Kimora Lee Simmons ditching Baby Phat line


Kimora Lee Simmons has now divorced her Baby Phat fashion line. The ex-wife of Russell Simmons, who founded the men's-fashion brand Phat Farm, from which Baby Phat was born, said on Twitter that she'll leave the line next month. Kellwood Company bought the Phat Fashions brands in 2004 in a $140 million deal, with Lee staying on as president and creative director. She said in a statement she was going to "further expand her other businesses." Baby Phat won't show at Fashion Week for the second straight season. -NY Post
