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

I worked with a writer, Kathleen Boyce. It was a wonderful experience...but I didn't expect that the last chapter would be the last chapter of Donna Karan. That was probably the biggest shock.

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.

My biggest style regret is that I can't fit into the models' clothes.

Assuming I'm home and don't have an event, I'll have a massage or I'll talk on the phone.

I look in my closet, and if I need it, I design it.

Sometimes it takes a germ of an idea, which takes a long time to digest.
