Event location and attendees

The show took place inside the Silver Air hangar where a private jet was present. The crowd included Y2K survivors and Gen Zers who experienced the era secondhand. Jaleel White served as an elder statesman while models performed on stage.

Founder commentary on style

Kimora Lee, founder of Baby Phat, held court aboard the aircraft during the event. She explained that the collection focused on aspiration rather than just expensive jewelry. Lee noted that fans could own jeans if they could not afford a large pink diamond.

Collection design details

The co-branded collection features True Religion denim with aggressively topstitched fabric and flap pockets. Baby Phat pieces included items with slinky cat logos on the back. The event celebrated the revival of low-rise, blinged-out early-aughts energy.
