Why the fashion designer puts olive oil in her smoothies, swears by beauty supplements for hair, skin, and nails, loves Physique 57's barre class, and more.
Welcome to Wellness Confidential, our quick-fire interview series where we ask hard-hitting (okay, entertaining) wellness questions, lightning round-style.
This week we’re quizzing Norma Kamali, the iconic fashion designer who was all about athleisure before there was even a term for chic activewear and stylish layering pieces for the gym, beach, or anywhere in between.

Workout I’m currently obsessed with: Barre class, specifically Physique 57—all classes, including mat.
The one wellness trend you’ll never see me try: I am pretty discriminating, but I never say never….
If sugar was a superfood, my diet would consist of: Sugar can never be a superfood, even in fiction.
The last time I used my oven: I eat mostly raw so… [it’s been] at least five years.
I never make a smoothie without adding: Olive oil.
If I were a fruit or vegetable, I’d be: An apple. An apple a day keeps the doctor away!
