Norma Kamali

Oh my goodness, this woman is hot stuff! Norma began her brand over 50 years ago and she is still relevant today at age 75. Guy Raz strikes gold with this interview on the “How I Built This” podcast with the airline sales clerk turned clothing designer. The “sleeping bag” coat and the bold, red bathing-suit popularized by Farah Fawcett (remember how everyone had that poster?) are just two of her iconic designs. I adored hearing all of Kamali’s stories that illustrate a passionate woman who was guided by instinct - from being raised in NYC to spending time in London in the 60’s to her transformation from unknown brand to designer to the stars - this is a special interview.
