Eyes half-open and learning something
It is still my early morning here and I’m getting caught up on Google reader news-one item is sad(but inevitable) and uplifting: Liz Claiborne dies yesterday after a long fight with cancer. My condolences to her family. Carleen Hawn has written a very informative piece on this great lady and mother of a connector here.
Liz Claiborne Inc was the first Fortune 500 company founded by a woman. Man too bad my Nana never met her that would have been something, two tough female contemporaries involved in women’s fashion.
Kudos to Liz and her drive and accomplishments. This is a good quote to close on from the Hawn piece:
Clairborne will be always remembered for the fact she is a brand. This is a great accomplishment to be a brand [in a high competing field such as fashion].
Rest in piece, you’ve changed the world.
