    Fashion designer Liz Claiborne dies
    NEW YORK (CNN) -- Fashion designer Liz Claiborne died Tuesday, the company she founded said Wednesday. She was 78.

    The Belgian-born Claiborne immigrated to the United States in 1939, but returned to Europe 10 years later to study art. After returning to New York, she worked for several design houses before launching her own company in 1976 with her husband, Art Ortenberg, and two other partners.

    They started the company with less than $500,000 and watched it grow to what is now a $5 billion public company.

    Claiborne and Ortenberg retired from active management of the company in 1989. (Posted 3:19 p.m.)
