At age 63, designer Norma Kamali is stilling creating her unique designs. She has hung on to her business and OMO (On My Own), her gallery-like Manhattan flagship through more than three decades and several economic downturns. Fashion's current infatuation with the 1980's has sparked a run on her vintage designs. She currently has a deal with Walmart and her designs will debut there in June.
