Vanderbilt began working as a fashion model when she was 15 years old, and she appeared in Harper's Bazaar.
Vanderbilt ventured into the fashion industry itself in the 1970s, first with Glentex, licensing her name and a series of her paintings for a line of scarves. In 1976, Indian designer Mohan Murjani's Murjani Corporation suggested that a line of designer jeans be printed with Vanderbilt's signature embroidery on the back pocket as well as her swan logo. Her jeans were more tightly fitted than other jeans of the time, and were a huge hit among customers.
Vanderbilt sold the rights to her name to Murjani Group in 1978 and re-launched GV Ltd, which she had founded in 1976. She founded dresses, blouses, sheets, boots, leather goods, liqueurs, and accessories for her business. L'Oreal launched eight fragrances from 1982 to 2002, under the brand name Gloria Vanderbilt. In 1988, Murjan sold the rights to the name Gloria Vanderbilt to Gitano Group Inc.'s founders.
In 2002, Jones Apparel Group purchased the rights to Gloria Vanderbilt jeans.
Vanderbilt accused her ex colleagues in GV Ltd. and her advocate of fraud in the 1980s. Vanderbilt received nearly $1.7 million after a lengthy hearing (during which the lawyer died), but the money was never recovered. The New York City Bar Association had also awarded $300,000. Vanderbilt owes millions of dollars in back taxes, since the lawyer never paid the IRS, and she was compelled to sell her Southampton, New York, and Upper East Side homes.
Vanderbilt studied art at the Art Students League of New York. She became well-known for her artwork, with one-woman exhibits of her oil paintings, watercolors, and pastels on display. In 1948, the first exhibition was held in London. This artwork was created and licensed by Hallmark Cards and Bloomcraft (a textile manufacturer), and Vanderbilt began designing specifically for linen, pottery, and glassware in about 1968.
Vanderbilt returned to art in 2001 and opened "Dream Boxes," her first art show at the Southern Vermont Arts Center in Manchester; it was a critical success. In 2007, she opened a second exhibition of 35 paintings at the Arts Center. Vanderbilt returned to the Arts Center as a panelist at the annual Fall Show Exhibition, signing copies of her new book, Obsession: An Erotic Tale.
