Its all about finding the calm in the chaos.

I wanted to create something that would live on forever, beyond my time, and out of that came Cashmere Mist.

I always need a support team, even at Donna Karan. I like collaborating. There is something in collaboration that is wonderful.

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.

I practice yoga and take a steam-filled bath or shower. Then I sit quietly and review and prioritize my to-do list.

I'm not as obsessive-compulsive about certain things; I give a lot of latitude to people and support people. I know that I can't do it myself and that you're only as good as the people you have behind you.

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.
