Kimora Lee Simmons

[Frostelized]

I have to meet her to form an opinion about her.

I saw her on Oprah and she didn't seem that bad.

When her husband controlled the company- he couldn't get it off the ground.

She walked into one of the meetings and said she had some ideas. So he turned it over to her- and she made it into a $30 million dollar company.

How many near-billionaire husbands have wives who can help them make money as opposed to just spending it? Not many I'm sure.

simmons sold baby phat, and kimora with it as a design director or whatever she is. why, i ask?

i don't believe baby phat is profitable. russel simmons is a good enough businessman to know when to hang on to a good thing and when to let a dog go.

checking out the baby phat website, there doesn't seem to be enough focus in accessories or realism in the pricepoints for outerwear . . . on the flipside, the stuff seems to be so cheaply made that a few customers paying full price could make up for all the stuff they have to send to TJ Maxx every week . . .

continuing that point, when i have been bargain-hunting for PDC jeans at TJ's, i noticed that they seem to stock all of the "expensive" Baby Phat stuff, like the leather and fur jackets . . . implying that it doesn't sell well at full retail in macy's or wherever . . . which doesn't bode well for the brand's attempts to upgrade their image with all the kimora stuff . . .

on the upside, i'm impressed with the availability of plus-size and children's clothing on the site, this speaks to actually being in touch with the urban market.

kimora herself . . .whatever

I love her clothing line. BaByPhat wear is HOT. I can't wait to go Babyphat clothes shopping u think the stuff is cheaply made? why do you say that? The stuff seems a little more pricey then lets say TJ Maxx or Marshalls.

the clothing looks like quality to me....

I have to meet her to form an opinion about her.

I saw her on Oprah and she didn't seem that bad.

My girlfriend and I were sitting behind her in the audience for that very show She was rather nice to us in between commerical breaks. We were given a complete BP outfit and lets just say I never wore it and dont ever plan to. But its fun to have though b/c its from the show.

I also ran into her in an elevator when I worked for Macys West and she was nice then too (she asked me about something I had in my hand).

While I'm not a big fan of her's and she does appear snotty, she was nice both times I've seen her

In some of her photos she looks weird.

 

[starface]

Who is she exactly? shes not really that famous here in the Uk.
I dont think we have her clothing line in the Uk

If only we were so lucky
I'm going to be in Leed's in 3 weeks ...YEAH!!...very excited, first time.

I don't like her clothes, and God knows I am puzzled by the rings around her neck, but I'm genuinely impressed by this woman. She comes off as being extremely personable on TV (for example, on Cribs she was extremely funny about the people that called her a ****** Giraffe in highschool - not that I watch cribs or anything ), and she's made herself a fair amount of money. Whatever floats her boat is fine by me, including smoking pot in the Hamptons.

FASHION BITES

RUSSELL SIMMONS bought his wife Kimora Lee Simmons two pieces of Jackie O's famous Louis Vuitton luggage at an auction at Sotheby's for Valentine's Day. The Baby Phat designer can now be recognised by her LV-emblazoned suitcase and hatbox, which together cost in the region of $60,000.

Her oldest daughter...Mai Lee (I think is her name)

How adorable is this child????? Too cute! Russell and Kimora turned out beautiful children. Great genes.

B) Kimora has a fat neck and bad taste.B)

 

[Labeladdict2]

I think Kimora's great!

I met her in 2000 with Russell when they were in Nashville for an ASCAP music convention. My friend and I (we're both 6 ft tall) were hanging out and Kimora invited us to their party.

I love her in all her ghetto-FABULOUSness. No reason to hate on her because she flaunts what she has. I disagree with the pot smoking but hey, she's a hot mamma...she's very tongue in cheek with her super-glam lifestyle and she even laughs at the smoke she causes. But Please Kimora: get rid of the gold in your house. very tacky!!

(((smooches)))

Her name's Ming Lee. Anyway, I agree. But watch -- watch now we have The Hilton Sisters. In 2010 it will be The Simmons Sisters.
