Down the rabbit hole, there are things the imagination couldn’t even comprehend.
It’s crazy what 30 years can do, especially to one’s definition of the self. But for Furne One, spending all that time in fashion has made him strive to keep his identity as a designer intact, no matter how drastically the world changes around him. And that for him is the secret to building a successful brand. “There are so many innovations and reinventions over the years, but I remain true to my core,” he says.
With that kind of unwavering confidence in one’s craft, One is just unstoppable. He describes his design ideology as about pushing the limits, something that comes naturally to him. This is evident in the name he has engraved in the face of the fashion industry for many years now. “I always challenge myself to create better designs and concepts that are close to my heart but at the same time mindblowing,” One says.
If there’s anything artists can’t live without, it’s an inspiration. One’s creative process solely lies on being inspired by the things he surrounds himself with, even in the most random and unexpected circumstances. It may be a long dinner conversation with a friend, a song that buzzes through the walls, or a TV show that just happens to be on—One just knows it’s the inspiration when something feels real. Nothing can be a better source than that.
