Donna Karan quotes about
fashion strong women
Today, fashion is really about sensuality-how a woman feels on the inside. In the '80s women used suits with exaggerated shoulders and waists to make a strong impression. Women are now more comfortable with themselves and their bodies-they no longer feel the need to hide behind their clothes.
fashion design challenges
Design is a constant challenge to balance comfort with luxe, the practical with the desirable.
husband caring nurse
There's such a void in the medical system. When my husband was sick, it became very apparent to me that the nurses were doing the doctor's job, and the doctors were doing the disease job, so no one was caring for the patient and the loved one.
clothes style individuality
Personal Style comes from within. It's when the woman, her individuality and spirit come through. She uses clothes to express who she is and how she feels
body layers firsts
Fragrance is the first layer of dressing, a woman's invisible body suit.
journey my-favorite havens
My favorite journey is anywhere I haven't been
yoga practice clothes
My bodysuit is how I start everyday. I wear a bodysuit everyday of my life. It's how I start my yoga practice. It's underneath it all. For me, what goes under the clothes is as important as what goes on top of the clothes. It's a layering aspect, so it's inside.
fashion designer-clothes victim
A fashion victim is dressed in designer clothes from top to bottom.
philosophy clothes support
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.
color black illusion
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.
power long way
We've come a long way. Power dressing now is designed to let the woman inside us come through.
creative creative-solutions problem
Every problem has a creative solution.
design one-woman universe
I never see one woman when I design, it's always a universe of women
