NYFW - Norma Kamali Review

What better time to start this blog than during NYFW?! I can't help but feel excited each time the season comes around. I've been keeping up with the RTW FW16 Shows on Vogue.com and naturally I have a few favorites: So far its Norma Kamali

Her FW16 line is just plain fun! She's got that 70's thing going on but with an 80's twist. It's very wearable but not in the least bit mundane. The model's poses are brilliant and each photo is full of explosive energy.

I was feeling really inspired by the images so I sketched a few looks from the line.
