Yesterday the news broke on twitter that as of September 1st, Kimora Lee Simmons will be leaving Baby Phat fashions. What does this mean for the future of Baby Phat? Surely with a change in management the clothing lines under the Kellwood Company's management will have
some updates. Perhaps this means that the fashion line will take a turn. Since the urban wear audience that Baby Phat targets is starting to adopt more sartorial styles, perhaps the powers at be will make sure that the Baby Phat clothing line does the same. But, then again, maybe not. Since many high end designers such as Christian Louboutin, Balenciaga and Gucci are incorporating the stylistic qualities that are characteristic of urban wear into their most recent collections. So, perhaps Russell and Kimora were actually ahead of their time when they started their street wear dynasties? Only time will tell.
