More quotes by 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
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
Design is a constant challenge to balance comfort with luxe, the practical with the desirable.
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
I meditate whenever I can. I can be in the back seat of a car or in between appointments.
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 wouldn't be who I am without my husband, who handled the business end of Donna Karan so I could be creative.
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
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
I love working in the markets, I love working with fabric. So I'm not that conditioned to one thing.
Donna Karan
Fragrance is the first layer of dressing, a woman's invisible body suit.
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
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
Evening is a time of real experimentation. You never want to look the same way.
Donna Karan
A fashion victim is dressed in designer clothes from top to bottom.
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
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
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 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
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.
