The early 2000s version of myself is having a *moment* because Baby Phat's is back with a new collection. Kimora Lee Simmons' personal brand left an impressionable mark on the fashion industry, and she wants us to remember why we fell in love with it. I'm a part of #teammillennial, so this brings back sooooo many memories of rummaging through my sister's closetfor different Baby Phat pieces — like the soft bathrobe I still have today.
What I remember most about Baby Phat is how empoweringit was. Simmons found a unique, underrepresented lane in 1999, made it hers, and shared it with everyone else. More importantly, she made sure to weave motherhoodthroughout Baby Phat's campaign photos and runway shows.
Now that a new collection is available to shop, Simmons makes it clear that she's hear to reclaim the beauty of Baby Phat's heyday. She said, "This drop is a celebration of an era that left an indelible mark on fashion. The cross-generation love of individuality and self-expression represents the timeless nature of the early 2000s."
In other words, it's an ode to those who can't get enough of nostalgic styles and love to find ways to weave that into their wardrobes. If you miss a time where velour tracksuits and notable logos were ever present, get ready to shop Baby Phat's Fall/Winter 2023 collection.
