.Amato Couture is a Dubai-based fashion house known for its avant-garde and theatrical approach to haute couture. The brand was founded in 2002 by Filipino designer Furne One, in partnership with textile expert Rashid Ali. Amato, which means "beloved" in Italian, has earned a global reputation for creating intricate, opulent, and dramatic garments that are often described as wearable art.
Amato's signature style is defined by its use of lavish materials and complex, handmade embellishment techniques. Furne One's designs frequently feature a blend of fantasy, romance, and edginess, drawing inspiration from a wide range of sources, including nature, history, and mythology.
The brand's aesthetic is not for the "faint-hearted woman," but for one who is confident and desires to make a bold statement.
A-list clients include, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, Shakira, Heidi Klum.
