AMATO – AN INTIMATE LOOK INTO THE MIND OF FURNE ONE
It is not very often that I am impressed or inspired by local designers. But when I discovered Furne One, it was like finding a rose in a frozen pond. The designs were so courageous; especially for the humdrum landscape of California fashion. My first reaction was “this designer LOVES the art of creating fashion without any apologies.” You are going to love it!
J.M. What does Furne One mean?
AVANT GARDE
J.M. How did Furne One come into existence? Where did it all begin?
IT ALL BEGAN WHEN RELUCTANTLY AND ALMOST HALF HEARTEDLY JOINED A PRESTIGIOUS DESIGNING COMPETITION AND ENDED UP BEING THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER. UP UNTIL THEN, I WAS JUST FEELING MY WAY THROUGH, SO TO SPEAK. BUT WHEN I WON I FELT THAT WAS DESTINY’S WAY OF POINTING OUT THE EXACT DIRECTION TO TAKE.
J.M. Tell me about your childhood. What kind of kid were you?
I CAN SIMPLY SAY I AM A DREAMER.
J.M. Your designs are very courageous and yet super sexy. What females in history get your juices flowing?
