Still going through this talk by retired UC Davis professor, Darrell Hamamoto who walks about how the fashion industry is used to influence women and create societal behavioral change. He then focuses on the Kate Spade story.
if you know anything about UC Davis..
But I digress.. He makes some useful points for the uninitiated
2014
"Fifth & Pacific Companies changes its name to become Kate Spade Company..
Fifth & Pacific Companies (Kate Spade, Jack Spade and Lucky Brand), formerly Liz Claiborne, just announced a name change"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liz_Claib…
Claiborne was born in Brussels to American parents. She came from a prominent Louisiana family with an ancestor, William C. C. Claiborne, who served as Louisiana's first governor after statehood, during the War of 1812

".. she studied art in painters' studios in Europe, learning almost informally “how to see” and how to use colour. She then spent years, in New York's Garment District along Seventh Avenue, making sketches and picking up pins for male designers.."
Claiborne launched her own design company, Liz Claiborne Inc., in 1976 with husband Art Ortenberg, Leonard Boxer, and Jerome Chazen
Jerome Chazen was a roommate of Ortenberg at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
Chazen and his wife Simona, a practicing psychotherapist, ..created the Chazen Foundation to support causes they were passionate about, including the University of Wisconsin archive.ph/cFhfi
Columbia Business School, The Metropolitan Opera, the Museum of Arts and Design, The Louis Armstrong House & Archives, the Lupus Research Alliance, among many other social causes.
The Chazens were also early champions of the American Craft movement, and have supported the American Craft Museum for many years, through its transition to today’s Museum of Arts and Design
Enrico started playing the trumpet at the age of five. His father, jazz clarinettist Ernie Tomasso, nurtured his inherent talent and gave him every opportunity to hear and meet many jazz greats such as Benny Goodman, Roy Eldridge, Oscar Peterson, Buddy Rich, Dizzy Gillespie,..
"Enrico is one of the major players on the British jazz scene as can be seen by listing just some of his recent collaborations which include those with Scott Hamilton, Marty Grosz, Warren Vache, Dan Barrett, Ken Peplowski, Bucky Pizzarelli,.. the PIZZA EXPRESS All Stars "
Well, that bit's starting to come together.. anyway.. back to the fashion industry story
Biographies of Art Ortenberg tend to focus on his late wife Liz Claiborne and the company they created
The man himself is more of an enigma
However, we can go look at his sister, Gloria Farber, mother of Jennifer Farber Dulos
2020 showbiz411.com/2020/03/08/the…
"The New York Times, New York Magazine, Vanity Fair, even the Hartford Courant– not one of them has written an actual story about Jennifer Farber Dulos, missing and presumed dead since last May. Her husband, Fotis Dulos, is presumed to have killed her
".. But who is Gloria Farber?
In the old days, those journals I mentioned would have been all over the Dulos-Farber story. For some reason, it remains untold" nytimes.com/1976/09/21/arc…
"Jennifer’s father, Hilliard Farber, died in 2017 .. In 2008 he’d sold the Wall Street firm he founded, Hilliard Farber & Co.
The Farbers also supported CARING at Columbia, a program to assist at risk children. At the time of Hilliard’s death, Gloria served as chairperson."
"The Fifth Avenue spread is not the only Farber home. More suited to five rambunctious children would be their Pound Ridge estate"
38 Mallard Lake Road.. but Google streetview doesn't go there
Interestingly, across the lake, directly opposite..
52 S Bedford Rd, Pound Ridge owned by Greg Manocherian of the Manocherian family
The 2 families move in similar circles..
