“Only great minds can afford simple style.” That exact quote came to me upon recognizing Auguste Soesastro‘s designs. I still remember his show during the Jakarta Fashion Week 2013, last November for his spring/summer collection 2013, with water as the whole inspiration for his collection. The whole scenery above the ground upon seeing the sea, covered in a nautical mood.
During the Indonesia Fashion Week 2013, it was the same concern and always be the major concern of Auguste through Kraton- his luxury/high end non made-to-measure ready-to-wear collection. In the past 6 months, two of the cities that he called home were immersed in water: a hurricane in New York and the recent floods in Jakarta. We can no longer deny the impact of modern civilization on the environment.
