Apple's nabbed another top fashion exec. Apple Insider reports that Gap's global marketing director Marcela Aguilar will serve as Apple's Director of Global Marketing Communications. Aguilar helped remake the Gap brand over the past three years and she has experience in global marketing. Apple Insider notes that Aguilar is the most recent fashion hire to Apple, which picked up former Burberry CEO Angela Ahrendts to head up retail in 2013 and former YSL CEO Paul Deneve in 2013 for "special projects."
