Summary
Norma Kamali steps Behind The Rope. Living Legend, Fashion Icon Norma Kamali. Norma opens up about some of the highlights of her career such the Sleeping Bag Coat, the high heeled sneaker, her one piece red bathing suit worn by Farrah Fawcett in the iconic 1976 poster and styling Whitney Houston on the back cover of her 1985 debut album. We break down the relationship between celebrity and designer, the celebs Norma has worked with, and who she would love to design for. Norma discusses her involvement with Bravo’s Project Runway, Heidi Klum, Michael Kors, Tim Gunn, the show’s most notorious winner Christian Siriano, and whether shows like Project Runway “work” anymore. We analyze the changes in the fashion industry throughout the years, the current crop of Hollywood’s best and worst dressed, and the current crop of hot models such as Gigi and Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner. Finally, we chat about the current state of the red carpet, the decreased ratings across the board for Awards shows, the future of fashion and how one size does not fit all. Part II starts now. @normakamali @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ZENNI OPTICAL - zenni.com/podcast (Use Code Podcast15 For 15% Off Your First Order Of The Most Affordable, Stylish Glasses and Sunglasses) HOMESERVE - homeserve.com/velvetrope (Get 50% Less Your First Year On Home Insurance Plans That Start At $4.99 A Month) MYFITNESSPAL - podcasts.myfitnesspal.com (Use Code VELVET, All Upper Case Letters, For 15% Off The Premium App That Will Change Everything For You Regarding Fitness & Nutrition) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) WHATNOT - www.whatnot.com (Download The Wh…
