Women who golf. What the heck is this?
So many things have happened
as we have progressed down the fab lane.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
KIMORA: Aoki is back from Bali.
- Mom! - KIMORA: Aoki!
I’m back.
KIMORA: At home, things are tense.
AOKI: You don’t seem too happy to see me.
- Well, you left. - For six months.
You’re saying six months like, it’s, like, no time at all.
Please.
While you’re here, you need to spend time
with your siblings.
Ming and Aoki, they fight like crazy.
Healthy means fat in this house,
and you’re kind of an asshole for that.
Did I miss anything? That’s kind of it in a nutshell.
We are back in the fab lane.

Do my boobs look a little uneven?
Because I notice sometimes in tube tops, with no strap.
You should pick this one up.
You want to-- Ming!
They feel even.
Is that a ponytail on top of your head?
Yeah, you like it? It’s a half up, half down.
- But it’s a ponytail? - Yeah, it’s a ponytail holder.
- What are you... -I thought it was, like, a bun.
Is it a bang?
I have learned from being in close proximity
to a lot of Ivy Leaguers
that they kind of look down on other schools.
I graduated Harvard early.
I got a double major, classics and government.
I’m one of the youngest people with my degree in the world.
I graduated from NYU in 2023.
It was fashion business and consumer behavior.
- You guys play nice. - MING: I’m so sorry.
We can’t all go to Harvard.
Give me this!
KIMORA: Sometimes the sisters are a little crazy.
They were so close together growing up.
I think now they’re like,
okay, you can get out of my space, quickly.
Okay, wait, I just wanted to, like,
touch base with you all together as a group, a unit.
I wanted you to see what we’ve been working on.
We can talk about any things, hopes,
dreams, desires, preferably for the brand.
- Are you paying attention? - Can I have this, Mommy?
Hold on, Aoki, You have to pay attention
because it’s not even like I have you that often.
Okay, you guys, see, can you stand together
like Alvin and the Chipmunks?
Wait. