S11 E06: Norma Kamali, Fashion Designer and Owner of Norma Kamali, Inc.

Legendary fashion designer Norma Kamali joins Scott Kerr to talk about the journey of running her own business for over 50 years, her enthusiasm for technology, and her continuous drive to learn and create. Famously known for her innovative designs like the "sleeping bag" coat and "parachute dress", Kamali, now 78, discusses her approach to designing clothes that are timeless, why she embraced e-commerce before the rest of the fashion industry, and building a custom AI tool to preserve her design legacy. She also talks about how the 80s AIDS epidemic inspired her to put health and wellness at the heart of her brand and what the key is to building a strong brand identity. Plus: Why Norma Kamali returned her Apple Vision Pro soon after she purchased it
