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.

I wouldn't be who I am without my husband, who handled the business end of Donna Karan so I could be creative.

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

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

I'd rather promote New York than anything else in this world because New York to me means the world.

It used to be only yoga, but now I do Pilates as well; I feel like I need the balance.

I think it's changing is that business is not as good as it was and it has become a real question in the world of fashion. You see, bags and shoes don't take on the seasonal quality that fashion does. A black leather bag can be good in any season, but you can't say the same about fashion, particularly about fabrication.
