In celebration of Earth Day this month, Augustman Malaysia brings to your attention notable individuals and brands who are doing their part to help make a difference to the world we call home by integrating sustainable practices and eco-friendly materials into their day-to-day businesses and specialised crafts. Above all, we are pleased to announce the seventh cycle of The A-List to join the Augustman community. In celebration of the much-anticipated release of acclaimed filmmaker, not to mention Augustman’s Men of the Year laureate, Adrian Teh’s action-thriller masterpiece The Assistant, we’ve reached out to the film’s co-star Henley Hii for our April/May 2022 cover story.

Movement is medicine, a concept attributed to Hippocrates in 400 BC, highlights how being active leads to healthier muscles, improving our overall well-being, including our mental health. Adapting to a changing world is key to success, allowing us to thrive.
Recently, I joined Augustman Malaysia, responding to an invitation from editor-in-chief Farhan Shah to manage the Malaysian edition of a men’s lifestyle magazine that I have long admired. I take great pride in leading an all-women’s team for a men's magazine, reflecting the changing times. This issue serves as a reminder of how consistent movement benefits us.
Our cover personality, actor and model Meerqeen, champions the power of sports and aims to create community events for Malaysians to enjoy its benefits. Travel stories inspire us, offering new perspectives. We explore how Aman resorts interpret Sri Lankan culture (Pg 100). Meanwhile, David Beckham’s seamless transition from sportsman to style icon is showcased in a Hugo Boss capsule collection, marking his evolution from a Hackney kid to a stylish Londoner (Pg 14). Being involved in the journey of bringing this issue of Augustman to life—from initial ideas to final print—never ceases to excite me. As I take on this new role and savour each new experience as it comes, I look forward to sharing it all with you.

PASSING THE TORCH, WITH GRATITUDE & GRACE.
I was taught by the example of my ever-wise mentor that among the final tests of true leadership are the grace to pass on the torch and the freedom of moving on, in the interest of the next generation. Such is the cycle of life.
As Biden said, “The best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation,” adding that, “there’s a time and a place for long years of experience in public life. There’s also a time and a place for new voices, fresh voices.”

Today, I’m pleased to have the distinction of bidding you farewell as the last and longest-serving member of the OG team that established and grew Augustman Malaysia to maturity, and bestowing my role and responsibilities to the new and existing team. Most importantly, I take this opportunity to express my most profound gratitude to all those who’ve contributed to the success of Augustman Malaysia over the years. I can’t thank you enough for your support, trust, confidence, and, above all, for believing in us, and sincerely wish that you keep up the love. 
Long live the spirit of Augustman!
Best wishes, 
KC Yap


More often than not, there are more merits and facets to a person or situation than is initially perceived, as is the case of our September 2024 cover star Lucas Bravo. The French actor may have captured the imagination of fans of Emily in Paris the world over with his meteoric rise to fame in his starring role as Lily Collins’ love interest, but Augustman managed to get the man to open up following the recent premiere of the show’s second season and reveal a more reflective and profound side to him than his studly veneer. Despite hailing from a privileged background as the son of a football star, Lucas has taken over 10 years to make his break. Today, while navigating a budding career on screen, he is also passionate about playing a role in environmental activism.  
  
Aside from Lucas Bravo, we’ve also cast the spotlight on the Anugerah Harapan prize-winner at this year’s Merdeka Awards, namely investigative journalist Ian Yee, for his unwavering commitment to championing truth, justice and freedom of press as the editor of the Asia Investigative Reporting Network (AIR Network), a programme by the International Center for Journalists and Pact, which aims to strengthen investigative journalism in Southeast Asia, and the co-founder of The Fourth, an award-winning not-for-profit investigative media startup, which is self-funded through commercial video productions, impact communications consulting, and professional content/journalism training programmes. 
 Enjoy! 

