E! Announces Series Kimora Back In The Fab Lane

E! has announced the December premiere of a series centering Kimora Lee Simmons.

The tagline for the show reads: “The show, premiering in December, will follow the now single mom of five as she commands a billion-dollar empire while running her iconic Baby Phat brand. Between dealing with the whims of her top-model daughters Ming, 25, and Aoki, 22, cheering on her 13-year-old son Kenzo and 15-year-old son Gary during championship games and celebrating her own major milestones with her youngest Wolfe, 10, Kimora’s world is even more fabulous and outrageous than ever before.”

Adidas Originals And Willy Chavarria Release Footwear Collection

adidas Originals and Willy Chavarria have released their latest footwear offering from their collaborative Spring/Summer 2025 collection.

“The footwear includes Chavarria’s take on the archival adidas Jabbar sneaker, created for Kareem Abdul Jabbar, one of the most celebrated basketball players of all time. The relaunch of the original adidas franchise from 1978 is in recognition of Kareem’s achievements on and off-court for a new generation,” states a press release.

The designer remade the Jabbar with two iterations for SS25 Drop 1, including the Chavarria Jabbar Low and Chavarria Jabbar Dress. The former features a unique foldover tongue and was created using a premium aniline leather and is topped off with gold branding, which pays homage to its original makeup. The latter includes premium materials and takes inspiration from men’s dress shoes and creepers. The Chavarria Jabbar Dress also features a pointed dress silhouette paired with a debossed adidas trefoil on each heel.

The first drop from adidas Originals and Willy Chavarria SS25 is available in select adidas stores, the adidas CONFIRMED app, on willychavarria.com, adidas.com/willy_chavarria, and in select retailers starting today.
