Kimora Lee Simmons (née Perkins; born May 4, 1975)〔(Russell's hip-hip birthday gift ) (April 26, 2004) ''People''. Accessed 2008-02-19.〕 is an American former fashion model and fashion designer. She took over Baby Phat after Russell Simmons and was CEO/Creative Director through 2010.
==Early life==
Simmons was born in St. Louis, Missouri.〔〔('Fabulosity,' by Kimora Lee Simmons ) (review January 22, 2006) ''TheBookStandard.com''. Accessed 2007-12-20.〕 Her Japanese/Korean mother, Joanne Perkins,〔('TV One on One' with Cathy Hughes ) (original airdate March 25, 2007) ''Tv One''. Accessed 2010-01-29.〕 was adopted by an American serviceman during the Korean War and raised in the USA. She later worked as an administrator for Social Security. Kimora's father, Vernon Whitlock Jr., is African American, and worked as a Federal Marshal, an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission investigator, a bail bondsman, and later became a barber in St. Louis.〔Phoebe Eaton (June 14, 2004) (Kimora Lee Simmons, the New Queen of Conspicuous Consumption ) ''New York Magazine''. Accessed 2007-12-20.〕 He was sentenced to 24 years in prison when Kimora was in grade school for distribution of narcotics. Whitlock was released after three years, after turning state's evidence against his supplier.〔 Her parents split up and she was raised by her mother.〔("Kimora Lee Simmons: “My Kids Make My World Go ‘Round”" ). August 2009.〕
Growing up in the northern St. Louis suburb of Florissant, Missouri, Kimora was the target of schoolyard bullying and teasing, because of her height (she was tall by the time she was 10 years old)〔〔Galina Espinoza (July 1, 2002). (Phat Cats ). ''People''. Accessed 2009-03-02.〕 and mixed ancestry. To give her confidence because of her height, Simmons's mother enrolled her in a modeling class when she was eleven years old. Two years later she was discovered by Marie-Christine Kollock (a representative for seminal Paris Agency Glamour) at a Model Search in Kansas City (organized by Kay Mitchell) and sent to Paris.
Simmons is a graduate of Lutheran North High School in St. Louis, Missouri.
