Season 2, Episode 15: Kimora Lee Simmons

Kimora Lee Simmons is a model, a mogul, but most of all, she’s a mom. In 1999, Kimora launched her first clothing line, Baby Phat, which would become one of the first explosive streetwear brands that specifically catered to women, and even more so, women of color. Kimora created size-inclusive denim styles and looks that complemented a wide range of women with diverse body types. As a result, the Baby Phat brand became a fashion sensation, popping up in magazines, runways, and top celebrities across the globe. In the early 2000s, Kimora launched an intimate docuseries called “Life in the Fab Lane,” where she gave the audience an inside look into her life as a working mom and a glimpse behind the scenes into her fashion empire.

In 2006, Kimora captured our hearts with her book Fabulosity, which empowered countless women to pursue self-love, confidence, and success. She would later build a high-end luxury brand, KLS, and would become the Creative Director of JustFab. Her list of accolades and accomplishments is endless. Now, with her brilliant daughters Aoki and Ming by her side, Kimora launched Baby Phat Beauty and recently revived and expanded her clothing brand, Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons. Host, Kirsten Holtz Naim sat down with Kimora to talk about her illustrious career, the revival of Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons, and her dedication to empowering women.
