If you know Donna Karan as DK, you will know her for the legendary 'Seven Easy Pieces' - Bodysuit, skirt, tailored jacket, dress, something leather, white shirt and a cashmere sweater. This was Donna's creation in 1985, where fashion was her means to convey the personality and sensuality of a women. Her creations were much ahead of its time.
Today, Donna Karan is the founder of Urban Zen, a brand purely created to combine conscious consumerism and design to balm the community's wellness and social impact. Inspired by the Eastern cultures of this world, Urban Zen is a space for ease, wellness and even some timeless clothing. The brand is meant to elevate your inner peace with ready-to-wear dresses, home decor and even furniture. Based on DK's philosophy towards life, she worked on this brand with a genuine intention to raise the Urban Zen Foundation which is a Non-profit organisation devoted to raising awareness and inspiring changes in areas of healthcare, persevering culture, empowering the mind, body and soul of children. In a conversation with T&C, she discussed that, "I have always wanted a store where the product supported a foundation, but of course Urban Zen is so much more than that".
