Though known for her sultry, figure-baring silhouettes, Norma Kamali focuses on modesty for Fall 2013 with styles that are quite covered and refined. The famed designer reimagines her classics like the sleeping bag coat and hooded maxi dress in two-tone coloring, floral patchwork, and polka dot, giving her loyal fans like Rihanna and Khloe Kardashian what they keep coming back for season after season. The palette is decidedly neutral: only veering from Fall’s dark trajectory with the aforementioned florals, cobalt, and a tapestry-inspired pattern.
The offerings are robust, featuring over 55 looks for Fall. Texture uplifts classic black and white looks with quilted detailing and lace, for those with a simpler aesthetic.
Jumpsuits and rompers give some girlish flair to the collection in quilted and pinstripe styles that are sure to be coveted pieces for Kamali’s coquettish clients.
Signature Kamali creations pop up with new spins including the shawl collar and sleeping bag coats, as well as her form-fitting maxi dresses.
Though not often a go-to brand for red carpet events, there are some real showstopping pieces here that can definitely work for movie premieres and cocktail parties. The lace and tulle looks are particularly beautiful and might catch the eye of some daring and fashion-forward Hollywood starlet.
Any looks catch your eye?

I’m usually not a fan, but I can dig some of these designs. Can’t wait to see who wears the quilted dresses. I hate those sleeping bag coats. They look like the models took the comforters off of their beds and belted them. They usually look plush and a bit more luxurious.

I wish she still made clothes for Wal Mart.

I didn’t know she made clothes for Walmart. Overall, I like the collection. I’m not really feeling the quilted jumper.

@Mo_Sheri10 Wal Mart tried to have an affordable designer collection like Target and she was of the only designers. It phased out quickly but it was really cute.
