Fashion house Liz Claiborne Inc. says founder Liz Claiborne, whose styles became an important influence for career women in the 1970s and 1980s, died Tuesday.

Her company released a statement saying “we lost not only our founder, but an inspirational woman who revolutionized the fashion industry 30 years ago. We will remember Liz for her vision, her entrepreneurial spirit, and her enduring compassion and generosity.”

There is still no word on the cause of her death. She was 78.

Introducing Lee Lee’s Valise NYC

The majority of American women average a size 14. It is very apparent that many boutiques have ignored the “normal sized” women. In comes Lee Lee’s Valise, the FIRST boutique for plus size women in New York City.

Lee Lee’s Valise is a very chic boutique, which will specialize in sizes 12 to 24; our basic goal is to address all of the problems average size women have encountered in shopping for clothing. We will offer a significant selection of fashionable and trendy tops, pants, dresses and even fitted bras and lingerie. Perfume, jewelry and scented candles will have a prominent place in our inventory, as well as such accessories as wraps, shawls, handbags and scarves to accent an outfit that our staff will help assemble for the discriminating shopper. Owner, Lisa will help you pick out everything from a stylish prom outfit to an ensemble to wear to a wedding, baptism or bar mitzvah. We will be able to help the customer dress in the latest fashions as well as the classic look that is always a delight. Alterations will be available on premises by appointment so that we can provide the perfect fit.

The store has developed an inventory that includes many of the most popular and innovative lines in the 12 to 24 market. They include Tadashi, Donna Ricco, Abby Z, Igigi, Kiyonna, Elena Miro, Anna Scholz, Marina Avraam, B and Lu, Fashion Overdose, Jessica Svododa, and Size Appeal. In addition to the aforementioned designers, we have developed a selection of original and unique tops that are only offered at Lee Lee’s Valise. Our lingerie includes such brands as Spanks, Prima Donna, Volage, Grenier, and Hanky Panky. As a special event, we are featuring the handbags of Maxx New York and a limited selection of scarves from Drakes London. We are also featuring the original and unique designs of a group of local jewelry designers that we have sought out to bring some new designs to the table.

Lee Lee’s Valise has been designed to give an “old school” feel reminiscent of the 1940’s Italian immigrant Brooklyn. We have furnished the store with antique pieces that have been utilized in unique ways. Our counter is an antique buffet server and our bras are housed in an old chimney cabinet. Black crystal chandeliers are the focal point of the store as well as the main ingredient in our color scheme of black, ivory and chocolate brown. Our store logo is a cameo designed as the luggage tag for the valise and is best represented by our swing sign on the President Street entrance.

Lee Lee’s Valise has quite a history. It started out as a longshoreman’s social club back in the days when the old-timers like Al Capone and Albert Anastasia walked the streets of Brooklyn. Mr. Capone was married at St Mary’s Star of the Sea, the church down the street, in a scandalous marriage to an Irish girl. We don’t know what secrets might be buried in our cellar and we don’t intend to do any digging in our renovations.

Lee Lee’s Valise, located at 368 Court Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231.
