My Life at Liz Claiborne: How We Broke the Rules and Built the Largest Fashion Company in the World 

For the very first time, Founder and Former Chairman of Liz Claiborne,  Jerome A. Chazen reveals the story of the founding of Liz Claiborne,  Inc. from startup to successful Fortune 500 company in his new business  memoir, My Life at Liz Claiborne: How We Broke the Rules and Built the Largest Fashion Company in the World.

“We started our company from scratch with a total investment of  $250,000,” says Chazen. “We entered one of the most competitive  industries in the world – one with a new company failure rate of 90  percent. Not only did we beat the odds, we succeeded beyond our wildest  dreams, growing in a very short time to become the largest fashion  apparel company in history.”
“I’ve written this book to leave behind a record of what we did and how  we did it,” Chazen says. “We didn’t succeed through luck or good  fortune, we did it through hard work, a sharp desire to understand and  supply the consumer and a willingness to break the established rules of  our industry. I hope the Liz Claiborne story and my role in it will  inspire others to dream big, work hard, challenge the status quo and  always strive for excellence.”
