Fashion designer Liz Clairborne died on Tuesday at the New York Presbyterian Hospital. She had suffered from cancer for a number of years. In losing Liz Claiborne, we have not only lost the founder of our company, but an inspirational woman who revolutionized the fashion industry 30 years ago. Her commitment to style and design is ever present in our thinking and the way we work. We will remember Liz for her vision, her entrepreneurial spirit and her enduring compassion and generosity.
This photo and statement appears on the Clairborne website:
According to the website, by 1985, Liz Claiborne Inc. was the first company founded by a woman to be listed in the Fortune 500. Awesome.
She was very stylish.
