K is for Kamali

Norma Kamali's distinctive silhouettes and signature fabrics have kept her designs in the spotlight for decades. With pieces that are both easy and stylish, it's not hard to see why!

Loyal Kamali fans know this piece well. With its detachable suspenders, high buttoned waist, and volume galore, this parachute skirt is a guaranteed head-turner. In vivid plum with convenient inner pockets. Labeled a sz. 10, fits a contemporary 6.

A little bit 1950s, a little bit Big Love, this full and twirly prairie shirt dress is fantastic for Fall. Pair it with gladiator sandals now, then a snug sweater and towering boots as the temperature drops. Labeled an 8, fits a contemporary 4-6.

Mid '80s Kamali Sweatshirt Ensemble

This classic Kamali ensemble is wildly versatile - the fishtail hem skirt can also be worn as a minidress and the boatneck top is fantastic as a tunic over jeans or leggings. In comfy sweatshirt material, these structured separates are labeled a sz. 8 but will fit a range (particularly the top).

Early '80s corduroy cocoon dress

Another of-the-moment Kamali cocoon, this time in red pinwale corduroy with snaps all the way up the collar. Shown belted, it also looks great as a slouchy tunic and has cuffed dolman sleeves. Labeled a sz. L, this one's also pretty flexible and can be worn up to a contemporary 10 or so.
