Summary

Wow. What do I even say? I’m sure most of you have heard of Norma Kamali for her clothing but this woman is literally a New York City icon. Norma Kamali was born and raised in New York - a tried and true city woman - she started her business over 50 years ago and she's just as, if not more, relevant than she's ever been. She's 76, looks 40, her clothes are simply perfect and they are well priced. Normalife and her cafe offer products from olive oil to skincare that aid in keeping you healthy and glowing. There was so much I wanted to ask and know, but I got in what I could in an hour - she tells me about her first job interview, working at an airline, the vast age range of her customer, why she never left New York, and her key tips for balancing stress and staying healthy. Enjoy!
