"I honor the unique and beautiful traditions found all over the world. My love and appreciation of rich cultural diversity have always inspired my design aesthetic. However, as globalization becomes progressively widespread, I am increasingly concerned about homogenization and loss of ancient traditions. Urban Zen Foundation seeks to raise awareness and support for programs that ensure these cultures flourish so that our future generation can learn and be inspired." - DONNA KARAN Our goal is to help cultures maintain their natural essence and identity in the face of globalization. We connect with programs that help communities preserve their unique cultural and spiritual values and allow us to celebrate their creativity and craft through sustainable means.
