Fashion Quote by Walter Isaacson
““He also came to like the idea of having a uniform for himself, because of both its daily convenience (the rationale he claimed) and its ability to convey a signature style. "So I asked Issey to make me some of his black turtlenecks that I liked, and he made like a hundred of them." Jobs noticed my surprise when he told this story, so he gestured to them stacked up in a closet. "That's what I wear," he said. "I have enough to last for the rest of my life.””