This issue follows hot on the heels of the 2024 Paris Olympics, with many new faces basking under the limelight for both the right and wrong reasons. 
Chan Phei Yong, our cover personality, is no stranger to the limelight though. And he’s always been known for all the right reasons. His story is one of inspiration, especially when you take into account the prep he puts into his work for the radio, YouTube, and the red carpet. 
We also revisit the revelry of the A-List events hosted in collaboration with great brands such as Vacheron Constantin and Cycle & Carriage. This month would also mark our inaugural Master Your Mind programme, where we united a group of specialists of the mind to impart their knowledge to our A-Listers. 
Among all this fun lies the end of my tenure at Augustman Malaysia, which is why I’m tasked with hijacking the editor’s note column this month. 
Before I joined the publication, my editor KC Yap had promised me ‘an experience’ in lieu of the media industry’s skimpy remunerations. Little did he know that I’d have joined regardless, because it just felt right. 
And I’m glad I did, because KC certainly delivered on the experiences front. I’m leaving Augustman a better person thanks to those experiences, and it wouldn’t have been possible without KC believing in me more than I do myself. 

I’ve also met great colleagues along the way — namely Alison, Joyce, and Shin Yeek of the Augustman Malaysia team — who’ve made the years feel like days. They brought the spark to burn the midnight oil and the warmth when it came time to celebrate. 
But like the Olympics or our A-List events, everything comes and goes, and nothing ever lasts. It’s a reminder that all good things must come to an end, but also that the bad times won’t last forever.  
With that string of cliches comes my cue to bid you adieu. So goodbye and enjoy this issue!

The Paris 2024 Olympics is set to take off at the end of this month, which is why we’re exploring the world of sports. For starters, we revisit the iconic moments in previous events before exploring what could be in store for this year’s Games.
And because this year’s Olympics is set to be held in the fashion capital of the world, it’s only apt that we explore the confluence between high fashion and sports, particularly when it comes to the various national kits around the world. 
Our feature stories involve athletes who’ve made waves in their chosen sports, names that will never go unrecognised: Kylian Mbappé, Michael Phelps, and Léon Marchand. And for a bit of variety, we also speak to Naphat ‘Nine’ Siangsomboon to learn more about his career in acting.
Michael Phelps once said, “You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.” And who knows how many new limits are to be broken by individuals all across the world who have dared to dream?
Enjoy!

As we reach the halfway point of this year, it’s important to take note of how we’ve spent it, and if there’s anything we can improve upon before heading into the next half. 

And if that self-assessment leads to matters of the mind, then the Master Your Mind section will be a good primer to the event we’re also holding to empower those looking to up their mental game. 

Our cover personality for this month is Hun Haqeem, dressed in Dior, and the accompanying story written by Alison Loh explores how the movie star is trying to navigate the ups and downs of show business. 

Also, explore and enjoy the A-List events we’ve hosted the past month to celebrate our group of esteemed gentlemen, as well as the substance behind the brands that have collaborated with us. 

In our Startup Of The Month section, we explore a business that champions a meaningful cause, and that’s the accessibility of history for everybody. Speaking of businesses, the perfume house Cereria Terenzi and its three generations of honing its craft provides for an inspirational interview. 

Enjoy!

Humans are distinguished for the superior dexterity of our hands. Throughout history, man has spent generations perfecting valuable hand skills across a plethora of artistic and technical occupations, shaping the world as we know it, from carpentry, smithcraft and construction, to the delicate arts of watchmaking and writing. 
On that note, we’re pleased to continue our exploration of contemporary artists who are persevering with their respective analogue crafts on the next level in this digital world, including sun printing, diorama, leather restoration, etc. I, myself, am privileged to be given the opportunity to pen this note with a Montblanc Meisterstuck fountain pen, in celebration of the “masterpiece” collection’s centenary.  
In collaboration with Montblanc, we are also pleased to present you with our “Lucky” star of the month, Nadhir Nasar, who inspires us with his courage to dream. Finally, I leave you with our roundup of the latest novelties presented at Watches and Wonders 2024, Geneva. Stay tuned for more! 
 HAPPY 100th ANNIVERSARY, MONTBLANC MEISTERSTUCK!  
Enjoy! 

