Interview with Furne One of Amato Haute Couture, Part 1 of 3

Hello Furne

How are you?
I AM FINE. THINGS ARE VERY GOOD. THANKS FOR ASKING. HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH YOU TOO.

Where were you born?
I WAS BORN IN THE PHILIPPINES. IN CEBU TO BE EXACT. CURRENTLY I AM BASED HERE IN DUBAI.

What languages can you speak?
I SPEAK AND WRITE FLUENTLY IN ENGLISH, I ALSO DO SPEAK OUR LANGUAGE WHICH IS CEBUANO AND TAGALOG.

How would you describe yourself?
I GUESS SIMPLE, DOWN TO EARTH AND HARD WORKING. A PERSON FULL OF LIFE, GOALS AND AMBITION.

Who or What sparked your love for fashion and when did you realize you wanted to become a fashion designer?
I HAD ALWAYS WANTED TO WORK IN FASHION. WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY I USE TO MARVEL AT MY MOTHER’S AND GRANDMA’S FABULOUS PARTY OUTFITS. I ALREADY KNEW WHAT I WANTED TO BE WHEN I HIT MY TEENS.

What school or place helped you to develop your talents?
BASICALLY I HAD ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN BEAUTIFUL CLOTHES. ADDITIONALLY, I’VE FELT THAT MY INTERESTS AND SKILLS ALL TRANSLATED INTO FASHION. BUT I GUESS THE BIGGEST FACTOR THAT LED ME TO DECIDE TO PURSUE A DESIGNING CAREER, WAS WHEN I 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 IT WAS DESTINY’S WAY OF POINTING OUT THE EXACT DIRECTION I HAD TO TAKE.

What do you remember about the day you presented your debut collection?
OVERWHELMING, IT’S A DREAM COME TRUE FOR ANY DESIGNER TO DEBUT HIS/HER OWN COLLECTION.

What do you enjoy the most about designing?
WHAT I ENJOY MOST ABOUT DESIGNING IS THE CREATIVE PROCESS. IT’S KIND OF LIKE A JOURNEY WHEREIN YOU HAVE NO SPECIFIC DESTINATION IN MIND. YOU TAKE IN THE SIGHTS AND YOU ENJOY THE RIDE, KNOWING THAT YOU’LL ULTIMATELY ARRIVE AT A PLACE THAT’S BOTH FABULOUS AND EXCITING.

Where does your inspiration come from?

I DRAW INSPIRATION FROM A VARIETY OF UNLIKELY SOURCES RANGING FROM MUSIC, CINEMA, GOTHIC ART, VINTAGE PIECES, AND COSMIC MYSTICISM. INTELLIGENT CONVERSATION WITH INTERESTING PEOPLE ALSO FIRES UP MY IMAGINATION.
