Kimora Lee Simmons Baby Phat

Kimora Lee Simmons Hounsou has announced plans to part ways with Kellwood Company, the parent property for Baby Phat and Phat Fashions, effective September 1st.

The model-turned-mogul-mama released the following statement about her decision:

“After 14 years of conceiving and nurturing Baby Phat, it’s time for me to move on and further expand my other businesses and create a new phenomenon. I adore all those who have faithfully been with me since the beginning. I’m forever dedicated to my family, fans and customers. My inspiration has always come from the fabulous women who have been with me through the years as we’ve grown from young party girls to power players! We’re ready for our next journey together and we’re taking a whole new generation of incredible young women with us. Girl power unite!”

Don’t worry about Kimora though, she’s got plenty to keep her busy. Besides her kids Ming Lee, Aoki Lee and Kenzo Lee, she’s also still head chick in charge for the KLS collection, Kouture by Kimora and Fabulosity lines, and her hit Style Network reality series, ‘Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane,’ is currently shooting its fourth season.

  • Anonymous1

    I could tell by the changing styles of the clothes that something was amiss; As long as Kimora doesn’t forget about us plus size chicks, I’ll buy KLS. I just love me some Kimora…

  • Chee-Chee

    i never liked her tube-necked azz and her kids act like spoiled brats, except the baby.

    she made money off gullible black women, the same ones that she talked mad ish about when she talks about growing up mixed.

    i’m glad that bish never saw any of my dollars.

    Black people, stop giving these ASIANS YOUR MONEY!!!

  • JAZZI247

    tube neck azz!!! roflmao! on rupauls drag race, one of the queens had to impersonate her! he drew lines onhis neck to make it look like that!! hilarious!!!

  • BETTYEJ

    It’s about time she stop acting like she is a designer. Hate the look myself.

  • BAPE747

    Wonder if BDR had anythang to do wit it

  • Somali Ninga

    Who ever bought babyphat? the clothes are butt ugly

  • kasha

    Her clothes were cheap as hell and her lotion had the same ingredients as dollar store lotion for 15 times the price???? Who would ever spend their money on her sh*t

  • chaka1

    Kimora gets on my last nerve, but at least she works and is great mother…

    Baby Phat was always greasy kid’s stuff to me…

  • Princess07

    I so admire Kimora. She is one chick that knows her business. Love watcing her show.

  • John D. Hater

    GOOD RIDDANCE TO ANOTHER WACK A$$ LINE OF FASHION BOUGHT TO YOU BY WACK INDIVIDUALS!!!

  • kalifa

    she certainly isnt a fool

    kimora established her own brands and made sure they were viable before quitting….

    lesson:

    marry a rich fart for his money, let him give you a leadership position at one of his companies, divorce him but remain friends, establish your own $hit, leave his business and start a new life with a real hottie.

  • jakey

    thank you. The gold charms and repetitive/multiple logos everywhere. Keep that

  • ThickLikeCornbread

    Yea, I NEVER thought Baby Phat was cute. I have seen some scrubs that I looked at 2 or 3 times, but i never bought them.

    He11, I didnt even like the purses.

    And, it didnt help that the ONLY stores u saw Baby Phat in were Citi Trends & Burlington Coat Factory.

    Baby Phat= Ghetto chic. Not my style.

  • ThickLikeCornbread

    I giggled at ur comment but now feel bad for laffin’

  • Over it….

    Cheap azz clothes w/ that big azz cat EVERYWHERE…..girl BYE!

  • IHateLongWindedPRStatements

    “Don’t worry about Kimora though, she’s got plenty to keep her busy”

    I honestly do not think anyone cared to the point of worry.

    Kellwood BEEN losing money on Baby Phat – go look at the financials.

  • Rolly

    When the line 1st came out she had some cute items but once she got customers everything go cheap looking. The shoe line was horrid. The purses were nothing to talk about. But those big azz foil cats on the back of everything is what killed it! Who wants to be a walking billbord?

  • reuyi

    Do you want to experience i-nterracial da-ting? I met my black guy on

    {B_l_a_c_k_w_h_i_t_e_C_u_p_i_d //C_0_ M ——}

    It is an interracial dating s_i_t_e for s-exy singles of all races. You may have a try… ;)

    zzzzz

  • DID YOU FORGET

    DID YOU BROKE AZZ LATINA AND BLACK BISHES FORGET THAT SHE HAS MADE MORE MONEY THAN YOU WILL EVER SEE IN YOUR WHOLE LIFE TIME? AND BY THE WAY DON’T TALK ABOUT ASIANS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONES RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR FAKE AZZ LOUIS BAG AND YOUR WEAVE YOU WOULDN’T BE CAUGHT DEAD WITHOUT!

  • YuCk

    Never liked her clothes, real cheap, and she was phoney as hell. But, i will say she is set for life. Shes not a dummy so she knew exactly what she was doing in quitting baby phat

  • Curious1

    LOL…..

  • TheTEA.net

    Kimora was “let go” by Kellwood, that’s why she is leaving with only a week left in the month. Researchers step up your game!

  • Silent Swagg

    so sad :(

  • rene

    Kimora is a beautiful Strong woman and she is funny also. Her family is beautiful God bless.

  • black!!!!

    wow

  • WAY Hotter Than Beyonce

    I think she got too lazy

  • babiegurl33

    Oh puleeze! Kimora considers herself to be primarily black so you dumb asians on here are taking up for the wrong one!!! BTW, Kimora wears weave too! I have no opinion about her fashion lines, but she seems like one smart woman and has a great personality to boot. This site is full of haters!

  • Watching the haters get heated while I stay calm (aka CrazyJoc)

    Wow! There is a lot of haters commenting…haha you can say what you want but Kimora is a rich and successful women. I love that she is proud of being Japanese and African American.She can be snobby sometimes but from her show I can see that she lOVES her children and wants to teach them how to be strong independent women.I think we spend too much energy hating (or disliking) people we don’t even know.

  • lili23ane

    I admire strong, successful Black women. She is amazing. More power to her!

  • Shay

    who still wears baby phat. the clothes are extremely ugly and cheap looking. only high school gurls whos parents dont monitor their clothes would wear it. none of my kids will be caught even sleeping in baby phat.

  • Ne Ne aka iB@S

    exactly who still wearing baby phat. her clothes look really cheap and tacky…i would rather wear house of dereon…nah i take that back because my sister-in-law bought me a dereon shirt for my birthday and its still sittin in my closet untouched…sorry sis, luv ya!!

  • fool of a tooke!

    Dreadful clothing line. Only for ghetto trash… actually, even they don’t wear it. Kimora is aging SO BADLY. She looks like a cross between Ursula the sea witch & an 110 year old Chinese woman.

  • kammy

    Um KIMORA IS HALF BLACK!!!!

  • kammy

    U idiot!!! KImora’s Daddy was a black man!!! She is black and japaneese!!!!

  • b.i.t.c.h please!

    Get it straight now.

    You didn’t “conceive” baby phat – you had to s.uc.k a rich old man’s d.i.c.k before he HANDED you the title.

  • CHINKmora Is A Fat Liar

    CHINKmora IS MT BLACK. HER FATHER IS JAPENESE. IT WAS HER STEPdad WHO WAS BLACK.
