Fashion mogul Kimora Lee Simmons is making her way back to television screens this December. After a 13-year hiatus, the entrepreneur and mother of five will revive her popular reality series on E! Network.
Fans can look forward to seeing the Baby Phat founder navigate her fashion empire while managing life as a single mother. The show promises to deliver the glamour and drama that made the original series a hit from 2007 to 2011.
Fashion Empire Queen Returns to Reality Television
Kimora Lee Simmons recently broke the news that her long break from television is officially over. The fashion designer and media personality announced the revival of her reality show with an enthusiastic social media post captioned “Guess who’s bizzack.”
The new project, titled “Back In The Fab Lane,” serves as a reboot of her previous hit show “Life in the Fab Lane.” According to E! News, viewers will get an inside look at how Simmons leads her fashion business while balancing her role as a mother of five children.
The series will showcase her daily life managing the Baby Phat brand, which she relaunched in 2023 specifically for Gen-Z shoppers. Simmons founded the women-focused company in 1999, transitioning from her successful modeling career to brand ownership.
Model Daughters Ming and Aoki Step Into the Spotlight
The show will highlight Kimora’s two adult daughters, Ming, 25, and Aoki, 22, as they follow their mother’s footsteps in fashion and modeling. Both young women appeared in the original series and are featured in the promotional video for the upcoming reboot.
Ming and Aoki have already made names for themselves in the modeling world. Their journey as they continue to build their careers in fashion will be a central storyline in the new series.
The sisters represent the next generation of the Simmons fashion legacy. Their presence adds a compelling dimension to the show as viewers can witness how they’ve grown from the children they were in the original series to fashion industry professionals today.
Juggling Motherhood and Business Success
Between managing her fashion empire and raising five children, Kimora’s life remains as busy and glamorous as ever. The show will capture her parenting moments across children of various ages.
“Between dealing with the whims of her top-model daughters Ming, 25, and Aoki, 22, cheering on her 13-year-old son Kenzo and 15-year-old son Gary during championship games, and celebrating her own major milestones with her youngest Wolfe, 10, Kimora’s world is even more fabulous and outrageous than ever before,” states the official show description.
Kimora has been married twice, first to hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, who is the father of her two oldest children. The series will likely touch on her experiences as a single mother and how she manages to balance her personal and professional responsibilities.
Baby Phat Revival for a New Generation
Fans of the iconic 2000s fashion brand will get an inside look at Kimora’s efforts to revitalize Baby Phat for today’s shoppers. The brand, known for its trendsetting urban fashion, has been reimagined specifically for Gen-Z consumers.
The 2023 relaunch represents a significant business move for Simmons. The show will document her strategic approach to bringing the beloved Y2K aesthetic to a new generation of fashion enthusiasts.
Produced by E! Network, “Back In The Fab Lane” is set to premiere in December. The series promises to showcase how Simmons continues to evolve the Baby Phat brand while maintaining its iconic status in the fashion world.
