I Feel Very Strongly About

Design And Style Should Work Toward Making You Look Good And Feel Good Without A Lot Of Effort So You Can Get On With The Things That Matter.

I Did Urban Zen For Myself, To Make Clothes For Me And My Friends, A Similar Philosophy To When I Started Donna Karan. Except This Time I Hope It Will Stay That Way So That I Will Be Able To Support Young Designers And Mentor Them.

Now The Industry Is Looking At The Change In A Very Real Way - To Find Ways Of Talking To The Consumer Much Faster. Everything We Have Is Changing With Communication - From Fashion To Newspapers.

Basically, I Was A Hippie And Still Am A Flower Child.

I Can't Tell You How Much I Appreciate These Young [israeli] Designers. There's Too Much Strife In The World. If We Become United In Our Creativity, Not Only In What We Wear, But What We Do, We Will Change The World. It's Truly An Honor To Be Around Such Inspiration.
