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

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

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

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

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
