Hi Everyone,
Thank you for the introduction Alexis.
I am the executive producer and founder of Art Hearts Fashion & Designer for the brand Mister Triple X. The opener for my first big show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week went on to become the first every Filipino Victorias Secret Model.

The story you ran is one sided and false based off of the lies of one person a crook and a lier that was collecting money on the side and trying to use our event for his own personal agenda! He owes us over $100,000 from past shows, and tried to collect side money from the event, and we made the decision to cut his show. None of the girls walked out.
The story you ran is one sided and false based off of the lies of one person.
Not only does Jacob "the person that ran the story" owe us thousands of dollars, but he tried to bring in his own hair and makeup team and pocket money on the side from designers and sponsors. Complete crook!
I feel horrible for the lovely young girls and you can ask any of them, I went back to them and spoke to them about finding a solution. I could not contractually have any additional hair and makeup teams backstage and not only was Jacob fully sponsored by us but he owes us over 100,000 USD.
This had nothing to do with race, color or gender. This had to do with the fact that he is a crook and a liar. The girls did not walk out, they waited patiently and even got my number so we could try to solve the situation. He was collecting money from designers, sponsors and models on the side and trying to run a side business from our production, all while telling us he would pay us "one day"
I apologize for any mis communication, but I do not want to be treated unfairly. I not only helped create the first ever Filipino Victorias secret model, but also had her as the opener to my big debut at New York Fashion Week.
You can contact any of the models I have ever worked with, or even the girls that were there. I did my best to salvage the situation, and Jacob pulled a nasty move and tried to tarnish what we have worked so hard to build but trying to publish false stories.
Our platform is built on inclusion!

We are #1 on forbes, yahoo and people magazine for inclusion. This had nothing to do with anything other than the fact that his crook!
He tried to throw us under the bus, the girls did not walk out, they waited as I tried to help them. Eventually
I cancelled the show because he did not respect us as a production and was pocketing money on the side. DISGUSTING! The poor girls waited there all night and I even gave them my cell phone number to try to find a solution and have them involved.
You can call me any time 1.310.467.1890 to verify and anyone interviewed as a hair or makeup person not only was not hired by us, but probably paid Jacob on the side, and thats why they were so upset and tried to make this about something it was not.
Please google Art Hearts Fashion so that you can see what we stand for.
P.S. Designers Danny Nguyen, Kenneth Barlis, and half of my team are all filipino.
This was a bitter nasty mans attempt to ruin something special. Not only did it not work, but it painted a very clear picture to everyone what a complete scam artist and dishonest person he is. He owes us money, and stole on the side. NOT OK
Sincerely,
Erik Rosete
