After a few years hiatus of divorce, remarriage, birth of a son, another divorce and finding herself a loving Billionaire for a third husband, Kimora Lee Simmons has been through a whole fucking lot since her relationship with her previous design house, Baby Phat was dissolved in 2010. Bringing world wide attention and assimilation of hip-hop couture and urban luxe fashion to the public, much of the current fashion landscape can be laid at her and her former husband and business partner and father of her two daughters (Ming and Aoki) Russell Simmons feet with no sense, eve of overstatement or insincerity to that claim.
Her new fashion venture could not be any further from the celebratory days of Baby Phat, Here her KLS Collection is deeply Smart and Sophisticated and with a penchant for Bod-Con dresses (sort of like Celeb-turned-designer Victoria Beckham's clothes were at her labels inception) with a flattering cut and sleek aesthetic. Simmons' Spring/Summer offering was brief, but impactful, shaved down and pared back to an essential emphasis on graphic executions of Black and White with a touch of Hot Pink and Navy for contrast and a throw in a Silver Lamé draped gown for good measure too! Keeping lengths modest, but still sexy was the overarching theme of the showing.
Without a single note of hyperbole, every outfit was a high, there wasn't one low in the bunch. Simmons cast a gimlet eye on the edit and kept everything laser focused, which produced a worthwhile and exciting effort. Simmons has the background and with this collection as proof, the skill to further propel her new venture to the highest echelons of success, and if the results are, going forward, this excellent, the heavens are her limit!
That's All.
Bye4Now!
