norma kamali health wellness

At age 76, Norma Kamali is the fashion designer behind au courant street style looks (hello, Carrie Bradshaw) and an inspiration to wellness devotees everywhere with her svelte frame, clean lifestyle and through-the-roof energy levels. That’s what we like to call ‘goals’.

As a designer, Norma serves timeless looks that women from 20 to 80 are wearing to dinner (it’s all about this asymmetrical dress). And as a wellness icon, she’s a non-stop source of information and inspiration, recently formalizing her influence through a virtual Wellness Cafe.

The cafe began inside her NYC store in 2001, a hybrid toolkit slash marketplace inspired by Norma’s decades’ long love affair with wellness. Now 20 years later — as a testament to the longevity of her personal healthy values — Norma’s ‘cafe’ offers content from her best-selling book, I Am Invincible, insights from holistic experts, and a curated marketplace of authentic recommendations from Norma. The cafe will also offer exclusive access to her personal workout – The Routine – developed by Norma and her trainer, a former Physique 57 instructor.

We needed to know as much as possible from the beloved lifestyle icon and asked her to join our Living Well With… series. Read on for Kamali’s practical, accessible advice…
