Norma Kamali: Designer, Trendsetter, Jewelry Lover

Norma Kamali is not your average designer – she is the shining star on a cloudy summer night. In the ever-changing world of fashion, she continues to set the bar and then crash through the glass ceiling. The New York native prides herself on perfecting her art and emphasizing the freedom to be creative. Norma does not turn a blind eye to the fact that her creativity gives women the opportunity to feel empowered and to empower others. Norma's lifestyle concept transcends through generations, as well as her belief in the strength of the internet, ecomm and social media to engage with customers old and new.

"Ease and accessibility always makes fashion more fun. That's why I love using jewelry. In fact, I collect jewelry from old Hollywood films. I love the sound of it, the feel of it. Jewelry is so feminine and fun. Like the Gabriel pieces paired with my clothing for the Designer Flash shoot, they're so light and happy, and go so effortlessly with everything. That's what so special about jewelry. You can make your look unique without adding a lot," said Norma Kamali.

To bridge the gap between runway fashion and fine jewelry, the Designer Flash series provides vital information and showcases the idea that fine jewelry can also be every day jewelry. So, what a thrill it was for us to pair her highly sensual and incredibly comfortable clothes with the polish and ease of Gabriel & Co.'s wide range of baubles. She loved it and so did we. In fact, when we unwrapped the clothes for the shoot, the young women who work at Gabriel pled to shop the racks.

The complete Designer Flash Series collection brings designers from all walks of life and style together to showcase Gabriel & Co.'s wide range of offerings. "Each designer-dedicated web page features four parts: a written interview; the designer's selection of five new jewels from Gabriel & Co., along with a statement on each piece; the podcast, which can be viewed and downloaded; and a #GabrielNY section, which highlights each piece that the designers used to style the model in the on-page photos," says Hal Rubenstein, host and Global Style Director.

The interview and podcast featuring Hal & Norma Kamali is online now, available at https://www.gabrielny.com/designer-flash-norma-kamali .
