I love building spaces: architecture, furniture, all of it, probably more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It's about space and form and it's something you can share with other people.

More quotes by Donna Karan
I've been meditating as part of my yoga practice for so long, I can't remember when I started.
Donna Karan
I did Urban Zen for myself, to make clothes for me and my friends, a similar philosophy to when I started Donna Karan. Except this time I hope it will stay that way so that I will be able to support young designers and mentor them.
Donna Karan
You know the bodysuit that I built my line on? . . .That was about me being able to go directly from work to yoga class. It just wasn't as accepted to talk about then.
Donna Karan
Personally, I don't use fragrance, and only use essential oils. Stephan [Weiss] said, Donna, we have to do fragrance - fragrance will last forever - fashion goes up and down. And I said, I love Casablanca lilies, I love the smell of your neck and I love suede. If you can combine these three together, we can discuss it.
Donna Karan
Sometimes it takes a germ of an idea, which takes a long time to digest.
Donna Karan
I can't tell you how much I appreciate these young [Israeli] designers. There's too much strife in the world. If we become united in our creativity, not only in what we wear, but what we do, we will change the world. It's truly an honor to be around such inspiration.
Donna Karan
Where there is creativity, there is hope.
Donna Karan
With all the yoga and meditation that I do, when the chaos happens it happens. But I'm not as affected as a lot of people - I don't react as much. I just let things drip off my back a little bit.
Donna Karan
I have tried to hold my philanthropic passion to fashion, because I think this is very important, and I realize I need to delve even deeper into it.
Donna Karan
Business, numbers, negotiations, all that stuff I wouldn't go near.
Donna Karan
I think I was always inspired by seeing a problem, and finding a solution.
Donna Karan
I do remember how sexy my collection was after I first got involved with Stephan [Weiss]. That's one thing I don't have in my life now and...if anything, that's one thing I would love.
Donna Karan
I wanted to create something that would live on forever, beyond my time, and out of that came Cashmere Mist.
Donna Karan
I'm very involved in my business and with my family and my friends. I don't play the social world very much, and not to promote my product. I do it for the philanthropic problems because there I feel that I'm making a difference, and that I'm helping. So I do it in a soulful way.
Donna Karan
My spiritual connection is about embracing everything around me. We're all the same. There are no boundaries . . .
Donna Karan
I look in my closet, and if I need it, I design it.
Donna Karan
That's a journey I've been on for many years. I mean, being a working mother, realizing that I have to make and find my balance.
Donna Karan
I meditate whenever I can. I can be in the back seat of a car or in between appointments.
Donna Karan
Pasta is my favorite comfort food, but sometimes my body really wants a steak, and I'll have one.
Donna Karan
I worked with a writer, Kathleen Boyce. It was a wonderful experience...but I didn't expect that the last chapter would be the last chapter of Donna Karan. That was probably the biggest shock.
