Front row seats at the Amato Couture show at Dubai Fashion Week should come with a warning, one similar to those to people who sit in the emergency aisles of airplanes - be prepared because at any minute you may be in the line of fire. In this case that line was the catwalk which Furne One's genius creative mind transformed the runway into a colosseum, where models became gladiator queens stomping to the death.
Not in the wildest dreams of Lady Gaga and Scarlett O'Hara could anyone but Amato Couture's Furne One create a more beautiful and breathtaking 33 piece collection. Neck braces and support backs were seen on the runway along with the Elizabethan inspired haute couture gowns.
The show which was titled, "I'm the Queen" was a masterpiece and fluid combination of design, haute couture and theatrics - a show that would truly be at home at Paris Fashion Week.
Congratulations to Amato Couture for putting on an incredible grand finale to Dubai Fashion Week.

I'm beyond excited to announce the launch of Rolling Stones Middle East edition. Rolling Stone magazine is synonymous with music and entertainment, no other magazine comes close to producing iconic covers and stories.
Rolling Stone Middle East will be distributed regionally with 50-60% of the content being local. The UAE is becoming a hotspot for rockstar concerts, this year alone the UAE has and will see such acts as Kanye West, Prince, David Guetta and Mark Ronson. Mohammed Abdullah, Managing Director, Media Cluster–TECOM Investments welcomed the new magazine and said that "with approximately 55 per cent of the Arab regional population under the age of 25, there are clearly immense opportunities for media companies to tap into this segment.”
Waref Hawasli, Managing Partner of HGW Media, said: “We are excited to be introducing Rolling Stone Middle East to the market. We feel this prestigious title can speak to multiple audiences through a shared appreciation for music, culture and current affairs.”
We think that Rolling Stones Middle East will be a great addition to music in the region and hopefully show us local creative up and coming talent.
Well done HGW Media, fantastic move!
Rock on.

Ferrari F430 Spider from Dubai - matte black and parked outside of Harvey Nichols Dubai. Heaven.
Nothing makes us happier than receiving a Lamis Khamis package in the post. The pink parcel came from Spoiledbrat.co.uk, the content, a highly coveted Lamis Khamis suede fringed waistcoat that when worn can bring one into a state of euphoria or at least make the perfect LES (lower east side) addition to your outfit.
Of course, as soon as the Lamis khamis waistcoat reached our hands we had to do an impromptu photoshoot which resulted in some Shoreditch meets Khaleej wonderfulness. Get ready to see us in this waistcoast everywhere, we may not have many outdoor concerts in the Emirates but you can count on us being festival-ready faster than you can say a new mall has just opened up in the UAE.
Lamis Khamis is available to buy in Lebanon, the UAE and online (see www.annamiriam.com/directory/l)
