Wit and wisdom from the innovative, influential, and empowering wellness guru and designer Norma Kamali

In her first book, fashion legend Norma Kamali offers readers a stylish, inspiring, and heartfelt handbook for gliding boldly through each of life's decades with purpose and power. Norma Kamali: I Am Invincible is a manifesto, memoir, and essential guide, informed by 50 years of Kamali's twists, turns, triumphs, and failures. It explores her journey of finding the courage and conviction to race after her dreams and never look back.

At 75, Kamali looksβ€”and actsβ€”nearly half her age. The secret, she writes, is learning to age with power: embracing a healthy lifestyle and looking forward to every milestone and the changes they bring, with the realization that reaching one's potential has no set date.

With wisdom and wit, Kamali imparts her lessons on authentic beauty, timeless style, career-building, fitness, and health through personal stories, worldly insight, and actionable advice. Her insights are designed to help women of every age create their happiest, healthiest, most successful, and fulfilling lives.
