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.

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

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!

Everything comes out of what works for me.

Meditation is the calm in the chaos, the fastest way to settle down and get in touch with the stillness within.

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

I meditate whenever I can. I can be in the back seat of a car or in between appointments.
