The NORMA KAMALI brand has a 58 year history in the fashion industry and is known as iconic for its innovative + authentic designs by Norma Kamali:
her Sleeping Bag Coat (first made from her actual sleeping bag in 1973), sweats as ready to wear (grey sweats for women as casual fashion and sportswear in 1980, the precursor to casual Friday), multipurpose wardrobes (styles that can be worn numerous ways, are easy care, and are great for travel), innovative swimwear that influenced many swim lines globally, a patent on high heeled sneakers in 1983, scents for healing, olive oil for health and wellness, and her handbook for women titled "I AM INVINCIBLE." 
 
Norma Kamali has been the owner of her brand since 1967, even before women were given the right to have a bank account in 1974. As an entrepreneur, fashion designer, business owner, and an advocate for women, fitness, health, and beauty, Norma believes her purpose is to dedicate her work to women by helping them reach their potential.
 
Norma’s interest in AI began when studying generative AI at M.I.T and extends to documenting her 58 year archive, which she is using as the security for the brand's past, current, and future designs until infinity, and currently by the personalization of her website using AI tools.
 
Norma has won numerous awards, however, her curiosity is about people and that comes to life on her podcast, NORMAKAMALIFE.
 
Norma’s expertise not only comes from her life experience of 8 decades, but from her research and work in education, longevity, AI, and innovations in fashion, fitness, health, and beauty.
 
Norma is an industry authority and is continuously learning, researching and looking at what we can do today in order to create the opportunities we will have tomorrow.
