NYFW - Fashion Icon Norma Kamali Does It Again

Norma Kamali has been slaying the fashion game for 50+ years. She’s best known for her iconic 'Sleeping Bag coat' in the 70's, introducing sweats as everyday sportswear, and her trailblazing swimwear. For Spring 2026 RTW, she brings her signature mix of comfort + glamour, blurring the line between athleisure ease and red-carpet polish. True to her DNA, the lineup feels modern and wearable. Luv her, she basically checks all my boxes; creative, an innovator, comfy chic & affordable!

The collection opened with relaxed sportswear-inspired separates; voluminous gray bubble shorts paired with an oversized draped cape, styled effortlessly with knee-high black boots. The look captured Kamali’s knack for turning casual silhouettes into fashion statements, simple yet sculptural. Eveningwear shimmered in liquid metallic, with silver off-the-shoulder gowns flowing like molten fabric. The pleated movement and soft draping embodied Kamali’s gift for creating drama without excess, a futuristic elegance that still feels grounded.

Pastel tailoring also took center stage, with blush-pink wide-leg trousers and structured blazers layered over casual gray tees. The mix of sharp tailoring and laid-back basics reinforced the collection’s theme, clothes designed to move seamlessly from day to night. Kamali proves once again why she’s the queen of versatility, offering a wardrobe that celebrates strength and softness, comfort and sophistication. 111 looks, these are my top picks.
