Urban Zen
Urban Zen is the brainchild of the indefatigable Donna Karan. After a long and hugely successful career in the mainstream fashion industry, this iconic designer was expected to retire, handing the reins over to some carefully chosen acolyte, or up and coming hot new name. Instead however, as a result of her husband and partner, St she went through a personal transformation and rebirth, with one of the outward symbols, the birth of the Urban Zen Centre and Foundation. Through the painful death of her partner Stephen Weiss from lung cancer, Donna learned first hand, that the things that alleviated his suffering were alternative therapies such as yoga and breath work, along with simply listening and caring.
Founded in 2008 in collaboration with designer Sonja Nuttal, Karan reportedly donated $850,000 from the sale of vintage samples at her late husband’s studio, to New York’s Beth Isreal Medical Center to finance research on the benefits of yoga, meditation and aromatherapy, practiced alongside the traditional cancer treatments of chemotherapy and radiation.
