Norma Kamali Inc.
Norma Kamali began her business in 1967 as a shop owner making styles in her sample room, and selling from her retail store. Her goal from that first day as an entrepreneur up until today was to have the freedom to be creative, and to use that creativity to design styles for women to make them feel good. Norma Kamali is not just a designer. She is an innovator. An inventor. The sleeping bag coat, the high-heeled sneaker and the parachute collection are all iconic Kamali looks. In 1980, she was the first to present the innovative sweats and active sportswear collection as core parts of her brand, where they remain today. Her influential swimwear is recognized globally as highly directional and has remained an influence in the market for decades. The KamaliKulture collection of affordable styles are all easy care, require no dry cleaning and are great for travel and the modern lifestyle. Norma is the 2016 recipient of CFDA's Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award. She has won numerous awards for fashion, film, interior design, and architecture. She has also received honors from the White House for her work with public schools, and a wide assortment of pro-education organizations. The Wellness Café, the products in the cafe, as well as the information and guidance Norma provides her followers is another aspect of her connection to women. By informing women on topics that relate to self-esteem, and body image, she feels their confidence can develop. A healthy body translates to a healthy mind and spirit. This is an empowered woman. Her Stop Objectification campaign focuses on the unique experiences a woman has regarding objectification - issues that affect women worldwide. Her goal is to rid women of the stigma left behind by those experiences. http://brand.normakamali.com/chronoBio.html https://www.instagram.com/normakamali/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NormaKamali Twitter: @normakamali https://twitter.com/normakamali
