Baby Phat Spring 2007
Olympus Fashion Week began with a bang this Friday; no less than 20 fashion houses paraded their latest offerings and among them was Kimora Lee Simmon's third child aka Baby Phat. Not being one to shy away from the spotlight, Kimora had all her models don different colored 'grillz' as they sashayed down the runway – class at its best! The collection itself was typical Baby Phat; street-wear with a splash of high fashion thrown in for good measure. Kimora and her team put their spin on the conventional business suit and played around with modern tailoring. Silk, satin and anything else shiny were the materials of choice; used to make up most of this collection, they added the typical showmanship and sparkle that is synonymous with the label. And now for the bad news… I hated the grillz. They were so unnecessary and made the whole show look tacky. I also wasn’t too keen on the cut-away swimsuits and tops – been there, done that, can we move on please?! And the crazy ‘leaf’ hats the models wore were a little confusing; they didn’t really match the outfits they were paired with. Overall, it was an average collection, but then again I’ve never been a huge fan of Kimora’s line – either way it doesn’t really matter what I think, she’ll probably make millions-upon-millions of dollars from sales this year!
