Designer Donna Karan has revealed how she managed to avoid falling prey to the stressful 'chaos' of living and working in New York City, while creating three globally-successful fashion labels. In an interview with The New Potato, the 66-year-old admits that, while New York has helped to inspire and influence her clothing designs, the madness of city living can sometimes prove too much. Speaking about her newly-launched clothing and accessories line Urban Zen, which is targeted at an older audience than her popular DKNY designs, Donna explains how she has slowed the pace of her own often-manic lifestyle and carved out her own peaceful sanctuary in the heart of New York.
