Norma Kamali: I Am Invincible

My sister worked in Manhattan in the early 80s and was a huge fan of Norma. I was much younger but recall the fabulous fashion that she produced and continues to produce. She is a true artist. I bought this book after hearing her speak on the How I Built This podcast as her interview was fascinating and she is truly an inspiration in life and aging. The book was a trip down memory lane, with good advice that was part mentor, part good friend, part mom. All of it was practical and stuff that’s worked for her! That doesn’t mean it will all work for you so take the nuggets of wisdom that do and leave the rest! And she is a swimsuit designer folks- thus the model wearing her swimsuits throughout the book. Norma is a person who fasts, eats clean and exercises so the model is somewhat of a representative of her work and herself. I don’t think that it says anything other than how she views her art- which is best shown by a fashion model. Let’s stop judging others for being themselves. She is doing Norma and tell us to do us. All good. Keep showing up and helping us do the same Norma. Namaste.

Hello My Love.This book is a bible for a good life, the @normakamali way. Her "Three Pillars" -- sleep, diet, exercise -- should be what we all follow and let the rest fall into place.Full disclosure: if there was an inspiration board for my life, Norma Kamali would be on it, larger than life. A dress of her design was the first fashion piece I ever bought in the 1980s when I had no business buying designer fashion pieces. I wore her swimwear with pride forever. And we shared a mutual friend, beloved to us both. Too much about me...The book... part how-to, part memoir, part self-help. It's not preachy, nor is it pushing product or name drop-ey. There is just the right balance of all of those things, which feels super disciplined.You can breeze through it in a day or two, but I suspect I will probably tab some pages and turn to it often.

It felt like a ride on the Express train, All speeded up, As amazing as she is, and she is amazing I couldn’t relate. I am the same age have been a Yogi for decades, and actually follow a healthy diet, so I am an acolyte. I love sleep too but sometimes it evades me.What bothered me was the formatting, and all the pix of the perfect Uber skinny model throughout. Oh yeah and also it just felt so exclusive and entitled, though I adore that Norma is open to always reinventing herself. She is a bright light on the planet and I know like Tao Porchon Lynch, whom I knew and also adored, Norma will make it to 100! Kudos girl keep dancing🙏🏻

Everything is as it was advertisedThank you

An inspiration through the decades of your life. And if you are a womanpreneur there is solid and easy to follow advice.

Purchased 2 books for myself and my mom who has been following Norma Kamali since the 70s! I found out about Norma Kamali within the last year when searching for a classy dress for an event. I have been in love with her designs ever since. SOOO excited when I found out she had a book coming out, I pre-ordered asap! Great book and tons of information! Keep your highlighter handy! When this book is back in Stock I will be buying more for my friends. All women need this book!

I was so disappointed to read this book. I ordered three - 2 of them I sent to friends. We are all a bit younger but not too much younger than Norma and I have admired her clothing through the years. So I couldn't wait to have my friends receive the book. Maybe it was just us...but....the format reminded me of the 70s, I think it was meant to be avant garde but it felt dated.Norma herself is beautiful and has taken very good care of herself. I really am happy for her her. I simply wasn't inspired to apply any of what she is doing...I think that's it...the book is all about Norma, not an invitation to go along on the journey,

I bought this book a couple weeks ago and I have already been so inspired to eat healthy , Sleep more and work out at 4:30pm.! I want to be Norma (pictured above) at age 75! She is truly walking the walk. I actually called her PR office and asked if she would be on my podcast and share her story on unplug live streaming! Can't wait to share this book with everyone. Thank you Norma Kamali for sharing your story!

Just what I wanted

Me he gustado el layout y manera que esta escrito - es mas bien una historia de su vida, y como se encuentra tan fuerte con mas edad( tiene 75 años) por su manera de vivir y inventar y trabajar. Te dan buenos consejos. Me he encantada las fotos, las antiguas mas que nada. La mujer es encantadora, y sincera .

About half way through the first page, I thought to myself; this sounds like a woman who has never had a family, never raised children. Just the way she was talking about 'exercise is free, singing, dancing, laughing, mediation, sleep is also free'. I couldn't help but think that for many people these things come an incredible premium. If a person could spend all the time, effort, and money that it costs to raise children on herself instead... yes, I guess those things come more easily. I also don't understand the mixed message of 'being great at every age' and also using a young and slim model throughout the book.

Norma Kamali's message is that we grow with each decade of life. She shows that she has kept curious, creative and ambitious and her career has gone from strength to strength. Hooray. The model throughout her book is skinny and white and in her twenties. This undermines her message of age acceptance, fashion being gender fluid and of embracing diversity. WTF?

I absolutely love it! Read during two afternoons, highlighted plenty wise messages and I know I will be keep coming back to it! Keeps me motivated and fuel my inner fire. I can't recommend it enaugh to every woman I know!
