Soon after, she forged a close friendship with model Tyra Banks and became a self-proclaimed muse of Lagerfeld. Kimora, along with three other models, were dubbed "the four Karlettes."

Simmons' fashion design career started shortly after marrying Russell Simmons. Her then-husband had begun creating baby clothing from his Phat Farm clothing line. Kimora Lee then took the project on herself, and Baby Phat was created in 1999.

In January 2004, Kimora Lee and Russell Simmons sold the apparel and licensing of the Baby Phat and Phat Farm brands to Kellwood Company for $140 million.

The couple also signed with Vida Shoes International to create a line of women's shoes under the Baby Phat line. In 2007, Kimora Lee Simmons was promoted by Kellwood to President and Creative Director of Phat Fashions, which covered both Baby Phat and Phat Farm.

Simmons has also been a judge for many model and fashion-based television programs, including "America's Next Top Model" and MTV's "Fashionably Loud." In 2007, she started appearing on "Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane," a reality show.
