Fashion designer opens Urban Zen boutique

Fashion designer Donna Karan, creator of the Donna Karan New York and DKNY clothing labels, has opened an Urban Zen pop-up boutique in Aspen.

The 2,500-square-foot store, which will be open through mid-April, is located at 501 E. Dean St. in the retail area of The Residences at The Little Nell and within walking distance of Aspen Mountains Silver Queen Gondola, according to a statement.

Aspen is dear to Karan, the statement said.

Ive spent endless holidays there with my family and have so many friends who live there, she said. My new Urban Zen store is my way of dressing and addressing a community thats given me so much love and enjoyment in the same way as my West Village and Sag Harbor stores.

Alongside womens and mens apparel and leather goods, jewelry, home decor and art, the store features an exclusive collection called Silver Snow, which focuses on white, gray and silver and features cashmere sweaters, sweatpants and leggings, as well as suede, shearling and down pieces.

Urban Zen is a philosophy of living by Karan, the statement said.

It is the calm in the chaos of life. A way of giving. An effortless dance of emotion, personality and lifestyle. Timeless. Seasonless. Endlessly expressive. A connection of mind, body and spirit. Touched and inspired by cultures and craftsmen from around the world. Urban Zen is inspired by the strength and character of people with a passion for life, the statement said.

Urban Zen stores support The Urban Zen Foundation and Urban Zen Integrative Therapy Program.
