Baby Phat founder Kimora Lee Simmons

In 1998, Kimora Lee Simmons decided to create Baby Phat clothing. Kimora directs and established a new, stylish but classic, womens clothing label to fill a large void in the glamorously chic woman’s life. She also knew the brand’s success would rely on her ability to merge the worlds of high fashion and hip-hop style.

Kimora’s experience as a top fashion model, her marriage to Russell, her innate sense of style and her affinity for the finer things in life, put Baby Phat clothing at the forefront of the urban luxury movement.

From early on, the St. Louis native seemed to have a penchant for style. During the pinnacle of the super model era, Kimora Lee’s exotic look was already changing the face of fashion internationally. At 13, Kimora Lee was an established model – handpicked by Karl Lagerfeld as the muse for the House of Chanel.

By the time Kimora reached 16, she already modeled for the world’s most elite designers, including Giorgio Armani, Yves St. Laurent, Gianfranco Ferre, Givenchy, Fendi, and Richard Tyler.

The famous Baby Phat logo

The future Baby Phat founder also graced both the international covers and pages of Vogue, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar, and had a portfolio of photographs shot by some of the world’s greatest photographers. The list of photographers even included the highly acclaimed Steven Miesel and Patrick Demarchelier.

A fashion runway staple, television personality, successful businesswoman, and mother; Kimora Lee represents everything a woman can be and utilizes high fashion elegance with ghetto fabulous and continues to empower and inspire women through the Baby Phat clothing collections.

Baby Phat’s slinky feline logo has became an internationally recognizable fashion symbol and is synonymous with the brand. Their eye-catching hip-hugging signature jeans represent everything that is feminine and fun, glitzy and glamorous, sensuous and sumptuous about the Baby Phat woman.

The BabyPhat line includes denim separates, leather, outerwear, handbags, shoes, lingerie, jewelry, two limited edition Motorola mobile phones and a signature fragrance. Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons continues to take fashion to new heights – more than your average urban denim company – Baby Phat is a lifestyle for the glamorous woman represents everything hip-hop and everything fashion.

In 2007, Kimora Lee expanded her fashion house launching the KLS Collection. The new clothing line was created for the classic needs of a fabulous diva. Pricier than the Baby Phat brand, the KLS clothing collection will be limited and feature upscale fashions. Kimora Lee’s debut of the upscale clothing collection was a repeat success for the former super model, being found in videos within a month of it’s initial products’ launch.

Phat Farm clothing was founded in 1992 but Def Jam Hip Hop mogul Russell Simmons. The man sometimes called “Hustle Simmons“, had the vision to create an American lifestyle brand that combined a clean look with the trends of Urban trends.

Originally a brand under Russell’s Phat Fashions Company, Sojones.com does not have an answer to how this name came about. We assume PHAT was taken from the popularized slang that was an acronym for Pretty, Hot, and Tempting (as Chris Tucker put it) but have yet to get a definite answer. Unlike some other brands in Hip Hop clothing, Simmons has always made sure the Phat Farm was about quality to match price. Phat Farm hoodies, sweats, Phat Farm shoes, jeans, and other PF products are constructed to give the consumer something that can last if taken care of.

Phat Fashions announced over $300 million in revenues line in 2003 and launched the Run Athletics and Def Jam University clothing lines to expand financial visions. One of the company’s biggest achievements according to reports published by Phat Fashions, was that the Phat farm and Baby Phat shoes were outselling Nike, adidas, and reebok shoes in major retailers all brands held placement.

In 2004, Simmons sold Phat Farm and Phat Fashions into a partnership with Kellwood clothing company. Under the deal, Simmons received $140 million dollars in cash over a stretched period. This left Simmons’ former wife, Kimora Lee, as president and creative director of Baby Phat. Russell held the same titles at his Phat Farm company. The move took Phat Fashions from a privately held company and made it another branch of Kellwood, publicly traded company.

“My vision is so great that it could not have been accomplished without the support of a public company [like Kellwood]” Simmons said of the deal.

In 2007, Russell Simmons announced his desire to persue other ventures, and stepped down from his position of Phat Fashions CEO. The multi-millionaire felt it was time to focus on his jewelry collection, fragrance, and personal health and entertainment businesses. Simmons also retained rights to his upscale fashion brands Argyleculture and Atman, which will become his trademark properties.

Kimora Lee, founder of Baby Phat, was made CEO of Phat Fashion shortly after Russells decision to leave. Company officials said the move was a great direction for the company as Kimora had proven her value several times over to Kellwood.

Adding to Lee’s titles of Creative Director and President of Baby Phat clothing, she smoothly converted into the new CEO title and began brand expansion within the 2007 year.

Today Phat Farm and Baby Phat remain to be two of the premier Hip Hop clothing brands in America and internationally. Phat Fashion boutique stores have been set up in luxury cities such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi. In addition, Phat Fashions has found major demand on-line launching Phat Farm and Baby Phat e-stores at PhatFarm.com and BabyPhat.com.

Sean John founder P-Diddy

Sean ‘P.Diddy’ Combs has always incorporated his great sense of style into every aspect of his life. In 1998, Mr. Combs decided to fulfill a life-long dream when he launched a signature collection of sportswear under his name Sean John.

Mr. Combs created Sean John clothing to fill a void in the market for well-made, sophisticated, fashion forward clothing that also reflected an urban sensibility and style. ‘I always had the idea that I would start my own apparel line, but I wanted to make sure the timing was right and that I had the time to devote to it,’ said Diddy about his personal thoughts around the time when he first started the development of Sean John.

Since its launch, Sean John has enjoyed critical and commercial success. Through the support of both the fashion community and retailers, Sean John clothing has quickly grown from an urban label to an international brand.

Sean John Clothing company has become a usual suspect at the prestigious award ceremony for the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) held annually in New York. For three consecutive years since 2000, Sean John clothing has been nominated for its excellence in design.

Sean John shares this distinction with an elite group of designers that include Marc Jacobs and Helmut Lang. Industry insiders and media outlets beyond SoJones largely credit Sean John with the return of excitement to the world of fashion. In February of 2001, Sean John clothing successfully produced the first nationally televised runway show during Fall Fashion Week when it simultaneously aired live on E! Television and the Style Network.

Sean Jean Mens Clothing.

During fashion week in February of 2002, the venerable New York Times conferred Sean John clothing with a front-page story on the interminable success of the fashion house.

The collection consisting of shirtings, knitwear, bottoms, outerwear, t-shirts, hats and jeans is inspired by Mr. Sean “P-Diddy” Combs’ image and reflects his diverse personal style. The line is produced four times a year and is geared to boys and men ages 12 to 40. Distribution of the collection is targeted to better department and specialty chain stores.

‘We are not in the clothing business for a quick hit. We are truly committed to the expansion and growth of the men’s marketplace and will use all of our resources to ensure that quality in both design and production of Sean John always exceeds your expectation,’ said P.Diddy.’ We would ultimately like to have Sean John viewed as the Future of Fashion.’

Sean John jackets, jeans, suits, Unforgiveable fragrance, and even Sean John clothing for children and women has become the epitome of what’s trendy today in the Urban, Pop, and Hip Hop clothing worlds. SoJones On-line cited Sean John clothing as the line to watch for 2006 and 2007, expecting more growth in the Sean John company’s success. As of 2008, Sojones rates Sean John the #1 Hip Hop clothing brand as it commands respect from its original design and high quality history.
