Omnipotent Minimalism: The ‘Steve-Jobs-Black-Turtleneck’

Tech wizards are not normally known for great fashion sense. In fact, normally tech/developer types are branded with quite the opposite. Well, Steve Jobs was never the average tech innovator and, while his fashion has become an icon, he has not become a fashion icon. There is a difference. However, Steve Jobs’ rigidly consistent ensembles of black mock turtlenecks, jeans and tennis shoes have blasted into ubiquity, especially after his recent death.

With the death of Steve Jobs came the end to a glorious and unrivaled career. Jobs’ name appears on over 345 U.S. patents. He righted the sinking ship of Apple Inc. and turned it into a $323 billion dollar company. He thought of technology as prosthetic and challenged how intuitive devices could be. Jobs is a legend and has easily become the idyllic technology developer. Aspiring innovators are sure to not only take interest in his life but also fully memorialize his brand, something Jobs constructed carefully.

Once upon a time, people knew how to dress for weddings and other occasions. They knew that an evening wedding meant wearing a dinner jacket (and they knew that “dinner jacket” means tuxedo!), they understood that sandals with socks are not appropriate wedding footwear, and no one would have dreamed of wearing jeans to a church ceremony.

High-Culture/Low-Culture: High-Tops/Low Tops

August 1st, 2011 by admin | No Comments

Street brands started cropping up and filling a void that was left between high-fashion houses and sportswear. Companies like A Bathing Ape designed, made and sold their own wares for boutique prices. Other brands like Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream (both run by music mogul Pharrell Williams of Neptunes fame) floowoed the blueprint laid down by BAPE and once it was evident that there was a market that would pay for high quality sneakers, fashion houses began thinking of ways to capitalize on this emerging demographic.
