"[on Steve Jobs] He wore that famous black mock turtleneck ... not to make a fashion statement"
If you hire Issey Miyake to make a custom turtleneck, then you are making a fashion statement. Also, he wore black for a reason - it's a sophisticated, serious, and confident color (or lack thereof) - which was a fashion statement.
- eckyptang 14y agoDoes that apply to my of $2 black Gildan cotton t shirts? :)
- dllthomas 14y agoThe choice of outfit, and the choice to always wear said outfit, are slightly different things. My reading is that the author intended the latter.
- bradddd 14y agoExactly. To interpret that as a "now I have more time to deal with other things" motive fails to acknowledge the fact that Jobs was one of the most prolific critics of subtle details. If he truly had more important things to care about than his wardrobe, he would have worn whatever he had any given day. It may not be fashion, but he established a brand.
- saraid216 14y agoI would be highly entertained if someone actually established a line of clothing catering to Steve Jobs wannabes.
