More quotes by 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?

Design is a constant challenge to balance comfort with luxe, the practical with the desirable.
Donna Karan
I realized I needed to address people, not just dress them.
Donna Karan
Everything in life... has to have balance.

I meditate whenever I can. I can be in the back seat of a car or in between appointments.

[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.

For me, starting each collection is always about what I really want, what I really need, and I was personally dying for sensual comfort. I think when you think of Donna Karan, you think of sensuality, but it's a different kind of sensuality. A kind of comfort sensuality that is one with your body and the way clothes feel on.

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
I've been meditating as part of my yoga practice for so long, I can't remember when I started.
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
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
Now the industry is looking at the change in a very real way - to find ways of talking to the consumer much faster. Everything we have is changing with communication - from fashion to newspapers.
Donna Karan
A fashion victim is dressed in designer clothes from top to bottom.
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
I'd rather promote New York than anything else in this world because New York to me means the world.
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
Pasta is my favorite comfort food, but sometimes my body really wants a steak, and I'll have one.
