    This outfit is ugly. Well maybe on a 15 year old it’s cute and hood but for anyone over the age of 21 it’s not a good look…I don’t see Kimora wearing her own line, that should tell you something…it ain’t made for grown folk.

    That outfit is cute. Its a varsity jacket, jeans and a tote bag. Nothing too complicated about that. Kimora doesnt wear her own line b/c its cheap, trust

    True! True!! I love her jeans though & im 33, would have more if that d*m cat was not plastered on the back, the fit is just right. But the shirts and dresses are for the 21 and below!! & yes she does not wear this line because its cheap but her KLS line is to pricey for the mess she has..

    If you read the flyer, that outfit retails for $400. What’s cheap about that? I just got turned on to Akademiks jeans and they fit even better than baby phat jeans plus they’re better quality. BP been coming out with the same ish for years, time for them to upgrade.

    One thing about fashion… You don’t have to wear it together just because it matches. I see three different fits, and a tote that could be used for an overnight trip. I’m 22 and I could rock each one of those items seperately and look truly gorgeous… It’s all about being who you are and expressing that regardless of others lack of taste!

    I love akademiks sooooo much. I love the way you can be an akademik student clothes wise. Its so nice and colorful and expresses how i feel as a lady. No other clothing line makes me enjoy being me. I’m comfortable in it and it makes me stand out in the crowd.
