Norma KamaliFashion Fitness

and Art

By Ronda M Parag

On June 6 in New York City NormaKamali received the Geoffrey BeeneLifetime Achievement Award from theCouncil of Fashion Designers of Americathe highest award a fashion designer canobtain Kamalirsquos fashion career hasspanned five decades and she is a strongchampion of women with a focus on fitness

health beauty style and entrepreneurshipThe new exhibition at the TampaMuseum of Art merges fashion and artNorma Kamali was in Tampa for theopening of the exhibition and METROhad a chance to discuss her inspirationsrecent lifetime achievement award andwhat is next for her

METRO Who amp what influenced you to

become interested in fashion

NORMA KAMALI I initially wanted to be a

painter I loved anatomy and went to school on a

painting scholarship I had a very eccentric

mother who made costumes and she made most

of my clothing that we designed together My

mother created an environment where you could

do and be whatever you wanted There were no

barriers She taught life lessons through example

M What inspires you

NK Passion and inspiration are the lifeblood

of creativity My current passion is inspiring folks to

embrace fitness health beauty and style in order

to reach their potential Lifersquos biggest challenge in

this fast-forward life is finding balance I am proud

and fortunate to have been able to express

myself creatively throughout my career

M How do you know if your fashions will

stand the test of time

NK I started in the 70s by wearing and selling

vintage clothing I loved the fabrics and how I felt

I designed with knits and fabrics that could sculpt

and expand The designs allowed women to wear

in different ways mdash off the shoulder one shoulder

various necklines etc Style is more important than

fashion When you understand personal style you

are timeless

M Tell us about the famous red one-piece

swimsuit worn by Farrah Fawcett

NK Farrah actually was carrying the red suit

in her bag when a photographer friend Bruce

McBroom suggested taking some photos on the

beach It wasnrsquot one of my favorites and actually

I get way too much credit for something that I

really donrsquot deserve

M What is next for Norma Kamali

NK This is a disruptive time in history so we

need to think about reinvention I need to tell

people who and what we are and what we (the

Norma Kamali brand) are about Irsquom focusing on

fitness health beauty and style

Norma Kamali ndashCITY Fashion+Art+Culture

will be on exhibit at the Tampa Museum of Art through September 25 2016

and Art

By Ronda M Parag

On June 6 in New York City NormaKamali received the Geoffrey BeeneLifetime Achievement Award from theCouncil of Fashion Designers of Americathe highest award a fashion designer canobtain Kamalirsquos fashion career hasspanned five decades and she is a strongchampion of women with a focus on fitness

health beauty style and entrepreneurshipThe new exhibition at the TampaMuseum of Art merges fashion and artNorma Kamali was in Tampa for theopening of the exhibition and METROhad a chance to discuss her inspirationsrecent lifetime achievement award andwhat is next for her

