Furne One and Amato capped another glamorous season of Fashion Forward with a spectacular display of couture magic at his finale show entitled Love is a Battlefield.

‘Love is a Battlefield’ showcased a stunning panorama of the fictional world of Anna Karenina, a woman so devotedly in love, captured so elegantly in a collection that gives couture a refreshing twist with the use of denim and intricate beadwork that has become symbolic of the Amato brand.

In yet another jam-packed show, Furne One mesmerised the audience consisting of Dubai’s most fashionable set, with a 40-piece ensemble that showed his revisionist view of high fashion.

Who would have thought of using denim as fabric and pins for a couture show? With his vaunted creative flair, One’s collection wowed a visibly intrigued audience, with his masterful use of denim, lace and pins shaped into intricate forms of flowers and birds.

“We took a great risk using denim for a couture show, but I’m glad we were able to pull it off. We hope this puts denim in a new light, in the spirit of Amato’s tradition of breaking conventional aesthetics or definitions of what couture is all about,” said Furne One, creative director and founder of Amato.

With his latest collection under his label Amato, One gave couture another impressive twist, proving he is the master of design sophistication and dramatic creations truly deserving of the honour of closing Dubai’s pre-eminent fashion show.

Since FFWD started, Furne One has always been the finale show, a recognition of Furne One’s standing as the premier designer among regional fashion czars that have placed Dubai firmly on the global fashion scene.
