“Apple Inc has hired the former chief executive of French luxury group Yves Saint Laurent for ‘special projects’ reporting to Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook,” Poornima Gupta reports for Reuters.
Gupta reports, “‘We’re thrilled to welcome Paul Deneve to Apple,’ spokeswoman Kristin Huguet said. ‘He’ll be working on special projects as a vice president reporting directly to Tim Cook.'”
Gupta reports, “It is unclear what special projects Deneve will be overseeing at Apple.”

Nice. Just more proof that Apple has style and class. Did Gaagle or Micro$loth ever get anyone sophisticated for their projects? (Fine, Brian Eno did make the start up sound for Windblows 98, but that’s about it.)
Brian Eno Really, what was he on at that moment I wonder. Bye the way can you imagine him in a creative meeting with Gates and Ballmer, oh to be a fly eh.
He probably would have been very polite and helpful; afterwards, they would say to themselves, “What was he talking about?”
Good. I need some new underwear.
Watch out, Google Glass!
Tim might have admired, for example, Saint Laurent’s quintessential heel sandals, as at home in Riverside as on the Riviera. Iconic and ubiquitous: a killer combination in fashion, temptingly extensible to personal, and wearable, tech.
Are you suggesting Tim wears heels?
Pish-tush. He may possess a discerning eye unblemished by gender stereotypes, or he may be laying fresh demographic assault plans in the war room. Either way, every inch the leader; and you can be sure he will not offer hot pink mobile phones with matching perfumes as some of his pandering competitors have done.
Hannah, your smooth language and wordplay evoke certain strange but strong feelings. Are by chance you available for stimulating telephone… uh… consultation?
Hands off Jimmy. She’s mine I tell ya. Mine! 😉
hmmm bullet bras offer up so much potential for wearable tech don’t you think.
WIRE bullet bras. Hide your electronic devices in your cleavage, protected by your Faraday Cage™ Bullet Bra! Look hot while keeping that pesky NSA away from your best assets. Yeah! 😀
You may have something there. All starting with the iWatch moving forward.
I had one of his suits in the 70’s.
I heard that Leisure Suit Larry is making a comeback…
Apple’s turning gay like their CEO.
you’ve been using Apple products designed and sold by many gays all the time, so shout up!
It would be so much preferable if Apple turned stupid and bigoted like you, wouldn’t it anonymous coward ‘slimon’. 😛
Gotta love a Samsung sending in the trolling homophobes, oh how society has progressed.
Good! Most gays I know and am friends with have impeccable taste in design and fashion, plus have successful businesses of their own. Maybe Microsoft should hire a gay CEO instead of the big fat hetero-Sweat Monkey who’s left nut has jumped ship and is over here all the time.
I’m a bit worried about BLN. He’s been absent from what would have been some dandy boxing matches for the likes of him. I’m thinking that his more rational posts failed to garner the accolades he deserved, whilst his aggressive rants were consistently downgraded. Could it be possible that this new star ranking system constitutes a new kind of deterrence? More likely, he became bored at the yawn-inducing parade of predictable comments.
Well, you have to learn to take the good with the bad here, esp. if you want to post your honest opinion.
You are well named, though I would add an “e” to further clarify.
I don’t know what apple is doing nowadays excepting new iOS 7. The passion seems to be cool off quickly.
Come on!!! … that was a lame attempt to wind up the “sheeple” We can do better Edward … EDWARD!
… need my Sumdung blankly now … Mummmmy!
You do get the feel from their formulaic dialogue that English isn’t their first language. Quite amusing really.
Edweird.
No mention that he worked for Apple for 7 years and left in 1997? He’s not a fashion designer.
The Today Show was speculating wearable computing.
Thanks for that. Put some perspective on the hire. From Wiki it appears he has been mostly involved in management at the top level.
It will be interesting to see what he is involved in. Doesn’t exactly have the retail expertise so probably not that.
Was this person involved with “special projects” back in the day?
What exactly did this person accomplish?
Why did this person depart Apple?
A faux furry hot pink iPad cover that smells good. Heck, I’d pay EXTRA for REAL stitched leather that smells like a summer horse.
Not sure your sex life is of importance to us.
Wilbur, is that you?
Always dreamed of an English Leather cologne that really did smell like real English Leather : )
That brings back memories of my uncle. English Leather was his favorite cologne in the 1970s. His woman liked it, not sure about the scent you suggest … 😉
Nothing like the smell of walking into a nice Tack Shop! (A Saddlery for you non-horsey people).
Horse people are certainly a different breed. 🙂
Never been to a Tack Shop. However, a fresh leather scent is something I have experienced elsewhere and “has a unique bouquet.”
Quote from Sophia Loren in “Grumpier Old Men.”
No amount of fashion mouth to mouth resuscitation is going to revive the hideous iOS 7 icons from their death pallor.
No amount of fashion mouth to mouth resuscitation is going to revive the hideous iOS 7 icons from their death pallor. The suckiness continues.
Sorry anonymous coward ‘Defribillator’ (spelling challenged?), but Samsung doesn’t pay twice for the same post, even with ‘The suckiness continues’ tacked on the end.
YOU’RE FIRED.
They are just simply making fools of themselves now, there’s going to be whatever the Korean version of Hari-kari is in the Samsung Dungeon at this rate.
Yeah maybe. But nice and slow please. I want to enjoy every moment.
Popcorn’s not good enough. Doritos Nacho Chips for EVERYONE! My treat. 😀
Agreed on the hideous part. But disagree the pallor (great word) will change. The girls and gays are just giddy with delight! The rest will soon get a great street view of the undercarriage of a city bus.
I really hope that the special projects for Timmy does not incorporate turning Apple to Gaypple.
Maybe it’s time for Scott Forstall to come back to Apple as CEO, Timster can either become the new chairman or go back to being COO.
Have you ever been in therapy to discover the source of your aversion to homosexuals? Could be QUITE revealing. . .
Replying to WhatIsThis.
Apple solidifies its pretentiousness. You would think that after the public’s disdain for the self-aggrandizing “Designed in Califronia” ads Apple would have taken a more circumspect view of their corporate identity and brand loyalty.
Possibly they are not very PROUD of the USA? Hope not. Considering massive protests in Egypt, sentiment against the USA is flaring up again, makes you wonder …
Strictly for keynote outfits.
Wish Apple had said “Designed in the USA”. We are not all proud of the California archetype.
California is not a country, so, interesting point. Guess the enlightened flyover crowd aboard Apple Air One doesn’t care much for the rest of the USA.
Chrysler tried something similar recently with their “Imported from Detroit” tag line. I think it mostly made people chuckle.
Nice!
