No need for concern......AP will continue to be the innovative leader....

Hello BClaire57,

Hello and welcome to the forums and congrats on your first post!

AP, like all brands, are a TEAM effort so if one designer leaves the rest carry on so there is no need for concern. Not sure about rumors nor do I care about them (we are not like those scuzzy tabloids) I'm confident and positive that AP will continue to produce interesting and innovative products for us to enjoy regardless if the rumors are true.

Besides, if it wasn't for sites like ThePuristS and PuristSPro would anyone have know who any of the designers are? We all highly respect the designers but ultimately you have to give credit where credit is due, and the credit goes to the TEAM of designers.

A good analogy is that of 'Superstars' on the L.A. Lakers (a professional basketball team here in the States). The 2004 team LOST despite having Kobe, Shaq, and Malone. Look at LeBron James, he's a Superstar yet can't win a Championship. Many forget that it's a TEAM effort. Always is and always will be.

Hope this helps.

-MW

Hi, and welcome. I know, like, and respect Mr. Garcia. I also believe that some of the most iconic designs from AP in the past few years were not truly Mr. Garcia's designs but rather that of another in AP's design department. Which means that, if true (a...
