He co-founded The Gap Inc. clothing stores with his wife Doris F. Fisher. Fisher was born in San Francisco, California to a Jewish family, the eldest of three sons of Aileen Fisher (née Emanuel) and Sydney Fisher, a cabinetmaker. He spent his childhood in the then-middle-class Sea Cliff neighborhood of San Francisco. In 1951, Fisher graduated with a B.S. in business administration from the University of California, Berkeley. At Berkeley, he was a member of the Theta Zeta chapter of the national fraternity Delta Kappa Epsilon. After graduating from Berkeley, he served as a U.S. Naval Reserve officer and then worked for his father as a cabinet-maker for L. & E. Emanuel Incorporated, a mill and cabinet making firm created by his great-grandfather that his mother inherited after her father died. Fisher and his wife went on to open their first store carrying all sizes of jeans and named it The Gap after the "Generation Gap". Since founding the Gap in 1969, Fisher and his wife Doris began collecting contemporary Western art.) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Fisher> |
