“An email from luxury fashion label VONROSEN, bring[s] forth the revelation that Apple head honcho Steve Jobs was wearing one of their cashmere sweaters on stage at WWDC 2011 earlier this week (and later when he asked the Cupertino city council for space to park his spaceship or something),” Robin Wauters reports for TechCrunch. “The email came straight from Dr. David Frederik von Rosen-von Hoewel, the label’s CEO.”
“Now that I’ve got you all giddy, let me stomp on your excitement right away: reportedly due to the ‘large number of inquiries,’ VONROSEN’s system is currently unable to take further orders,” Wauters reports. “Yeah like you’d spend $616 on a sweater instead of treating yourself to that extra iPad 2.”

MacDailyNews Take: VONROSEN should’ve played it cool like New Balance as that’s likely the last time anyone will ever see Jobs in that sweater after this little publicity stunt.

Will the M.I.C. Gadget Steve Jobs doll have to be revised to show him wearing this sweater then?
I prefer Scott Forstall’s look these daysl
I don’t. SJ and his wearing of a cashmere sweater has always made sense to me. It’s lightweight can be worn in all climates and from a practical side keeps you warm as well. It’s pretty cold in office buildings and if you’re running in and out during the day practical. One comment he made years ago was that he “didn’t give a s$&t
how he looked or what people said. Just my humble feminine thought. Yeah, the Kraut probably blew it. Guess SJ will have to hit the JCrew cashmere rack!
HAHA.. just amazing,, the level of attention on everything Apple and Steve do
I love Ballmer’s cloths better. His cloths always have this cool “wet look”…
Ballmer’s on the forefront of self-generated, evaporative cooling fashion system technology. He be da’ coo’ man here.
It’s not a sweater, it’s the top half of his ninja suit.
I want to see Ballmer in Spandex.
Gawd, the mental image just made me throw up a little in my mouth.
Hope he gets a sweat proof one.
bbblllaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgghghhhhhhh!………..oah….there goes my lunch…….well it was good the first time I ate it……..
Link doesn’t work. Typical MDN.
Suprised Jobs would even wear a $600 sweater.. I thought the whole point of his Levi’s, New Balance and Mock turtle was that he didn’t buy into fashion..
not that I care, I mean, he does have billions… 🙂
He also has a wife and a family that love him dearly.
Yeah, it’s like you or I dropping a $20 to buy it. Probably fished out spare change to get one. “Oh, look a $1,000 bill must’ve come out of my pants pocket in the dryer!”
I am pretty sure you are wrong MacRaven. Like the king, Steve probably does not carry cash. He has people to do that sort of thing for him.
His wife bought it.
Exactly.
The sweater company may want to ditch the flash on their site!
http://www.vonrosen.com, is 100% flash – I can’t get there on any of my modern Post-PC devices.
Ha ha ha ha.
Just another indication of the true cluelessness of von von something or another.
