#056: Creating a home that serves you in every phase of life + tips from a fashion legend with Design Icon Norma Kamali

MAKE SPACE with Cara Newhart // home design & diy

On the show today, I have a design icon. I am sitting down with Norma Kamali who is most well known as a fashion designer but is so much more. You might know her from her designing pieces such as the Sleeping Bag Coat worn by Lady Gaga and Rihanna or the iconic red swimsuit worn by Farrah Fawcett. Not only can we learn so much from such an iconic designer when it comes to how to design our spaces, but there are also some really cool specifics we get to dive into like her book, I Am Invincible. Her book is a life handbook for how to navigate each decade of your life with purpose and power. We talk so much on this show about how life is in phases and our homes reflect that. With each season of our life, our home is going to look very different based on what we need. With all her vast experience, Norma has such a beautiful and unique perspective for how to design your life well, how your home reflects that and how to move through each phase of your life. This is such a beautiful conversation about what empowerment and our spaces can look like through each phase of our lives. I think this conversation is going to be above and beyond what we normally get on the show in terms of life advice as well as some home design strategies mixed in.
