Donna Karan has been hard at work with Urban Zen. Yesterday, at the Urban Zen Store at 705 Greenwich Street, another celebration was in order for all the work the designer has been doing with Urban Zen collection and foundation. A part of the sales from the retail store go straight to the foundation which is dedicated to “well-being, empowering children and preserving cultures”. The event also featured Starbucks VIA Ready Brew so that guests could perk up if fashion week was getting them a bit…weak.

Last night, Donna Karan’s Urban Zen Foundation previewed its newest exhibit, entitled Nomad: Two Worlds. The foundation’s mission is to spearhead global change at the levels of health, child empowerment, and cultural preservation, while raising money through innovative artistic projects. Russell James‘ current photographic exhibition documents the lives of Aboriginal peoples in his native Australia. The event was hosted by Hugh Jackman, as well as Australian Consul General John Olson, and was attended by a host of New York art and fashion industry heavyweights, including Anna Wintour, Ally Hilfiger, Iman, Carson Kressley, Martha Stewart, Nicole Miller, and Shelby Bryan.
