Fashion designer and innovator Liz Claiborne died Tuesday of a unknown cause. I think this post was definitely needed to show respect to a highly successful fashion industry veteran. Liz Claiborne started her company in 1976 with less than $500,000 and grew into a $5 billion dollar monster in the fashion industry.

Most of Liz Claiborne innovations were made in the women’s apparel industry with career women being her target, but her legacy far surpasses that one market. Liz Claiborne as a company was on the pulse of fashion and business as a whole. Fashion just being a foot in the door of success. Liz Claiborne went on to create beauty products, luggage and much much more. They also had their hand in the business of acquiring successful small clothing companies including their buyout of urban sportswear company Enyce for $114 million.
