I feel very strongly about dresses on every level - a dress feels like underpinning.

Originally, back in 1992, DKNY started because I couldn't find a pair of jeans. I also wanted to dress my teenage daughter Gabby. So it was the perfect street wardrobe: jeans, anoraks, jumpsuits, boyfriend jackets, sweaters, skirts and dresses. Then DKNY grew into an entire lifestyle concept, including tailored clothes you wear to work.

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

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 design from instinct. It's the only way I know how to live. What feels good. What feels right. What is needed. Give me a problem and I will approach it creatively, from my gut.
