Style icon and designer Norma Kamali comes to 92YTribeca
next month with a panel of special guests (to be announced) to discuss
empowerment through couture.
As we all know, fashion is not only decorative, but used
as an extension of our natural bodies as markers of status and gender roles. So
it only seems fitting that Kamali, who designed the unforgettable one-piece red
bathing suit worn by Farah Fawcett in the film Charlie’s Angels (now in the
Smithsonian collection), leads a conversation on how to give more depth to
surface.

TALKS | “HEY BABY”: EMPOWERING WOMEN THROUGH
FASHION
Designer Norma Kamali breaks the sound barrier of the silent model in the photo, and on the runway. Join some of the women considered the most beautiful in the world in an open discussion that will show that all women are more than the way they look.
Norma Kamali has been a fashion designer since 1967
and feels her role is to empower women through clothing. Self-esteem and image
are deeper issues and in her interviews with women, their stories enlighten and
inspire other women to better understand how to achieve empowerment. Norma has
been interviewing women around the world; the last group for her SiriusXM radio
show included NYC mayoral candidate Christine Quinn, Cindy Lauper, Joan Jett,
Korean female comedian Margaret Cho, political reporter Mica Bryzinski and
Gloria Steinem.
