With her dynamic debut in Milan and Paris Fashion Week, Pia Wurtzbach seems like a natural fit in Europe’s fashion capitals. However, in a revelation by her husband Jeremy Jauncey, her goals also had its fair share of naysayers.

In a recent Instagram post, Pia’s Scottish-Colombian husband shared an inspiring caption about Pia’s quest to break through the European fashion scene, accompanied by a photo of the beauty queen in Paris Fashion Week.
Jeremy’s message, which began with a rousing reference to pushing against the odds, discussed the three-year journey of the Preview Best Dressed 2023 honoree.
“You told me you wanted to break into European fashion–but we had no network, no opportunities and no credibility,” Jeremy wrote.
“I’ve been with you as you worked every angle, took every meeting, trusted many who promised so much and delivered so little. Setback after setback on a journey that only we knew about. But quietly, under the radar, you grinded. And grinded. And grinded.”
The caption then alluded to figures who have cast doubt on the beauty queen’s fashion week goals.
“And despite even as early as this year [of] being told you’d never make it to fashion weeks and your best years were behind you, you did. And you delivered. To a level even we didn’t hope for in our wildest dreams.”
Jeremy capped off the post on a heartfelt note. “So whilst social media only shows the glitz & the glamour, never forget that every story starts somewhere… and I know how far away this story started for you. I’m so proud of you @piawurtzbach”
Pia’s fashion week journey was definitely not for naught. A recent study by two international marketing agencies named the beauty queen as the second-highest ranking celebrity in Milan Fashion Week, generating $3.4 million (approximately P192 million) in media impact value.
