Norma Kamali is Simply Amazing

from The Happy Grownup · host Hal Rubenstein

If you are anywhere - a charity event, an AI conference at MIT, or a seafood restaurant in Montauk - and Norma Kamali walks into the room, go sit next to her. I don’t care who you came there with. I don’t care who she came there with. Tell them to shove over and sit yourself down because Norma will always be the most interesting person in the room.Pick any subject - health, exercise, longevity, beauty, AI, the magic of last loves, canned tuna, and of course, fashion - just cue the topic, and first she will engage you. Then she will dazzle you. Finally, she will convert you.Why should you listen to Norma? Because this raven-haired dynamo has generated more more trends in nearly six decades of consistently disruptive fashion design than the entire roster of LVMH. Because She owned her own line when it was a man’s game and has maintained ownership though the game has been taken over by ravenous corporations. Because she knew the value of wellness while most of us were chain-guzzling Diet Coke, because she can still do a full split, because she has a bullshit detector more precise than a diamond cutter, and because she just became a bride again at… well, I’ll let her tell you how old she is… but she hardly looks old enough to qualify for Medicare.Norma is laser focused about her next goal. She is determined to live to be 120. And if you follow her lead, you just might be around to see that she does it.Listen to why my money is on Norma Kamali to blow out those candles. She is this week’s very special guest on The Happy Grownup podcast.
