I'm more eclectic.Maybe I'm minimalist in the respect that I love black...black for the winter, white for the summer, you know? But I love artisanal things.

I also miss the support that I had of so many people. You know I'm a very Ma and Pa operation right now, and I was used to having everything working for me. It was a similar situation when I left Anne Klein and started Donna Karan. All of a sudden I was working in my apartment and it was, "Oh my god, what am I doing?"

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

I like the idea of having many different ways to express myself. There is a part of me as an artist and a creator who would like to express myself in many different ways. But then at the same time I know I have limited hours in the day, and I can only do so much successfully.

Where there is creativity there is hope and Haiti is the most hopeful place I've experienced

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

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