METRO Who amp what influenced you to

become interested in fashion

NORMA KAMALI I initially wanted to be a

painter I loved anatomy and went to school on a

painting scholarship I had a very eccentric

mother who made costumes and she made most

of my clothing that we designed together My

mother created an environment where you could

do and be whatever you wanted There were no

barriers She taught life lessons through example

M What inspires you

NK Passion and inspiration are the lifeblood

of creativity My current passion is inspiring folks to

embrace fitness health beauty and style in order

to reach their potential Lifersquos biggest challenge in

this fast-forward life is finding balance I am proud

and fortunate to have been able to express

myself creatively throughout my career

M How do you know if your fashions will

stand the test of time

NK I started in the 70s by wearing and selling

vintage clothing I loved the fabrics and how I felt

I designed with knits and fabrics that could sculpt

and expand The designs allowed women to wear

in different ways mdash off the shoulder one shoulder

various necklines etc Style is more important than

fashion When you understand personal style you

are timeless

M Tell us about the famous red one-piece

swimsuit worn by Farrah Fawcett

NK Farrah actually was carrying the red suit

in her bag when a photographer friend Bruce

McBroom suggested taking some photos on the

beach It wasnrsquot one of my favorites and actually

I get way too much credit for something that I

really donrsquot deserve

M What is next for Norma Kamali

NK This is a disruptive time in history so we

need to think about reinvention I need to tell

people who and what we are and what we (the

Norma Kamali brand) are about Irsquom focusing on

fitness health beauty and style

Norma Kamali ndashCITY Fashion+Art+Culture

will be on exhibit at the Tampa Museum of Art through September 25 2016

Norma KamaliFashion Fitness

and Art

By Ronda M Parag

On June 6 in New York City NormaKamali received the Geoffrey BeeneLifetime Achievement Award from theCouncil of Fashion Designers of Americathe highest award a fashion designer canobtain Kamalirsquos fashion career hasspanned five decades and she is a strongchampion of women with a focus on fitness

health beauty style and entrepreneurshipThe new exhibition at the TampaMuseum of Art merges fashion and artNorma Kamali was in Tampa for theopening of the exhibition and METROhad a chance to discuss her inspirationsrecent lifetime achievement award andwhat is next for her

METRO Who amp what influenced you to

become interested in fashion

NORMA KAMALI I initially wanted to be a

painter I loved anatomy and went to school on a

painting scholarship I had a very eccentric

mother who made costumes and she made most

of my clothing that we designed together My

mother created an environment where you could

do and be whatever you wanted There were no

barriers She taught life lessons through example

M What inspires you

NK Passion and inspiration are the lifeblood

of creativity My current passion is inspiring folks to

embrace fitness health beauty and style in order

to reach their potential Lifersquos biggest challenge in

this fast-forward life is finding balance I am proud

and fortunate to have been able to express

myself creatively throughout my career

M How do you know if your fashions will

stand the test of time

NK I started in the 70s by wearing and selling

vintage clothing I loved the fabrics and how I felt

I designed with knits and fabrics that could sculpt

and expand The designs allowed women to wear

in different ways mdash off the shoulder one shoulder

various necklines etc Style is more important than

fashion When you understand personal style you

are timeless

M Tell us about the famous red one-piece

swimsuit worn by Farrah Fawcett

NK Farrah actually was carrying the red suit

in her bag when a photographer friend Bruce

McBroom suggested taking some photos on the

beach It wasnrsquot one of my favorites and actually

I get way too much credit for something that I

really donrsquot deserve

M What is next for Norma Kamali

NK This is a disruptive time in history so we

need to think about reinvention I need to tell

people who and what we are and what we (the

Norma Kamali brand) are about Irsquom focusing on

fitness health beauty and style

Norma Kamali ndashCITY Fashion+Art+Culture

will be on exhibit at the Tampa Museum of Art through September 25 2016

Norma KamaliFashion Fitness

and Art

By Ronda M Parag

On June 6 in New York City NormaKamali received the Geoffrey BeeneLifetime Achievement Award from theCouncil of Fashion Designers of Americathe highest award a fashion designer canobtain Kamalirsquos fashion career hasspanned five decades and she is a strongchampion of women with a focus on fitness

health beauty style and entrepreneurshipThe new exhibition at the TampaMuseum of Art merges fashion and artNorma Kamali was in Tampa for theopening of the exhibition and METROhad a chance to discuss her inspirationsrecent lifetime achievement award andwhat is next for her