 

 

In celebration of Earth Day 2024, Augustman Malaysia has put together an April issue sprinkled with a blend of stories that drive home the importance and impact of conservation and sustainability, plus some elements of nature, led by our cover stars Idris Khan and his look-alike buddy Ali Reza Kavoosi, dressed fully by Tommy Hilfiger.  
Keeping you abreast of the latest homegrown startups that are making a change for the better while elevating your sustainable lifestyle is a sweet and concise listicle prepared by our contributor Zech Pharamond. For eco-travellers who favour a luxurious boutique escape, refer to our catalogue of Earth-friendly holiday destinations and properties in the Upkeep section. Headlining our watch section is the Rolex Awards for Enterprise. Discover the five exceptional winners from who are packing a punch with their transformative environmental and community-based projects, and what Rolex is doing to support their efforts.  
As we continue to grow as a community, we are pleased to welcome 10 new A-Listers into the Augustman family. Reconnecting them with our friends from the ocean, we’ve reached out to the region’s foremost oceanarium Aquaria KLCC for the venue of our shoot and exciting collabs in the coming months. Enjoy!  

In keeping with tradition, Augustman Malaysia celebrates International Women’s Day 2024 in March with an Augustwoman cover, this time dedicated to Malaysian model extraordinaire Gwen Lu.
Since moving to the Big Apple and subsequently Europe, the Penang-born model has spent the last 25 years solidifying her place on the international fashion week circuit, rocking the runways of New York, Paris, London, Milan, Tokyo, etc. Her career reached a new peak in 2021 when she landed a part in the Balenciaga 50th Couture Show, a historic event that marked the brand’s return to haute couture following a 53-year hiatus. Gwen has since become a regular feature of the luxury maison’s runways and campaigns. In her exclusive cover story for Augustman, the international model shared about her decade-long journey to the top of her game.
In addition, our writer Alison Loh got in touch with social enterprise Tanoti Crafts and discovered a congregation of Sarawakian women artisans dedicated towards the production, promotion and proliferation of hand-crafted fabrics, empowering womenfolk and rural communities through the ancient art of songket weaving. Enjoy!

The dragon has been a central figure in Chinese culture since time immemorial. This year, the Spring Festival prompted a wide range of luxury brands from fashion, horology, liquor, motoring, and more to collaborate with more ethnic Chinese and oriental artists than ever before for their festive collections, the best of which have been thoughtfully curated in our February 2024 issue, with the aim of immersing you in the spirit of the Dragon year.

In search of an ideal ethnic East Asian male figure to lead our Lunar New Year celebration this February, Augustman Malaysia turned to Puma for an exclusive cover story featuring the brand’s celebrity spokesman - mixed martial artist of Korean descent and star of the hit reality show Physical 100, Yoshihiro Akiyama a.k.a. Choo Sung-hoon, or more fondly known as Sexyama. In addition to the success of his mixed martial art career, the man of the hour inspires us not just with his unwavering mettle to both compete and lead, but also with his impeccable taste in luxury and characteristically dandy style.

Wedged between New Year’s Day and the Chinese Spring Festival, our January 2024 issue keeps the festive spirit alive, not just with the latest offerings from the world of luxury, but also a dedicated feature on limited-edition timepieces, each artistically designed and painstakingly crafted to help unleash the “dracarys” in you, perfect for ringing in the Year of the Dragon. 

Adding to the excitement of the New Year celebration, Augustman Malaysia is also pleased to present you with the latest prospects in pop culture, fashion and business who are really starting to come into their own in 2024. Leading the select cast of diverse talents is none other than our cover star and Singaporean actor and singer, Glenn Yong. Stripped of his usual boy-next-door look and sauced up in Cartier and luxe outfits for a more mature, dandy style, the Break Out performer and star of the upcoming film I Not Stupid 3 shared during his interview and photo shoot at Sofitel Kuala Lumpur Damansara that he has graduated from championing the underdog mentality to building meaningful connections and making a positive impact.

