Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award: Norma Kamali

This designer of the "sleeping bag" coat and Farrah Fawcett's iconic Charlie's Angels bathing suit has continuously demonstrated her merits for the lifetime achievement award. Norma Kamali, 70 in years but not a day over 30 in looks, has made vast contributions to pro-education organizations and is a proponent of entrepreneurship and wellness - all while building her fashion empire from the bottom up.
