The 2026 Bridal Collection by Norma Kamali
Norma Kamali is a pioneering force in global fashion, with a career spanning over 57 years marked by groundbreaking innovations. She is credited with inventing the Sleeping Bag Coat in 1973, introducing sweats as ready-to-wear fashion in 1980, and leading the rise of influential swimwear and active sportswear as a lifestyle in the '80s.
Her collections are known for being washable, easy-care, and reflective of an early commitment to sustainability. Norma has always embraced technology, from incorporating QR codes in her store installations to inventing "Try Before You Buy" — an early precursor to modern online shopping. Her website showcases her fashion collections alongside the Normalife skincare and scent line and her home collection.
True to her trailblazing spirit, Norma Kamali continues to push boundaries, most recently by exploring the possibilities of artificial intelligence. A technology enthusiast since her early days training on a UNIVAC computer in 1964, she was among the first in fashion to adopt e-commerce, launching a website in the mid-1990s and selling on eBay. In June 2023, Norma completed a generative AI course through MIT, inspiring her latest project: AI x The Norma Kamali Archive. Drawing inspiration from how Karl Lagerfeld respectfully built his Chanel collections from the brand’s archives, Norma developed a custom AI program trained exclusively on her archive. This tool allows her to authentically create present and future collections, ensuring that the essence of the Norma Kamali brand continues to evolve while staying true to its original spirit.
A visionary in fashion for over five decades, Norma Kamali continues to redefine style with fearless, forward-thinking designs. Her bridal collection captures the essence of her most iconic looks, offering a bold, modern twist on timeless glamour. From engagement parties to bridal showers, rehearsal dinners to after-parties—Kamali delivers unforgettable style for every moment. The collection also includes stunning options for the bridal party, wedding guests, and the mother of the bride.