In similar fashion, two brothers by the name of Terimunite and Tanestrran Chandran have recently discovered a new purpose in assuming the mantle of their esteemed father Dato’ Sri Bernard Chandran’s menswear brand Figure, since departing from their corporate job and graduating in Psychology, respectively. Outfitted exclusively in Dior for their Augustman digital cover debut, the new blood shared about their roles and plans for the business, and paving a new course in sartorial menswear. 

Enjoy and Happy New Year!


Launched in September 2008, Augustman Malaysia built on the success of its inaugural year with the debut of Men of the Year in December 2009 which has since flourished into an annual tradition. This month, we are not only pleased to announce the double 15th anniversary of Augustman Malaysia and Men of the Year, but more proudly, to present the Men of the Year 2023 award-recipients, each of whom, like our previous laureates, has touched us with their achievements, resolve and bold enterprise. Additionally, in collaboration with one of our longest and most trusted allies, TAG Heuer, we have the pleasure of wrapping up the year with a special bang in the form of leading star and brand ambassador Wi Ha Jun of Squid Game fame, whose Korean stage name literally means “become special.” Embodying the same spirit as TAG Heuer and Augustman, the actor said, “I dreamt big since I was a child to become an entertainer and to overcome boundaries and come as far as I did.”

Join us as we navigate the tumultuous waters of entrepreneurship, learning from the wisdom and fortitude of Bryan Loo's seasoned journey, the visionary endeavours of Alfitry Azmi in democratising batik, and the fun escapades of the Augustman A-Listers at the spirited Ascaro Padel event. 
Loo's story, rife with trials and the hard-won wisdom of experience, highlights the invaluable lessons that have shaped his trajectory. Meanwhile, Azmi's commitment to his craft exemplifies the power of passion in fostering cultural appreciation. And lastly, the A-Listers event showcased once again the bond and camaraderie these boys have cultivated through their time in our programme. 
While these stories involve hardworking personalities, their pursuits barely feel like work to them. As Maya Angelou wisely observed, “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.” May we all find something that lights a spark in our lives as well. 
Enjoy! 

In keeping with the theme, we looked for one of the finest looking men about town today, Azrel Ismail, to grace the cover of our October 2023 issue. In his exclusive interview with Augustman, the actor/model shares about the importance of being earnest and putting in his best in his pursuit of excellence.
Augustman Malaysia, in collaboration with The A-Listers, presents our very first edition of Gentlemen’s List, featuring our top picks of skincare products, fragrances and liquors for your consideration.

The world is shifting faster than it has ever been, with people constantly looking for something fresh. For our fall/winter 2023 issue, in addition to giving you the low-down on the usual fashion trends from the big brands, Augustman has taken the road less travelled to uncover the less than obvious side of things. For fashion, our young and spirited intern Aden, has shared with us his discovery of hidden gems for the benefit of gentlemen who’s looking for something not so mainstream during his time in the United States. 
 
In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the formation of Malaysia, we’ve also looked to two young and rising entrepreneurs in the Borneo side of our country as a reminder that Malaysia is more than just the Peninsular. 
 
Ahead of Southeast Asia’s biggest standup comedian Kumar’s Greatest Hits World Tour 2023, Augustman was given the exclusive opportunity to sit down with the pop culture icon for a heart-to-heart, this time, touching on more sensitive issues such as his painful past and current social issues. Last but definitely not least is our cover star, Meerqeen, whom our writer Alison Loh has had the pleasure of discovering his true self, Shameer.

Leading the lineup this month is Augustman Men of the Year award-recipient and filmmaker Adrian Teh, alongside three of the cast from his latest tour de force Malbatt: Misi Bakara, starring Bront Palarae, Shaheizy Sam and Iedil Putra. Despite the long years that Hollywood has whitewashed the real-life rescue of American soldiers by the Malaysian contingent in the Battle of Mogadishu with the film Black Hawk Down, Adrian has taken it upon himself to tell the true story of the historic events.
In addition, Augustman is proud to present the latest batch of combat sports heroes who are making a difference in Malaysia, both in the ring and in their communities, across the disciplines of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, karate, boxing and sambo.
In anticipation of the debut of breaking at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Augustman is proudly presents the latest talent to join the Malaysian contingent, Khenobu, on the cover of MVMT, celebrating the shared values between watchmaking and dance, namely movement, rhythm and precision. Watches and Wonders 2023 expanded public access with 2 full days dedicated to fans outside the industry and, for the first time, went above and beyond its traditional programme by taking the fair to the streets of Geneva.

