Kimora Lee Simmons helped kick off New York Fashion Week with a showing of the fall line for Baby Phat at which oh so many fabulous people appeared.
As Ericka N. Goodman put it:
The show provided the spirit of what hip-hop has become – a lifestyle that is both Hollywood and "hood," multifaceted, and of course, fabulous.
All this fab talk refers, of course, to the release of Kimora’s new book Fabulosity: What It Is and How To Get It, whose 15 laws of fabulosity comprise a "rhinestone-studded, fur-lined checklist for the next generation of glamazons" beginning with:
Law #1: "Work yourself into a frenzy of high hopes and aspirations"
And Kimora Lee Simmons has certainly followed her own advice to become "Kimora Lee: The Brand". In fact, hubbie Russell Simmons says he has a "vision of Kimora being the greatest brand in the world."
As noted in various accounts, Brand Kimora is an "aspirational brand" or, as CEO Kimora stated, "They see my life… they want my clothes. Got it?"
Well, if Madonna could take drag queen culture to the bank, why can’t Miss Kimora? Speaking of which, whatever happened to Caushun and Baby Phat Records?