METRO Who amp what influenced you to

become interested in fashion

NORMA KAMALI I initially wanted to be a

painter I loved anatomy and went to school on a

painting scholarship I had a very eccentric

mother who made costumes and she made most

of my clothing that we designed together My

mother created an environment where you could

do and be whatever you wanted There were no

barriers She taught life lessons through example

M What inspires you

NK Passion and inspiration are the lifeblood

of creativity My current passion is inspiring folks to

embrace fitness health beauty and style in order

to reach their potential Lifersquos biggest challenge in

this fast-forward life is finding balance I am proud

and fortunate to have been able to express

myself creatively throughout my career

M How do you know if your fashions will

stand the test of time

NK I started in the 70s by wearing and selling

vintage clothing I loved the fabrics and how I felt

I designed with knits and fabrics that could sculpt

and expand The designs allowed women to wear

in different ways mdash off the shoulder one shoulder

various necklines etc Style is more important than

fashion When you understand personal style you

are timeless

M Tell us about the famous red one-piece

swimsuit worn by Farrah Fawcett

NK Farrah actually was carrying the red suit

in her bag when a photographer friend Bruce

McBroom suggested taking some photos on the

beach It wasnrsquot one of my favorites and actually

I get way too much credit for something that I

really donrsquot deserve

M What is next for Norma Kamali

NK This is a disruptive time in history so we

need to think about reinvention I need to tell

people who and what we are and what we (the

Norma Kamali brand) are about Irsquom focusing on

fitness health beauty and style

Norma Kamali ndashCITY Fashion+Art+Culture

will be on exhibit at the Tampa Museum of Art through September 25 2016

and Art

By Ronda M Parag

On June 6 in New York City NormaKamali received the Geoffrey BeeneLifetime Achievement Award from theCouncil of Fashion Designers of Americathe highest award a fashion designer canobtain Kamalirsquos fashion career hasspanned five decades and she is a strongchampion of women with a focus on fitness

health beauty style and entrepreneurshipThe new exhibition at the TampaMuseum of Art merges fashion and artNorma Kamali was in Tampa for theopening of the exhibition and METROhad a chance to discuss her inspirationsrecent lifetime achievement award andwhat is next for her

METRO Who amp what influenced you to

become interested in fashion

NORMA KAMALI I initially wanted to be a

painter I loved anatomy and went to school on a

painting scholarship I had a very eccentric

mother who made costumes and she made most

of my clothing that we designed together My

mother created an environment where you could

do and be whatever you wanted There were no

barriers She taught life lessons through example

M What inspires you

NK Passion and inspiration are the lifeblood

of creativity My current passion is inspiring folks to

embrace fitness health beauty and style in order

to reach their potential Lifersquos biggest challenge in

this fast-forward life is finding balance I am proud

and fortunate to have been able to express

myself creatively throughout my career

M How do you know if your fashions will

stand the test of time

NK I started in the 70s by wearing and selling

vintage clothing I loved the fabrics and how I felt

I designed with knits and fabrics that could sculpt

and expand The designs allowed women to wear

in different ways mdash off the shoulder one shoulder

various necklines etc Style is more important than

fashion When you understand personal style you

are timeless

M Tell us about the famous red one-piece

swimsuit worn by Farrah Fawcett

NK Farrah actually was carrying the red suit

in her bag when a photographer friend Bruce

McBroom suggested taking some photos on the

beach It wasnrsquot one of my favorites and actually

I get way too much credit for something that I

really donrsquot deserve

M What is next for Norma Kamali

NK This is a disruptive time in history so we

need to think about reinvention I need to tell

people who and what we are and what we (the

Norma Kamali brand) are about Irsquom focusing on

fitness health beauty and style

Norma Kamali ndashCITY Fashion+Art+Culture

will be on exhibit at the Tampa Museum of Art through September 25 2016

Norma KamaliFashion Fitness

and Art

By Ronda M Parag

On June 6 in New York City NormaKamali received the Geoffrey BeeneLifetime Achievement Award from theCouncil of Fashion Designers of Americathe highest award a fashion designer canobtain Kamalirsquos fashion career hasspanned five decades and she is a strongchampion of women with a focus on fitness

health beauty style and entrepreneurshipThe new exhibition at the TampaMuseum of Art merges fashion and artNorma Kamali was in Tampa for theopening of the exhibition and METROhad a chance to discuss her inspirationsrecent lifetime achievement award andwhat is next for her

