Kimora Lee Simmons is going to be debuting her line exclusively at JC Penney this month. For such a diva, we're a little surprised that she would agree to sell her clothes at a store that's not necessarily considered high end. But maybe she's realized that there's a whole market outside couture that she hasn't yet tapped into.The line, Fabulosity, will be selling online at JCP.com starting July. The brand will be part of the Juniors section and is considered "fashion sportswear," whatever that means.
When asked for comment, Kimora said, "I can't wait to bring Fabulosity to the JCPenney Juniors customer! Young teen girls are fabulous and my new collection will further build their confidence as they head back-to-school. Fabulosity is all about celebrating who you are and your individual greatness - living your dream and being whatever you want to be. This is a great message for young teens -- and I am so proud to partner with JCPenney on this collection."
Celebrating your individual hookerness is more like it -- judging by the crazy Kimora Lee Simmons Barbie doll. We can't wait to see what kind of clothes Kimora thinks are appropriate for teenage girls. We wouldn't be at all surprised if the line includes hooker boots and chinchilla fur coats!

I think what a lot of these reality TV stars need to understand (and, obviously, many of them do), is that the people who adore and respect them often aren't so much folks in their own tax bracket and demographic as teen girls from middle class families. They can't afford a $200 DVF top, but they might be able to talk Mom into a few reasonably priced outfits by someone else famous (like Kimora). Smart move. But, I'm hoping Kimora opts for fabulous and appropriate :)

Kristen, I agree with you. But I also think celebrities like Kimora Lee have reality shows to prove to their fans that life is not always peachy-keen and serene. Also, underprivilege girls can look to her as a role model--a woman of color who's successful in the fashion industry.
