About this episode

Norma Kamali shares her journey of losing and rebuilding her business, along with insights on love and experience.

This week, I'm re-airing a conversation from the archives with designer Norma Kamali, whose 50-year career is as rich as her designs are iconic — and who, fittingly for the COMEBACKS SERIES, lost her entire company and built it all back.We get into her thoughts on her evolving industry, upcoming generations, falling in love at 65, and why experience is your greatest asset. She gently gives me advice, and shares the motto that's carried her through building her career more than once: The more you do, the more you can do.
