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."

I feel very strongly about dresses on every level - a dress feels like underpinning.

Wellness is a state of mind, body, and spirit. When the three are in alignment, you feel balanced and energized. You have more to give of yourself creatively and to your loved ones. That's what we all strive for.

I sit quietly and repeat my mantra until I'm in a meditative state, taking it all in but not focusing on any one thing.

I start my day with a mind, body, soul practice - yoga, pilates or meditation.

Design is a constant challenge to balance comfort with luxe, the practical with the desirable.

I love green juices, soups, and salads. I also love dark chocolate.
