Her success was built upon stylish yet affordable apparel for career women. Claiborne is best known for co-founding Liz Claiborne Inc., which in 1986 became the first company founded by a woman to make the Fortune 500 list. Claiborne was the first woman to become chair and CEO of a Fortune 500 company. PIONEER Marketing strategies that Claiborne developed changed the nature of retail stores. For example, Claiborne insisted that her line of clothing be displayed separately, as a department to itself and including all of the items she offered. This was the first time customers were able to select many types of clothing articles by brand name alone in one location of a department store. Grouping special brands has become the typical name-brand arrangement in contemporary stores. Two Seasons Added Breaking the four-season tradition in the industry, Liz Claiborne has added two periods to its fashion year, offering pre-summer and pre-fall selections. Spring and fall together still account for about 47 percent of the company's sales. However, industry analysts say the six-cycle innovation has boosted business by keeping a constant supply of fresh merchandise in the stores and improving inventory turnover.