METRO Who amp what influenced you to

become interested in fashion

NORMA KAMALI I initially wanted to be a

painter I loved anatomy and went to school on a

painting scholarship I had a very eccentric

mother who made costumes and she made most

of my clothing that we designed together My

mother created an environment where you could

do and be whatever you wanted There were no

barriers She taught life lessons through example

M What inspires you

NK Passion and inspiration are the lifeblood

of creativity My current passion is inspiring folks to

embrace fitness health beauty and style in order

to reach their potential Lifersquos biggest challenge in

this fast-forward life is finding balance I am proud

and fortunate to have been able to express

myself creatively throughout my career

M How do you know if your fashions will

stand the test of time

NK I started in the 70s by wearing and selling

vintage clothing I loved the fabrics and how I felt

I designed with knits and fabrics that could sculpt

and expand The designs allowed women to wear

in different ways mdash off the shoulder one shoulder

various necklines etc Style is more important than

fashion When you understand personal style you

are timeless

M Tell us about the famous red one-piece

swimsuit worn by Farrah Fawcett

NK Farrah actually was carrying the red suit

in her bag when a photographer friend Bruce

McBroom suggested taking some photos on the

beach It wasnrsquot one of my favorites and actually

I get way too much credit for something that I

really donrsquot deserve

M What is next for Norma Kamali

NK This is a disruptive time in history so we

need to think about reinvention I need to tell

people who and what we are and what we (the

Norma Kamali brand) are about Irsquom focusing on

fitness health beauty and style

Norma Kamali ndashCITY Fashion+Art+Culture

will be on exhibit at the Tampa Museum of Art through September 25 2016

Norma KamaliFashion Fitness

and Art

By Ronda M Parag

On June 6 in New York City NormaKamali received the Geoffrey BeeneLifetime Achievement Award from theCouncil of Fashion Designers of Americathe highest award a fashion designer canobtain Kamalirsquos fashion career hasspanned five decades and she is a strongchampion of women with a focus on fitness

health beauty style and entrepreneurshipThe new exhibition at the TampaMuseum of Art merges fashion and artNorma Kamali was in Tampa for theopening of the exhibition and METROhad a chance to discuss her inspirationsrecent lifetime achievement award andwhat is next for her

METRO Who amp what influenced you to

become interested in fashion

NORMA KAMALI I initially wanted to be a

painter I loved anatomy and went to school on a

painting scholarship I had a very eccentric

mother who made costumes and she made most

of my clothing that we designed together My

mother created an environment where you could

do and be whatever you wanted There were no

barriers She taught life lessons through example

M What inspires you

NK Passion and inspiration are the lifeblood

of creativity My current passion is inspiring folks to

embrace fitness health beauty and style in order

to reach their potential Lifersquos biggest challenge in

this fast-forward life is finding balance I am proud

and fortunate to have been able to express

myself creatively throughout my career

M How do you know if your fashions will

stand the test of time

NK I started in the 70s by wearing and selling

vintage clothing I loved the fabrics and how I felt

I designed with knits and fabrics that could sculpt

and expand The designs allowed women to wear

in different ways mdash off the shoulder one shoulder

various necklines etc Style is more important than

fashion When you understand personal style you

are timeless

M Tell us about the famous red one-piece

swimsuit worn by Farrah Fawcett

NK Farrah actually was carrying the red suit

in her bag when a photographer friend Bruce

McBroom suggested taking some photos on the

beach It wasnrsquot one of my favorites and actually

I get way too much credit for something that I

really donrsquot deserve

M What is next for Norma Kamali

NK This is a disruptive time in history so we

need to think about reinvention I need to tell

people who and what we are and what we (the

Norma Kamali brand) are about Irsquom focusing on

fitness health beauty and style

Norma Kamali ndashCITY Fashion+Art+Culture

will be on exhibit at the Tampa Museum of Art through September 25 2016

and Art

By Ronda M Parag

On June 6 in New York City NormaKamali received the Geoffrey BeeneLifetime Achievement Award from theCouncil of Fashion Designers of Americathe highest award a fashion designer canobtain Kamalirsquos fashion career hasspanned five decades and she is a strongchampion of women with a focus on fitness

health beauty style and entrepreneurshipThe new exhibition at the TampaMuseum of Art merges fashion and artNorma Kamali was in Tampa for theopening of the exhibition and METROhad a chance to discuss her inspirationsrecent lifetime achievement award andwhat is next for her

