More quotes by Donna Karan
When I go to Bali, when I come to India and travel and see different cultures. I make sure I'm involved in the world out there, creatively, culturally.
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
You don't have that much choice in your life, which is one of the big lessons I've learned. I was going to be a designer whether I wanted to be a designer or not. So there I was.
Donna Karan
I'd rather promote New York than anything else in this world because New York to me means the world.

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
I truly believe that philanthropy and commerce can work together.
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
Business, numbers, negotiations, all that stuff I wouldn't go near.

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.
Donna Karan
Its really easy to get colors right. Its really hard to get black - and neutrals - right. Black is certainly a color but its also an illusion.
Donna Karan
Every time I see the sunshine in the bright blue sky, I cannot help but think how blessed I really am to see another day. There are so many who may have not woken up to see it but I have been blessed.
Donna Karan
Sometimes it takes a germ of an idea, which takes a long time to digest.
Donna Karan
Pasta is my favorite comfort food, but sometimes my body really wants a steak, and I'll have one.
Donna Karan
My biggest style regret is that I can't fit into the models' clothes.
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
It's hard to keep the energy going sometimes, that's why I like to go with a group of people who are meditating. I love meditating in groups, it's fantastic.
Donna Karan
I wouldn't be who I am without my husband, who handled the business end of Donna Karan so I could be creative.
