Augustman Malaysia - September 2023

In this issue

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.