METRO Who amp what influenced you to

become interested in fashion

NORMA KAMALI I initially wanted to be a

painter I loved anatomy and went to school on a

painting scholarship I had a very eccentric

mother who made costumes and she made most

of my clothing that we designed together My

mother created an environment where you could

do and be whatever you wanted There were no

barriers She taught life lessons through example

M What inspires you

NK Passion and inspiration are the lifeblood

of creativity My current passion is inspiring folks to

embrace fitness health beauty and style in order

to reach their potential Lifersquos biggest challenge in

this fast-forward life is finding balance I am proud

and fortunate to have been able to express

myself creatively throughout my career

M How do you know if your fashions will

stand the test of time

NK I started in the 70s by wearing and selling

vintage clothing I loved the fabrics and how I felt

I designed with knits and fabrics that could sculpt

and expand The designs allowed women to wear

in different ways mdash off the shoulder one shoulder

various necklines etc Style is more important than

fashion When you understand personal style you

are timeless

M Tell us about the famous red one-piece

swimsuit worn by Farrah Fawcett

NK Farrah actually was carrying the red suit

in her bag when a photographer friend Bruce

McBroom suggested taking some photos on the

beach It wasnrsquot one of my favorites and actually

I get way too much credit for something that I

really donrsquot deserve

M What is next for Norma Kamali

NK This is a disruptive time in history so we

need to think about reinvention I need to tell

people who and what we are and what we (the

Norma Kamali brand) are about Irsquom focusing on

fitness health beauty and style

Norma Kamali ndashCITY Fashion+Art+Culture

By Ronda M Parag

On June 6 in New York City NormaKamali received the Geoffrey BeeneLifetime Achievement Award from theCouncil of Fashion Designers of Americathe highest award a fashion designer canobtain Kamalirsquos fashion career hasspanned five decades and she is a strongchampion of women with a focus on fitness

health beauty style and entrepreneurshipThe new exhibition at the TampaMuseum of Art merges fashion and artNorma Kamali was in Tampa for theopening of the exhibition and METROhad a chance to discuss her inspirationsrecent lifetime achievement award andwhat is next for her

METRO Who amp what influenced you to

become interested in fashion

NORMA KAMALI I initially wanted to be a

painter I loved anatomy and went to school on a

painting scholarship I had a very eccentric

mother who made costumes and she made most

of my clothing that we designed together My

mother created an environment where you could

do and be whatever you wanted There were no

barriers She taught life lessons through example

M What inspires you

NK Passion and inspiration are the lifeblood

of creativity My current passion is inspiring folks to

embrace fitness health beauty and style in order

to reach their potential Lifersquos biggest challenge in

this fast-forward life is finding balance I am proud

and fortunate to have been able to express

myself creatively throughout my career

M How do you know if your fashions will

stand the test of time

NK I started in the 70s by wearing and selling

vintage clothing I loved the fabrics and how I felt

I designed with knits and fabrics that could sculpt

and expand The designs allowed women to wear

in different ways mdash off the shoulder one shoulder

various necklines etc Style is more important than

fashion When you understand personal style you

are timeless

M Tell us about the famous red one-piece

swimsuit worn by Farrah Fawcett

NK Farrah actually was carrying the red suit

in her bag when a photographer friend Bruce

McBroom suggested taking some photos on the

beach It wasnrsquot one of my favorites and actually

I get way too much credit for something that I

really donrsquot deserve

M What is next for Norma Kamali

NK This is a disruptive time in history so we

need to think about reinvention I need to tell

people who and what we are and what we (the

Norma Kamali brand) are about Irsquom focusing on

fitness health beauty and style

Norma Kamali ndashCITY Fashion+Art+Culture

will be on exhibit at the Tampa Museum of Art through September 25 2016
