What do you think personally contributed to this fashion line folding? I used to love rocking the jeans and accessories when it was "in". I also enjoyed Kimora's show that showed the inner workings and behind the scenes of the company.
What the first poster said. Phat farm. Fubu. Rockaware. all bit the pop culture dust. idk if people still wear ecko
Exactly. People got tired of brands plastering their logo all over the place. You see what happened to Coach and Juicy Couture.It looked/looks cheap
It had/has a big arse cat on all its pieces just about

Ecko and SouthPole are still very much around. They changed to a more Karmaloop, Nike dunk, OVO, Supreme, Bathing Ape platform.

Most of us outgrew the brand. It was marketed to junior's-20 something's and as fashion moved away from the heavily "urban" (I.e. black) styles of the late 90's to the mid 00's into more preppy, European, minimalist, etc inspired fashions Baby phat failed to transition with it's core market. Tbh with the popularity of sportswear fashion it could come back now and be the female version of OVO but they wound need to market it much better.
Still waiting on the youngins bring FILA back. I got a FILA tracksuit buried somewhere and I WILL be the flyest bish come 2020 :Baby Phat will rise again!!!
GOD IS GOOD, ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE!!

I honestly think people consider it "out of style" when it's an Urban company.

LV has also experienced a decline in sales, especially in China. They even had to close down some of the boutiques there because Chinese women are so turned off by the brand and excessive logos. So no, it's not just an urban street wear dilemma.

LIFE GOTTENits back. rock the sweat suit jacket. get your life
I always got the impression that whenever the black community embraces something, whites are quick to say it's out of style, overrated, etc... They'll be wearing the same brand for decades but as soon as we wear it, it's damaged goods.

I was just talking about this the other day with co-workers. To this day, I cannot find a pair of jeans that would fit me like Baby Phat. She knew how to dress a women with curves. I knew the brand was in trouble when she "stepped down" to focus on other projects.
I would kill for a pair of her jeans and one of her winter vests.

That's why I don't rush to wear those designer goods. They are made by white people, for white people.
They don't really appreciate our patronage.
Just look at the comments from Mike Jeffries about only wanting " all-American [code for "white"] kids wearing Abercrombie. He was raking in all that dough from kids from all walks of life buying the brand but was still snubbing them in interviews.
:dead: Them white-purse Euros had Oprah shook with her negro wakeup call. LOL. I like Oprah but, she should've known better. Hell, she shoulda been doing her own clothing, home goods and purse line a long time ago. People would buy. If Jessica Simpson's no talent ass can have a profitable clothing line, so can Oprah.Exactly! The White fashion industry will be quick to tell you that a brand like House of Dereon is trash, ghetto, etc and scoff at those wearing it, all the while inviting Beyonce to wear their clothing based off of Urban designs much like hers! And the kicker is, they only put her in their sh!t because she's an acceptable kneegrow!
For example: Oprah and the purse incident.

I would love to read your stories? cause i want to know, what was with kimora using the cat logo?I worked for Phat Fashions for 8 years until the company was dismantled. Phat Fashions was sold to Kellwood and Russell and Kimora went separate ways. Russell started Argyleculture, and Kimora ran the brand in the ground. I've talked about this several times on here.

It was in memory of her old cat that died.

I think urban wear brands went out of style almost all at once.
i could never afford that stuff so i didn't have it. i do remember when i finally could afford a BF shirt in 2005/2006 it was totally out of style. i wore it and quickly got embarrassed. lol
maybe i have the year wrong but i clearly remember being embarrassed because several of my friends commented on itBaby Phat was in style till about 2009 2005/06 was in their height. It was a status symbol.
ok, thanks I thought maybe she couldn't think of anything.It was in memory of her old cat that died.
