More quotes by Donna Karan
Design is a constant challenge to balance comfort with luxe, the practical with the desirable.
Donna Karan
I love Thieves, it is therapeutic, if you're not feeling well. It has a very strong scent but is quite wonderful. I also use lavender. Peppermint, when my stomach is upset.
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.
Donna Karan
Pasta is my favorite comfort food, but sometimes my body really wants a steak, and I'll have one.
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 start my day with a mind, body, soul practice - yoga, pilates or meditation.
Donna Karan
Smell is the primordial sense, more powerful, more primitive, more intimately tied to our memories and emotions than any other. A scent can trigger spiritual, emotional or physical peace and stimulate healing and wellness.
Donna Karan
I also miss the support that I had of so many people. You know I'm a very Ma and Pa operation right now, and I was used to having everything working for me. It was a similar situation when I left Anne Klein and started Donna Karan. All of a sudden I was working in my apartment and it was, Oh my god, what am I doing?
Donna Karan
Fragrance is the first layer of dressing, a woman's invisible body suit.
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
I couldn't stand the fact that anybody else was dressing like me. It was supposed to be for me and my friends, not my daughter and her friends!
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
Business, numbers, negotiations, all that stuff I wouldn't go near.
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
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
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
Where there is creativity, there is hope.
Donna Karan
[The consumer] shown new styles in the moment, but she's not going to get them for another six months - and I think that's very confusing for her. She feels she's seen it all by the time it comes around. She's also a little bored. She's really into [snaps her fingers], Wear-now-buy-now.
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 would love to work with the artisans and take it to another dimension, the same way I did in Haiti.
Donna Karan
