Simone's work is actually what i appreciate the most among the niche. Beside the new balance running shoes, A1923 is actually the only footwear i choose to keep after trying ccp, layer-0, cdiem...etc considering the look, durability, and comfort. I totally agree with cj's point that simone does do a lot of rip off from many work of others. Well, i remember having a conversation with a huge fan of cdiem and he said he disliked Augusta because "simone lacks his own voice". I can never see what he envisions. I see several elements from other designers in Augusta (needless to say about the footwear, but i do feel the lapel is similar to harnden's, especially when buttoned up) but the overall vibe of the work is most definitely his own. I sense this introverted humbleness, subtle elegance of ruggedness from Augusta. The silhouette is edgy, fitted, and very masculine, unlike the relaxed, egg-shape PH. While being edgy, it's distinct from the the extreme, self-abused, insect-like-skinny-edgy attention whore(all due respected) ccp, which simone is a big fan of and does a lot of rip-off from. Augusta is like saying, to put it in a Yohji way, "I don't bother you - don't bother me"
In my humble opinion, yes, we can definitely break down step by step which element did simone copy this from but it's the end-product, the overall vibe of the garment, as long as feels like his own, that's important, to me.
btw,
does anyone know if simone is ever gonna make any hoodie? Im sure when he does, my search for the m.a+ aviator would be over.
Like quiet a few others, Simone makes things that he likes to wear. I've never seen him in a hoodie. Though if people keep petitioning on here, maybe he will
His clothes look nothing like Harnden. The problem is once people have seen that your work has been too close to that of others, even one similar detail (lapels) makes them scream murder.

Does anyone know if there were production issues this season? So far the long coat is the only garment I've seen arrive in stores. Perhaps Simone has taken influence from a certain unmentioned designer and is abandoning doing his collections on a seasonal schedule as well?
they are delivering right now, its always a bit a later into the season.

those are pretty awful... The 3 boots from PN/P are awesome, above 2 not so much. I appreciate the fact that a1923 takes risks but sometimes its just unnecessary.
