New York: June 2021:
Phat Fashions, LLC partners with Sportlife Brands, LLC and affiliates for on a wide range of products under the Baby Phat and Phat Farm brands.
About: Baby Phat, Phat Farm
Kimora Lee Simmons first established the urban womenswear brand, Phat Fashions LLC, in 1999. Simmons was inspired to start the company after her initial disappointment with a prototype of a Phat Farm t-shirt for women, which she saw as a "very athletic and basic, scaled-down version of what a guy would wear." After this, she created a collection for women by using her body shape as a guide, and took on the responsibility of being Baby Phat's designer.
The clothing brand included jeans and tops adorned with a curved cat logo which was inspired by her pet Siamese cat, Max. Simmons later said she created the collection because "women - especially women of color - had no voice in the streetwear industry. It’s in our DNA; this brand is created for women, by women.
