Fashion mogul Kimora Lee Simmons has some advice for young women making their way in the business world while looking for love.  Find out what she said inside and get deets on her views on relationships and being single. 

Kimora Lee Simmons is still making waves in the fashion world with "Kimora: House Of Fab" on the small screen and her online empire JustFab.com. 

Outside of her business ventures, the fashionista talked to the Daily Mail about her life as a single woman.  She also gave an interesting perspective on how relationships change and evolve (while explaning her friendship with her children's fathers) and she offered advice to women on the dating scene.  Here are the highlights:

 

On how things have changed between her and Russell Simmons and between her and Djimon Hounsou:

"Relationships do change throughout the course of your life and I always think in terms of relationships changing and evolving rather than starting and stopping. Kids never go away from your life and if you've been married, that person probably never goes away either. You never get rid of anyone and...they never really get rid of you!"

On being single:

"I'm not with anyone at the moment – it's just my kids and their two dads."

"I think [men] are sometimes [intimidated], but men are intimidated by a lot of things, you know, such as jobs and bit of determination. They have a lot of insecurities about who we are, what we have, what we look like, what we've accomplished and what we're capable of because we're fabulous and capable of doing so much and juggling so much every day."

On advice for fabulous women looking for men:

"People might be mad I'm saying this, but [men] do have a lot of hang-ups. But that shouldn't deter you ladies from being great! You don't have to dumb down – you just have to find a clever, good, secure man. I've found a couple – I've been lucky – but it's probably hard for everybody to find that true love of a good man."

On her life's journey:

"I was modelling at ten, I married very young and I've done everything pretty early. I always joke that I've had several midlife crises already! I've definitely made mistakes along the way...'but I've got a good head on my shoulders.... things have turned out pretty well so far."

On being bullied and how it created the woman she is today:

"I was bullied and picked on because I was so different to everyone else, and I definitely didn't believe or even know I was fabulous back then. But those hard times made me everything I am today. It's all water under the bridge now, but being bullied and going through adversity definitely made me stronger."

 

Loving this advice.  "Kimora: House Of Fab" airs on the Style Network.

*thumbs down* for her......

*thumbs down* for her...... women are always using the excuse that men can't 'handle' a successful, or determined woman.... there is BIG difference between being 'successful, and determined' vs. being 'obsessive and B**chy'..... no REAL man (white, black or other) wants a no-good, unproductive woman...so if a woman finds herself with a man who desires for her to fall short of her true potential or feels intimidated by a truly 'determined and successful' woman (not obsessive and___)...chances are... you will soon become that which he desires which is no good, and unproductive.... and if you find yourself a better woman, and a MORE successful woman after you look back at that past relationship... short of cheating, abuse, etc....then it may have not been the man who was the problem in the relationship

You don't know what really

You don't know what really transpired in her relationships behind closed doors so how can you give her a thumbs down? I appreciate what you said but I too have had similiar issues with ex-boyfriends who suffer from straight up BITCHASSNESS; jealous, insecure, unwilling to listen to ANYONE'S point of view but their own, etc. Not bad people; just stubborn or not living up to their potential and MAD that I was damn sure living up to mine! Just like y'all don't want a 'lazy or unproductive' woman--or a gold-digger, we damn sure don't want lazy, unproductive scrubs or male-gold-diggers either! The bottom line is that men are naturally competitive; and often turn life events--like looks, attention, salary, job titles-into competitions with their mates when its simply not necessary to do so.

not all men....just the ones

not all men....just the ones you attract... :-) the first one.... yes, I am intimately aware of why that one ended...the second one... no...

Not all women either--and its

Not all women either--and its not about the kind of men I attract. 1-not *all* of my past loves have fallen short and 2-lots of people put up fronts until the sex starts or the relationship progresses. So again let's not say 'all' because no-one knows ALL the facts about anything.

Thanks Godiva... for the

Thanks Godiva... for the above and this. Also, lol @ being "intimately" aware. Unless he is Russell Simmons, I don't understand how people who aren't in the relationship themselves can deduce why things ended. Shrug.

Thanks for shouting me out

Thanks for shouting me out :-) Some of the comments on this board show what's wrong with ppl in the world: the assumption that ppl know EVERYTHING about EVERYBODY, especially negative things like 'all blacks' or 'all women'. Not true.

Well said.

Well said.
