They're not so different these days, especially in SV, I think. Apple, for one, has made itself on being a fashionable product. If one of a company's goals is to be fashionable, does it make sense to hire people who don't care about a core portion of the company's vision?

there's a correlation causation issue to consider.

jobs wore black-t-necks to be anti-fashion

ives is a designer, fan of colour etc.

people that make fasion != people that follow it (or: victims, slaves, etc)
