More quotes by 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 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
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 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 like the idea of having many different ways to express myself. There is a part of me as an artist and a creator who would like to express myself in many different ways. But then at the same time I know I have limited hours in the day, and I can only do so much successfully.
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
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 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
My spiritual connection is about embracing everything around me. We're all the same. There are no boundaries . . .
Donna Karan
I love working in the markets, I love working with fabric. So I'm not that conditioned to one thing.
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
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 never see one woman when I design, it's always a universe of women
Donna Karan
Design and style should work toward making you look good and feel good without a lot of effort so you can get on with the things that matter.
Donna Karan
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
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 love green juices, soups, and salads. I also love dark chocolate.
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
Usually I do a practice in the morning first and then meditate. I'm fortunate that I can do it in a car, in a bus, in a plane.
Donna Karan
You have to keep your eyes and heart open - there are always new things to discover, new problems to solve.
Donna Karan
