Norma Kamali Talks To Chef Matteo

Designer Norma Kamali has a new project- A digital webisode series of conversations with artists and experts focusing on fitness, health, beauty and nutrition. The program debuts on Thursday, September 30th at 11:00 AM at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The reason I'm very excited about this is her first guest, Chef Matteo of 4 Course Vegan, who is not just a personal friend of mine, but also an amazing chef.

One doesn't need to be a vegan or even a vegetarian to enjoy Chef Matteo's cuisine. I've sat countless of times at his dinners and watched the faces of omnivores and carnivores who came in skeptical and left amazed after a truly extraordinary dining experience.It's wonderful to see him get the recognition he deserves. You can see a clip on Norma Kamali's Conversations website.

Cat Eye

I desperately need new sunglasses. I also hate actually shopping for them because 90% of what's out there makes me look ridiculous. I avoided the last couple of trends of huge aviators and even bigger vintage-style shades, but it's time to replace at least one of the pairs I'm wearing regularly.

The cat eye frame is back, and while I'm pretty sure I shouldn't even attempt this look, I love the idea of it. Here's Taylor Tomasi, style and accessories director for Marie-Claire magazine. She was photographed in Paris during Fashion Week wearing these Norma Kamali sunglasses.
