This is lightyears, galaxies, and universes away from what I thought this was going to be like initially going into this thread. Not bad !

A huge leap from Baby Phat! This is very modern and wearable. Not bad!

yes but the pieces cost in the range of $1,000 each. you'd have to be very foolish indeed to pay those prices for something with kimora lee simmons name on it, IMO.

Whoa. This is pretty fabulous.

 

[simple_elegance]

Not at all what I was expecting, which is a very good thing.

Ah #true I wouldn't

This makes me miss Baby Phat, at least that was something different. This has no place in fashion. It's nothing special to say the least. Very Victoria Beckham.

I am VERY impressed, mainly because my expectations were in the gutters. This is all very clean and an overall well edited collection. In the high fashion mileu it is nothing groundbreaking, but for an intermediary collection it is laudable, no matter the brand.

I wonder if she pilfered anyone from Victoria Beckham

Holy Sh** I expected something trashy and cheap,this is surprising.She really nailed it its sophisticated and modern.

There was something surreal about sitting with Kimora Lee Simmons—demure, hugely pregnant, accompanied by her non-famous husband—and watching the presentation of her debut KLS Kimora Lee Simmons collection. She has been in the public eye for about 25 years now, ever since she booked an exclusive with Chanel when she was just 14. Old video of her on YouTube reveals a poised, cheerful, rather soft-spoken girl. Then she married Russell Simmons; ran Baby Phat; divorced Russell Simmons; starred in two reality shows; repeatedly swatted back rumors that she was, in tabloid parlance, an "extreme diva"; and showed up in places you didn't quite expect her, like the video for the song "Tapout." What part of that history are we supposed to tap into, as we encounter the latest incarnation of Kimora Lee Simmons and KLS, the designer-price-point label meant to reflect who she is today?

By way of introduction, Simmons said she was designing clothes for herself—things she was missing in her expansive wardrobe. The key look—reiterated multiple times—was a panel-constructed, body-hugging pencil dress, a silhouette that she described as "basic." Hmm. The word clung a little tighter to items like a laser-cut leather tee and nicely tailored tuxedo pants with graphic insets along the side seam. Still, it wasn't entirely clear what was newsworthy about these clothes, aside from the fact that Simmons made them. Women who already identify with her will have the chance, through this collection, to identify with her in a concrete way, by wearing her clothes. And come spring, when the KLS flagship opens in Beverly Hills, they will have yet another entrée to the Kimora Lee Simmons world. But for others who never really understood all the fuss about Simmons, the onus is on the designer to provide more vivid clues the next time around.

I was thinking Vicky Beckham too.

Yes she is doing a revamp. I was reading a while ago about this.
