Dubai-based Filipino fashion designer Furne One of Amato Haute Couture made waves in the international fashion scene anew when his creations were recently worn by top female pop performers Jennifer Lopez and Katy Perry.
According to posts on Amato Couture’s Facebook page on June 13, Lopez wore a sparkly short dress by Amato while performing her hits “On the Floor” and “I’m Into You” during the Capital FM Summertime Ball 2011. According to the official website of Capital FM – dubbed as "the UK’s #1 hit music station” – the annual music fest was held on June 12 at London’s famed Wembley Stadium.
On the other hand, Perry has, on numerous occasions, wore colorful Amato creations in her performances during her “California Dreams Tour 2011,” which began in February this year and will run until November. The tour covers countries in Europe, Australasia, Asia, and the North and South America.
Perry was also seen in an Amato mini dress when she presented an award in Australia’s 2011 TV Week Logie Awards held on May 1.
According to Amato’s official website, One’s brand “caters exclusively to an elite Arab clientele.” But despite this exclusive clientele, Hollywood and equally fashionable circles in Europe obviously can't ignore One's amazing creations.
More from the website, the designer credits his popularity across the international fashion scene to supermodel and “Germany’s Next Top Model” host Heidi Klum. This is after Klum first invited him in 2009 to create the gowns worn by the 18 finalists in one of the show’s episodes, garnering One “assignments from well-known European celebrities” that had him working in Europe for some time.
This year, One was once again invited to design for “Germany’s Next Top Model,” as seen in photos posted also on June 13 on Amato’s Facebook page.
Perhaps One’s most talked-about show locally was the "First of One—A Fashion Collection by Furne One" in October last year where, according to a report posted on Spot.ph in the same month, a number of models slipped as they walked on a slippery runway. It was reportedly even called by some of the show’s guests as the “fall” collection. Nevertheless, the show was praised by personalities such as Tim Yap and Rajo Laurel.
