I have to say that I love Baby Phat and Kimora Lee Simmons for what they bring to fashion. Now if only she and designers like her could make their clothes affordable. Even Beyonce called her House of Dereon discounted line, Dereon, affordable. $70-100 for a pair of jeans is not affordable to the girls and young women that look up to them. I'm sure that if you asked them what they were able to afford when they were the age of their demographic, they would NOT say $70 jeans. Then again, Beyonce was opening shows at 14 and Kimora was the face of Chanel at 15, so what do I know.
