THE PACESETTER: Apparel retailer Forever 21 Inc. tops the list of the largest women-owned businesses in Los Angeles County. The L.A. company had $4 billion in revenue last year. Forever 21 was founded by South Korean immigrants Do Won “Don” Chang and his wife Jin Sook Chang. The company created F21 red, a store that offers a greater inventory of its company-branded clothing lines.
