The end of an era in urban fashion is upon us.

On Monday, runway diva-turned-fashion mogul Kimora Lee Simmons announced her departure as creative director of Baby Phat Fashions in a statement to E! Online. Simmons — who launched the femme-friendly brand under then-husband Russell Simmons’ Phat Farm imprint in 1997 — says she’s stepping down from her post to pursue other ventures after spending more than a decade at the brand she helped to launch.

“After 14 years of conceiving and nurturing Baby Phat, it’s time for me to move on and further expand my other businesses and create a new phenomenon. I adore all those who have faithfully been with me since the beginning,” said Simmons — a mother of three. “I’m forever dedicated to my family, fans and customers. My inspiration has always come from the fabulous women who have been with me through the years as we’ve grown from young party girls to power players! We’re ready for our next journey together and we’re taking a whole new generation of incredible young women with us. Girl power unite!”

Simmons’s Style Network reality series, Kimora: Life In The Fab Lane, is currently shooting its fourth season.

The Style Network has ordered seven one-hour episodes of Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane. The third season of the show will continue to follow the former Chanel model as she raises her family with actor Djimon Hounsou and works as CEO of Baby Phat, a company founded with ex-husband and hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons.

A half-hour special, airing on Sunday, Feb. 14 @ 10 PM ET, will kick off the new season with never before seen home videos documenting the birth of Kimora and Djimon’s son,, Kenzo Lee.

Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane Season 3 premieres Sunday, March 21 at 9:00 PM ET.

Kenzo Lee Hounsou, born in June, is the first son for Djimon and Kimora, who has two daughters from her marriage to hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons.

Kimora Lee Simmons and Djimon Hounsou have named their newborn son Kenzo Lee Hounsou. Kenzo — named in honor of retired Japanese fashion icon Kenzo Takada — was born in New York City on Saturday, weighing in at 8 pounds, and was 20 inches long.

Little Kenzo is the third child for the Baby Phat founder — who already has two daughters, Ming Lee and Aoki Lee, with ex-husband Russell Simmons.

What do you think of the name?

Kimora Lee Simmons and boyfriend Djimon Hounsou have welcomed a baby boy.

The 34-year-old Baby Phat designer made the announcement on her Twitter page late Saturday.

“It’s a boy! Thanks to everyone out there for all your well wishes! More to come. Thank God. And God Bless! Kimora + Djimon Love & Light, KLS,” she wrote.

Before the baby’s big arrival, Kimora spent part of the day keeping fans updated on her delivery with the help of Twitter messages. She even posted a picture of herself in the hospital. “It’s time !! No turning back! At hospital in labor right now!!” Her last Twitter update before making the announcement reads: “Having contractions now! Ooo- wee! It’s like WHOA!”

Kimora has two daughters — Ming Lee, 9, and Aoki Lee, 6 — with Russell Simmons. The boy is the first child for Djimon, 45, the Oscar-nominated star of Amistad and Blood Diamond.

Kimora Lee Simmons is only a few hours away from becoming a mother for the third time.

The Baby Phat designer and former wife of Russell Simmons is currently in labor with boyfriend Djimon Hounsou’s baby — and what better way to let everyone know than Twitter.

“It’s time !! No turning back! At hospital in labor right now!! Love & Light, KLS,” Kimora tweeted early Saturday.

At 34, former model Kimora Lee Simmons is expecting her first child with Oscar-nominated actor Djimon Hounsou, 45, this June.

The Baby Phat designer hosted a baby shower at her New Jersey home on April 19, among the 50 guests in attendance were music legend Stevie Wonder and his wife, Kai, actress Holly Robinson Peete, Carolyn Banks, mother of former supermodel Tyra Banks, and Kimora’s daughters, Ming Lee, 9, and Aoki Lee, 6.

Kimora hasn’t had the sex of the baby confirmed yet, but she says, “We’re leaning heavily toward the blue team!”

Kimora Lee Simmons and her Oscar-nominated boyfriend Djimon Hounsou were married in a ceremony in the actor’s native Benin, Africa last summer.

Despite their best efforts, the couple couldn’t make the union official in the U.S. because Kimora was still technically married to mogul Russell Simmons. Their divorce was finalized on Jan. 28.

Kimora’s faux African wedding was apparently as wild as her Baby Phat fashion shows, the NY Daily News wrote on Monday.

“Both Kimora and Djimon wore traditional dashikis. She went whole hog with the African theme − there were African drums, a traditional ceremony with dancers . . . they even had a hut!”

Aoki and Ming, the Baby Phat designer’s daughters with Simmons, were on-hand for the ceremony.

“Aoki slept through the entire ceremony, and Ming cried. They were pretty confused as to what was going on,” says the Daily News source.

Djimon and Kimora are expecting their first child together later this year.

Russell Simmons, 51, has taken to his popular Global Grind blog to explain the recent court “order” granting his ex-wife, Kimora Lee Simmons, $40,000 a month in child support. The hip-hop entrepeneur calls the decision to shower his two daughters with the massive monthly figure his own.

“I am reading these stories today about how a judge ordered me to pay Kimora $40,000 a month in child support and I want to make something very clear. Nothing was ordered, it was given. My kids have a fabulous life; they are exposed to a broad range of artistic and scholastic educational programs and I’m very happy to contribute to that. As long as I have it, they can have it. If I ever don’t have it, I’m coming to live with them!”
