Amato by Furne One - Fashion Forward Season 5

Imagine a show that unravels into a theatrical array of crystals, top hats, goth and denim...

This was the total feel of the last show for the fifth season of Fashion Forward Dubai. Filipino designer, Furne One showcased his newest collection inspired by the goth of the black and white theatre, the Steam-punk era, the femininity of crystals and the versatility of denim. Yes, you read it right - it featured couture pieces in denim. 

When the show started, I was confused on the material being used by Amato this season. Until the denim hit me hard and I was at awe. Denim is not an easy material to handle and to have these designs plus the couture work into it is just perfection. 

A powerful woman opened a show in a 2 piece denim suit, embellished with crystals and bead with a very interesting front pattern. 

I dont know if it was how the denim was made or some were acid washed but the total aesthetic was achieved ans spot on: Steam-punk meets Gothic Haute Couture. 

This one is my favorite piece as the red crystals definitely shined on the denim. The cut of the dress was also elegant and very feminine.  

Amato never gave in into the extravagant and loud cuts and fabrics. The focus was on the the intricate details that were beyond words to explain. Crystals and beads that were arranged in a way that you never thought was possible with the help of common sewing materials. 

Crystals and shiny beads accentuate the denim pieces that bought then to the highest place ever:
FASHION HEAVEN

Furne One's vision and creativity has never failed audiences around the world. Its workmanship and its uniqueness has gained him attention not just in the fashion industry but as well as the music and movie industry. 

Lights dimmed and the moon turned red when the final model walked out. Everyone was blown-away by the sparkling red details of the dress contrasting the hard acid washed denim made into a beautiful, fantasy-like ensemble. 

Amato's theatrics and over-all aesthetic has always been spot on and very modern. Though his references were mostly unimaginable, he never fails to interpret them in his signature way: Haute Couture. 

Amato by Furne One has always been a name associated with the fabulous Fashion Forward and will never cease to be greater and bigger. 

Three words: Unimaginable - Mesmerizing - Amato.
