Review Quotes

"After decades in an industry obsessed with youth, the designer writes in her new book that 'you can feel better and be better with age.'"-- "Wall Street Journal"

"Kamali still retains total control of her fashion line, now in its 53rd year--a rarity in the industry, on both accounts--and just finished a book, to be released in January, that serves as a guide to optimizing women's emotional and physical health, from puberty to post-menopause. It reflects an ethos that she calls "aging with power." What that has meant for her, she says, is that for the second half of her life, she decided to live exactly as she pleased."-- "Departures"
