Of course we all know that Kimora Lee Simmons, creative director for Baby Phat, was married to Vanessa and Angela Simmons uncle, Russell Simmons.
Kimora’s been in the fashion biz since she was discovered as a model at age 13. She started Baby Phat in 1998 and has been brushing aside haters ever since, now running 4 fashion brands with annual revenues estimated around $200 million. Kimora’s all about looking good while stacking paper to the ceiling.

Over the years Kimora’s watched Angela and Vanessa grow up, star in a successful reality show, then start their footwear line which took off faster than you can say Run’s House! Pastry is now a direct competitor to Baby Phat. Annual revenues for Pastry are rumored to be over $50 million this year.

PASTRY’s signature item is the hitop. Kimora’s been making these boots for a while now. Who will win the hitop game? Here’s two similar styles, one from each brand. They’re both $70. Who ran it best?

PASTRY KILLS IT NO MATTER WHAT… babyphat is OUTPLAYED and Boring… Everybody and their MOMMMA’s where babyphat… Hardly Anyone Rocks Pastry much… because its hot and fresh… Give pastry time and they’ll be better than Baby Phat
I agree wit dolly about every1 wearing baby phat. Pastry shoes are a betta quality I had a pair of baby phats n da sole started comin off in like 2 weeks made me 2 mad.
her daughters r so cute
i know, aoki looks just like russell, and she looks older now! Even though she is like 7
wow the vote right now is 58% for pastry, 42% for baby phat. never thought it would be that close i guess kimora still got it. (but out of loyalty id still get the pastry ones of course.) 🙂
i love kimora and angela and simmons they make a lot of good stuff. I LOVE U ALL
equal too hard to decide both so cute
i would ahave to say auntie k u got it cuz she didnt bring out things for a while then bam she snapped wit these here
they are both cuteee !!
both r cute & luk soo much alike well i guess great dsigners think alike!!!
At first i voted for the pastrys but the name rubs off and the doys fell off as well( not all) but it was my fault to get them notthing against the sisters but my mom said i and my sister could pick 1 thing we want to go with our other presents under $50.00 and I saw these BabyPhat shoes and I just ordered them like maybe less or a little bit more then half an hour ago. they come in 1-2 days. the only reason we oprdered them now was because they had a two day sale if you buy over $25.00 you get free shipping other wise we woulda waited. but i really want those stretchy pants with the pink line on the back pockets.
I like baby phat but I don't think its as hot as it use to be. I think that she isn't putting a lot into this line as she is with her KLS line. If I could aford it I would be all on that but since I can't. I know she came out with Fabolousity is that still out? I think Pastry is the future
her kids r so cute
OMG skecthers copyed off of baby phat too because if you go to they (dumb) website you see these shoes that look like bab phat high tops. I guess skecthers like the SIMMONS FAMILY taste!!!!!!!!!!! GET UR OWN STYLE SKECTHERS
pastrys got to win baby
