Claire’s Life: Norma Kamali Resort 2012 + The Ash Store Opening with Solange and Adrienne Bailon

Hey Bombshells!

I had an action packed evening yesterday. From boutique openings to resort go-sees and mixtape sessions, I did a bit of everything. I only had photographer Marta McAdams with me for the beginning of my day as I took in Norma Kamali’s Resort 2012 collection.

From stretchy cut out swimsuits to striped crop tops, Norma Kamali’s newest venture is geared towards the bold fashionista, unafraid to flaunt her curves in sheer or form fitting garments . For 2012, the Kamali woman is lounging poolside in lacy two piece bikinis, sheer flared pants, and stunningly embellished mesh garments in nude, sable, and steel.


This is how a few pieces look on:

The focus is on the ‘Bombshell’ with maillot silhouettes, frilly mini skirts, and convertible halters.

I can see the collection flattering just about anyone–from svelte divas to more voluptuous vixens. Hot!
After looking at the Resort Collection, I also perused a few items from Spring/Summer 2011:

If this top looks familiar, it’s because Rihanna wore it for a performance on the Today Show:

Norma Kamali is a certified favorite of Fashion Bomb stars like Ciara, Rihanna, and Beyonce. It was fun to see everything up close!

After my quick visit, I was off to a few boutique openings.

And Adrienne Bailon

*I actually shot video at another opening for a boutique called Blake Scotland. Stay tuned for the relaunch of Fashion Bomb TV (hopefully) this Friday.
