Donna Karan is on the December cover of Architectural Digest discussing her Balinese health resort-inspired vacation home in the Turks and Caicos—a gift to her late husband, Stephan Weiss.
Karan uses the Parrot Cay retreat (equipped with a yoga pavilion and a spa villa) as a personal sanctuary and a place to feature the organic home furnishings sold to benefit her Urban Zen Foundation. Karan started the foundation in her husband's memory to promote the integration of Eastern healing with Western medicine. Her three Urban Zen store locations—in New York City, Sag Harbor, and Ketchum, Idaho—offer everything from clothing and accessories to coffee and photography, and a percentage of all sales is donated to the charity.

Textile aficionado Johanne Mills got her start in the industry when Donna Karan bought her entire graduate range and hired her to work as a creative director and project manager for the company. Over the next five years with Donna Karan, Mills also consulted on textiles and accessories for Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Luella, Hugo Boss, and Matthew Williamson. Later in her career, in 2003, Mills went on to work with Giles Deacon on a project that involved embroidering crystals and stones into garments. It was at this point that she started to pursue jewelry design and the rest, as they say, is history. Mills current collection addresses her ongoing interest in voluminous and natural forms, while blending unusual materials like wood, Swarovski crystal, cork, leather, and hand-crafted knotted fabrics.
