Fashionistas know the name Norma Kamali, the star designer, as the creative force behind Farrah Fawcett’s crimson swimsuit in Charlie’s Angels, shoulder pads, flowy silk parachute dresses, and hot pants. We know her as a passionate and devoted missionary of olive oil. “The life of an olive tree is eternal,” Kamali says. “Olive oil is more important than fashion.”
