In 2015, fashion icon Donna Karan stepped down from her role as chief designer of Donna Karan International and released a memoir, “My Journey,” about her career and personal life. She talked to Marketplace host Kai Ryssdal about why fashion designers need to talk to their customers more; the person who advised her to get into fragrance; and the one item every man and woman should have in their wardrobe.
