Kimora Lee Simmons and her daughter Ming Lee Simmons take a walk down memory lane as they look back at fashion photos, modeling milestones, and growing up together as a family. Kimora reflects on launching her modeling career at just 13 years old, when she became Karl Lagerfeld’s youngest muse at Chanel after being discovered at a competition in Paris. She remembers racking up $5,000 monthly phone bills just to stay connected with her family back home.
The mother-daughter duo gets emotional as Kimora tears up looking at baby photos of Ming — and opens up about the early days of motherhood and building Baby Phat with her kids by her side: “You take your final bow, you have your kids. My life has always been about my family.” They share a full-circle moment when they look at a photo of Kimora in a leopard print dress — the very same dress Ming happens to be wearing during the interview.
Ming shares sweet (and funny) memories of growing up with her younger sister Aoki, and who between them was really the "troublemaker." Kimora and Ming also swap stories about high school and college graduations — including the time Kimora and Ming graduated at the same time (a moment Ming jokes was “rude”), and why Ming almost chose a different college just to avoid wearing a purple robe.
