Celebrities gracing the front row at the show included Tyra Banks, Star Jones, Vivica A. Fox, Rachel Smith and Victoria Silverstedt.
Kimora, half African-American, one quarter Korean and one quarter Japanese, joined a modeling class at age 11 and at age 13 she was awarded an exclusive modeling contract with prestigious fashion house, Chanel. Soon after her fourteenth birthday she was headed to Paris to work under designer Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel.
She quickly gained attention in the fashion world after Lagerfeld closed his haute couture show with Simmons who walked the runway decked as a child bride.
Kimora launched Baby Phat in 1999. She has also launched two perfumes for women, Goddess and Golden Goddess.
On August 5, 2007 Kimora's reality TV show, Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane, premiered on Style Network. The show chronicles her daily life and routine, along with her relationship with her two daughters Ming Lee and Aoki Lee Simmons.
