If there’s one thing that Amato does well, it’s throw a good show. In
the region’s capital of all things grandiose, showmanship was
surprisingly absent from the Fashion Forward Season 2 runways. Cue Furne
One, the UAE’s most successful red carpet designer.
What Furne One understood early in his career was the power of
creating and visually representing a clear storyline. Last season, he
created his own video projections which showcased a bleeding gothic
muse. This season, he featured two quintessential feminine images: the
spoiled and lavish Marie Antoinette and the demure and phantasmagorical
geisha merged into one being, journeying down the catwalk and through
scaffolding. Meters and meters of tulle, lace, and silk made for a
heavily produced collection. Stiff, sculpted powdered hair and huge
poufs sprayed in orange, green, and pink were matched with obi belts
cradling a basket or a teddy bear. White leg warmers met ruff collars
and pieces of high jewelry. The clothes were all presented in macaroon
hues or immaculate white.
Furne One’s inspiration was a complicated one to execute, but it was
accomplished with artistry and reminded of the styling creativity of
Tokyo’s Harajuku girls. The dresses were all fitted and embellished to
the maximum and we expect that each will find a happy client hungry for
intricate design (although the dresses will likely be sold without the
accompanying ornaments). At this stage, we knew that Furne One could
create show-stopping pieces—the intricacy here was in cohesively merging
his ideas into a single collection. A strong conclusion to a Fashion
Forward season marked by designers lacking focus, bravura, and, for the
most part, a skillful studio.
