Looking to Marie Antoinette for Inspiration
Los Angeles Fashion Week is always filled with a few quirky displays of creativity to accent a look or make an artistic statement.
Case in point were the wild wigs and their artistic toppings that Furne One coupled with his super-rich gowns that flowed down the runway Oct. 16 at the former St. Vibiana Cathedral in downtown Los Angeles, where the talents of Philippine designers and artists were center stage.
One must have been channeling Marie Antoinette when he thought of attiring his models with white wigs the consistency of cotton candy and then topping them with white cutouts of bicycles, bicycle riders, birds, guitars and other images. Maybe as a precaution to ensure the whole ensemble stayed put, he wrapped the models' heads and their wigs in nylon mesh.
The wigs were only one extravagant element in One's collection of evening gowns dripping in crystals and sequins. These days, One lives in Dubai, where his gowns surely are a hit in theMiddle East.
