We want to be Norma Kamali when we grow up. If you haven’t listened to Garance’s Pardon My French podcast with Norma, we highly suggest listening to it here.
And of course we couldn’t resist asking Norma a few pressing questions surrounding Le Credo of her life. Enjoy!
What is typically your first thought when you wake up?
What ever happened the day before this new day is a new opportunity.
How do you cultivate joy in your life?
Dance, sing (Karaoke), laugh find comedy and people who are funny, adopt a pet, in order to practice unconditional love and show gratitude for love ones and kindness.

To follow my purpose.

KNOW THYSELF from my sixth grade teacher.

To have unlimited opportunity to be creative in everything I do.
Who was your biggest influence as a child and why?
My mother by far was one of the most creative people I ever met in my lifetime.
How did your first love change you?

What makes you cry?
People who have passed who are part of my history.
What gives you hope right now?
Disruption creates the opportunity for innovative ideas and methods that change people’s lives forever!
