Last November 9, 2012 I attended the Furne Onè X Bench Launch at The Peninsula Manila. I'm really stunned with the collection! Beautiful, glamorous and very world-class! Grabe nganga lang ako the whole show haha. Feels like I'm in a world-class fashion show! I went their earlier when I'm supposed to be late, the show started 8-ish na. But the wait was all worth it. :)
Bench, being one of the country’s top retail brand, has always been known for tapping the best of the best in the industry. This year, a stellar collaboration with one of Dubai’s most prestigious designers, Furne Onè, is born. The early signs of Furne Onè’s creativity began at the age of 10. In 1994, he was rewarded in Mega Young Designers Competition, bringing the Filipino designer to the global fashion spotlight.
The face of Furne Onè’s scent for Bench is none other than Raina Hein of the 14th cycle of America’s Next Top Model. She was chosen as one of the 13 girls to compete in New York City for show and became known for her positive personality and unique look.
