About Me

Doris Fisher cofounded clothing retailer Gap in 1969 with her husband, Don (d. 2009), after the couple struggled to find jeans that fit him. The couple raised $63,000 to open their first store, which sold jeans and music, in San Francisco. Doris Fisher served as the company's merchandiser from the day it opened until 2003 and sat on Gap's board until 2009. The 1953 Stanford economics graduate cofounded the KIPP Foundation, which supports public charter schools, donating $15 million.

Gap is short for "generation gap." The Fishers agreed on the name after Doris nixed her husband's original idea, "Pants and Discs."

The Fishers amassed a $1 billion art collection, including works by Andy Warhol and Gerhard Richter, now on display in San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art.
