:41Yes.
04:43It always has to be a pair, right?
04:45Yes.
04:47No, no, it's England.
04:49Everybody in England
04:51had a
04:53Cheminée?
04:55Yes.
04:57It's something
04:59that I'm very, very proud of.
05:01And now we're going to go upstairs.
05:09First is life.
05:11Pero doon, ibang usapan.
