Flypaper - Stuck on Style: Liz Passes On

Liz Passes On

Famous for clothing working women of the 70s and 80s, Liz Claiborne made dressing for the job affordable for feminists and office drones alike. “I wanted to dress busy and active women like myself," she told WWD in 1989, "women who dress in a rush and who weren’t perfect.” She passed away from complications from cancer Tuesday. Her company will, of course, live on, with holdings that include Juicy Couture, Lucky Brand jeans, and now a partnership with Narciso Rodriguez.