Our July cover star and musician Josh Kua, for one, serves as a fine example of Aristotle’s school of thought. The violin virtuoso used the time-off from the hiccups of his overseas expansion as “a chance to explore new ideas through the frame of philosophy.” Photographed in the latest leather and watch offerings by Montblanc, Josh added that self-awareness is the key to owning your niche and developing your artistry. He has recently released the single All a Game, featuring cyberpunk vibes and his own vocals for the first time in his career, to mark the next chapter of his career.

Next, we have the esteemed artist Yee I-Lann. Afflicted by the increasingly toxic environment around her several years ago, the long-time resident of Kuala Lumpur escaped from the city to her hometown in Sabah. What was intended to be a short break soon transformed into a journey of rediscovering the wealth of Borneo’s indigenous heritage. Today, she has returned with the full force of her discovery in the form of Borneo Heart, along with the release of two new books.

For the avid traveller who craves a short getaway, look no further than our homeland. Simply travel to the state of Perak and visit the quiet town of Lenggong, a land that was once part of the Malay kingdom of Pattani and now a UNESCO World Heritage site. With this title, one man by the name of Abdul Nasir Jalaludin (Nash) decided to create a heritage homestay – Rumah Tiang 16 – to encourage the local tourism.

In the face of a mid-year crisis, Augustman turned to everyman’s childhood memories for inspiration and found the perfect cover to shake things up a little. Just for fun, we invited the most endearing Muppet of all time Kermit the Frog to drop by for a special cameo appearance. Much to our delight, and with the warm cooperation of Disney and Oris, the star of every child’s favorite sketch comedy series obliged! 

Through his collaboration with Oris, Kermit reminded us that all work and no play makes Augustman a dull boy, and that everyone could use a little break for self-care and me-time. Simply watch out for the “Kermit Day” on the new Oris ProPilot X Kermit special-edition timepiece. 

For a different perspective, check out how dance has redefined the life of a market vendor by day, an Odissi performer by sundown, in the latest photo-story by Aisha Nazar. But first, find out how artist Ivan Lam is bridging gap between art and the visually impaired with his latest exhibition.

As digital and smart technologies continue to be refined and metastasize to every facet of human life, we couldn’t help but wonder if people are in fact becoming stronger and more dexterous as a species, or are we simply losing the human touch and manual skills? 

Be that as it may, we also couldn’t help but notice that analogue practices and tools are making a comeback among a new generation of abled youths. Augustman has reached out to a handful few for more insights into their individual metiers ranging from the art of journalling and leather craft to pottery, pen-making, calligraphy and so forth, bringing you a more holistic view of the importance of making the most of human artistry in everyday life. 

Taking center stage on the cover of Augustman in May 2023 is indie singer-songwriter and a central figure in the country’s open-mic circuit, not to mention an Augustman Men of the Year laureate - the frontman of The Frankie Sixes, Reza Salleh. In our exclusive catch-up with Reza, the talented artist brings us up to date on his off-the-beaten-path evolution over the past decade, from folk and pop rock to swing jazz, to the official release of the band’s eponymous debut album this month. 

In the month of Earth Day, Augustman brings to the fore the latest batch of enterprising trailblazers who are paving the way for greener pastures, from eco-friendly fashion to forest restoration, to organic waste management, all of whom are playing their small in making a big change. 

In addition, we are pleased to present you with our preliminary roundup of the latest novelties from one of the world’s most sustainable industries, fine watchmaking, fresh off Watches and Wonders 2023. 

At the same time that climate change has given us a lot to think about, Augustman has reached out to our Men of the Year laureate and filmmaker, Nik Amir Mustapha, for our April 2023 cover story, in hopes of gaining deeper insights into his critically-acclaimed albeit mind-boggling

Best known in “Singapore, JB and some say Batam” for her role in Phua Chu Kang Ltd Pte as well as for her contribution in theatre and culture across both sides of the causeway, the award-winning actress has been making headway internationally over the years with roles in Crazy Rich Asians, The Garden of Evening Mists, the original Netflix series Marco Polo, and The CW’s modern adaptation of the 1970s’ American martial arts action-adventure series Kung Fu. In her exclusive cover story for Augustman Malaysia, Kheng Hua shares about her journey from Singapore and Malaysia to Hollywood and the world over, and her positive attitude and independent spirit. Last but not least, we keep you abreast of the times with an extensive report on the latest spring/summer collections from the world of fashion, accompanied by an introduction to the three “core” trends to heed in 2023.

With the Lunar New Year celebrations stretching for 15 days all the way into the month of February, Augustman Malaysia dedicates this issue to the Spring Festival and Chinese culture. Headlining February’s features is a special photo editorial that gives us a glimpse of the history of the Chinese diaspora in the UK and how the modern generation celebrates Chinese New Year in the capital city of London, through the lens of UK-based photographer Aisha Nazar. We follow this up with a visual piece by Annice Lyn capturing the perseverance of the lion dance industry in Malaysia. In keeping with the theme, Daniel Goh took it upon themselves to rediscover traditional Chinese New Year staples and family businesses that have stood the test of time and have been reinvigorated by their descendants for the generations to come. 

In anticipation of the upcoming theatrical release of the supernatural horror film Pulau, Augustman presents the film’s executive producer and F&B entrepreneur Michael Helfman of Mickey’s Original New York Pizza fame, who shares about his sophomore feature film and his return to filmmaking after 10 years, in this February’s exclusive cover story.

The January issue has always proved to be challenging yet exciting, with all the long holidays and early-closing that stretch from Christmas to New Year’s Day, to Chinese New Year. As we brace ourselves for the year ahead, we realised that in times of uncertainty, the best way forward is to sometimes just take step back and learn from the past.

With that, Augustman Malaysia ushers in 2023 with a retrospective feature on the best of the best from the world of luxury in 2022, followed by a cover story, starring fireman-turned-actor Hisyam Hamid who recently reached his 10-year mark in Malaysia. Styled in the latest timepieces from Ulysse Nardin, the star lets us in on the positive things he has learned over the past decade and inspires us with his self-reflection and positive New Year’s resolutions. For more inspiration, look to our New Year, New Policies feature and discover new ways of thinking, working and living that are paving the way for individuals and corporations.

For now, on behalf of the Augustman Malaysia team, I wish everyone abundant good health, continued success and meaningful growth in 202

As 2022 comes to a close, Augustman celebrates the light at the end of the tunnel with the unabridged return of Men of the Year, in all its glory, complete with the rightful awards ceremony to formally present our 14th edition of award recipients on stage, this time in partnership with Cycle & Carriage and Girard-Perregaux. In keeping with tradition, Augustman proudly presents 10 inspiring gentlemen who are making a difference in their respective fields with passion, conviction, creativity, passion, enterprise and indomitable spirit. In conjunction with our Men of the Year 2022 is a special feature of yet another ground-breaker, Singaporean rapper Yung Raja, who first broke the language barriers by blending English and Tamil, and now regional boundaries by spreading his music beyond his homeland.

Augustman brings you a dedicated feature that illustrates its latest expressions spanning bespoke sartorial fashion, auto-detailing, sur masure fragrances and luxury yachts, all of which are meticulously designed with self-discovery, individuality, exclusivity, craftsmanship and personal touches in mind. In keeping with the theme, we have additionally put together a select lineup of the latest astronomical novelties inspired by the cosmos and the origins of horology for your reading pleasure. In collaboration with the official timekeeper of FIFA, Hublot, we usher in World Cup Qatar 2022 with our November cover star and football’s current leading man Kylian Mbappe.

We also introduce our Entrepreneur Supplement, Leading Force casting a spotlight on individuals and enterprises, who are blazing a trail in breaking the boundaries of gender, race, sexuality, product hierarchy, design codes and aesthetic conventions. Leading the force of change on the cover are the founders of Topboi Citizen, featuring Augustman’s pride and A-Lister Hadri Hashim along with his business partner and famed photographer Ridduan TTFGA Ismail, who are collectively changing the perception of modeling with their outré ensemble of homegrown talents with distinctively unconventional aesthetics.

This October, Augustman Malaysia lightens up the celebration of World Mental Health Day with the star power of one of entertainment’s royalty Zizan Razak. Noted for his comedic talent and daring venture into the demanding world of auto-racing, Zizan leads our editorial lineup this month with his inspiring story of pushing his creative and athletic limits to new heights, transforming stress into strength, with an elevated aptitude of focus and endurance.

To further spice up our theme for the month, we added a hearty dose of flavour from the high-stress world of culinary arts, with a special feature on passionate, self-taught to professionally trained chefs and restaurateurs who are pushing the boundaries of gastronomy in Malaysia. Last but not least, we sought out the clinicians and founders of ABRI Integrated Mental Health for their professional insights and to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of mental health.


With every September issue comes the inevitable contemplation of Yves Saint-Laurent’s immortal words, “Fashions fade, style is eternal,” along with the extra-high pressure of finding a perfect candidate for one of our most important covers of the year. And while this year was no different, we took it upon ourselves to push back our printing deadline in order to make way for one of music and fashion’s foremost trailblazers, bringing you what we consider to be one of Augustman’s most inspiring cover features. Graced by the glory of rock royalty Amy Search, our September 2022 issue pays due tribute to the legendary rock star-cum-style icon with an evocative piece by the leading custodian of Malaysia’s arts and culture, founder and director of Pusaka, Eddin Khoo. 

In keeping with the September theme, Augustman also proudly presents the latest fall/winter 2022 offerings from the world of fashion, headlined by such luxury houses as Louis Vuitton, Dior, Gucci, Saint Laurent and more. The comprehensive trend report is accompanied by an intimate look at the personal wardrobes of stylish individuals who epitomise the spirit of the modern gentleman.

In celebration of Merdeka Day, Augustman turns to the latest generation of enterprising Malaysian youths who are elevating the nation’s fondest industry – food and beverage – led by Vincent Lua, founder and CEO of one of Malaysia’s fastest-growing Korean fast casual dining chain MyeongDong Topokki. Having satisfied our editorial senses with food entrepreneurship, the Augustman team then moved over to ILHAM Gallery for some art for thought at the inaugural ILHAM Art Show, a triennial exhibition platform initiated to give artists in Malaysia the opportunity to experiment and make new work. Last but not least, we invite you to delve into the enclosed 2022 edition of our annual watch guide MVMT, this year time fronted by award-winning actor and Montblanc Mark Maker Chen Kun, and discover the latest trends and offerings from the world of horology.

Fronting our cover this month is non-other than Ryan Gosling, the titular star of Netflix's most expensive film to date, The Gray Man. The living embodiment of the TAG Heuer spirit, the 41-year-old actor opens up to us about his role in the upcoming and what's next on his agenda. ⁠
⁠
When it comes to the latest news in men's fashion, take a closer look at what went down during the Louis Vuitton spin-off show in Bangkok, highlight pieces within the highly-anticipated Fendace collection you should cop and many more. ⁠

We also shine the spotlight on our adventurous A-listers, Arvind Kumar who recently conquered Mount Kinabalu and Imran Fauzi who had ventured into Orang Asli villages to help with vaccination. ⁠ Also contributing this issue are the co-founders of the Women Photographers Malaysia, Aisha Nazar and Annice Lyn who shared their journeys to Tibet and Botswana.
