Apple is pretty famous for its product placements and the former CEO wearing certain clothes makes the audience curious: Who sells this pullover? The answer is: several companies do. It used to be retailers like St. Croix – an American store for handcrafted knitwear – supplying Steve with his favorite outfit, a – of course black – longsleeve named 1990 with a price of $190.00.

In February 2010, a small label from Berlin had the idea to send Steve one of their cashmere luxury turtle neck sweaters worth ~$580 and they were lucky! Steve wore it to his last keynotes and ordered several different pullovers from VONROSEN’s online store. This sounds like the perfect success story powered by branded entertainment, if only they didn’t have not to close down in late 2011, following a law-sue by Peek&Cloppenburg who wanted to protect their Paul Rosen label against what they feared would lead to consumer-confusion between both brands
