My Take

Kimora Lee Simmons earns my respect for understanding, earlier than most, that a model's real product is not her face but her point of view. Discovered as a teenager and signed to Chanel, she could have coasted on runway prestige; instead she built Baby Phat in 1999 and turned herself into a brand architect. I find her instinct for reinvention as model, designer, television personality, and businesswoman genuinely impressive, because each pivot happened on her own terms. She represents a generation of models who refused to stay merchandise. In the attention economy, that kind of ownership is the rarest skill of all.
