Another fashion hire working on the special projects at Apple most likely involve with Watch. I'm assuming all these fashion hires are for more than just Watch which makes me wonder what else Apple has up its sleeve. But I think this is another indication that Watch isn't going to be a traditional Apple product sold in Apple stores and Best Buys and Walmart's. You don't need to hire a VP from Louis Vuitton to sell your wares at Best Buy.

It's strange isn't it.
I'm not sure of your viewpoint, but some seem to feel hiring "Fashion Experts" is a positive/plus aspect for Apple and it's watch.
Now, perhaps it's "just me" but personally, every single "Fashion Expert" Apple takes on, or that Apple gets involved with, regards the Apple watch, for me, only pushes the product more and more into negative territory I'm sorry to say.
I am SO anti these so called Fashion People when it comes to technology.
If I wanted to pick a good looking suit, pair of pants, or discus my home décor, paint, fabrics ect, then sure. They may have some use.
But when it comes to a piece of electronics. I'd want ANY such people to keep their dam noses out of it.
Having a piece of technology screwed up due to "Fashion" is the very very last thing I'd want.
Plus of course, in general this simply means whatever they get involved in, is then artificially inflated in price.
Again, perhaps it's me, but I'd steer as far away from any products that are involved in fashion as I possible can.
And more so, I'd rather use my own judgement and taste as to pick what I like, than buying it due to it's brand/label or designer name on the front.
I know many don't agree as the fashion industry generates loads of money due to people buying things as they wish to be "Part of it"
