creativity hopeful there-is-hope
Where there is creativity, there is hope.
children flower hippie
Basically, I was a hippie and still am a flower child.
spiritual memories powerful
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.
children i-love-my-family family-and-friends
I love skiing, I love the sun, I love my children, I love my grandchildren, I love my family and friends... and whatever I haven't done.
yoga practice meditation
I start my day with a mind, body, soul practice - yoga, Pilates or meditation.
yoga balance needs
It used to be only yoga, but now I do Pilates as well; I feel like I need the balance.
people support missing
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?"
husband who-i-am creative
I wouldn't be who I am without my husband, who handled the business end of Donna Karan so I could be creative.
yoga class lines
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.
numbers stuff negotiation
Business, numbers, negotiations, all that stuff I wouldn't go near.
morning practice car
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.
fashion levels dresses
I feel very strongly about dresses on every level - a dress feels like underpinning.
forever cashmere mist
I wanted to create something that would live on forever, beyond my time, and out of that came Cashmere Mist.
calm chaos findings
Its all about finding the calm in the chaos.
