Here’s a look at what you might not know about Kimora Lee Simmons.
Customers can peruse everything from sunglasses to denim tobags and purses.
Simmons took over the reins at JustFab in September 2011.
Aoki told People that she is completely enamored with her shoe line.
I really love how everything looks super high-end.
I don’t think shoes have to be expensive to look classy."
She began modeling back when she was only 13 years old.
Simmons has been honest about her time as a young model; in 2013, she toldHello!
Magazinethat there is a lot that girls who want to follow in her footsteps should keep in mind.
“But the business is a lot of fun, that’s for sure.”
I felt like the ugliest duckling in the world.
One thing led to another, and Simmons was signed by Marilyn Gaultier at a modeling conference.
As she toldEssencein October 2020, making everything work for everyone she loves is all about balance.
For starters, her kids have to go to school, and they have needs that must be met.
“I just venture to juggle everything, venture to prioritize what’s really important.”
When it comes to her children, Simmons is ultra-protective.
As she explained toYahoo!
Entertainmentin 2010, her two daughters were restricted from quite a lot.
She said, “I’m very guarded about my kids.
They don’t have cell phones or BlackBerrys.
They don’t wear two-piece bikinis or makeup.”
Of course, Simmons did feature all three children on her reality series “Fab Lane.
This checks out with an earlier interview about parenting that Simmons gave toPeoplein 2007.
As she said, “I’m very strict with my kids.
I let them be free and happy, but I expect respect, discipline, and self-control.
I’m always with them or on the phone checking every little thing.
Did they flush the toilet?
What did they eat?
What time did they go to bed?
I’m a very hands-on mother.”
She has since been described as the designer’s muse, a designation that catapulted her into superstardom.
Some people do get caught up in it and it totally knocks them over.
But as far as I’m concerned right now, it’s fine.”
Her mother is Korean and Japanese and her father is a Black American (viaVibe).
Ultimately, doing so is what helped her go on to be successful in so many avenues and pathways.
Simmons had to face these challenges and instances of discrimination in her personal life, too.
They got married four years later in 1998 (perThe New York Times).
In fact, Russell has had to defend their time together more than once.
She was legal at 17 … but she turned 18 that May.
Kimora and Russell share two daughters, Aoki and Ming.
Kimora has been open about their co-parenting journey.
And I said, ‘I don’t care it’s my kids!’
This endeavor also allowed her to bring daughters Aoki and Ming into the fold.
Simmons told Elle that Black women and women of color were at the center of the development process.
I’d like to bring these young women along on my ride.
She married Leissner in February 2014, though the news didn’t come out publicly for a few days.
The details of her marital status were revealed by none other than her ex-husband, according toUs Weekly.
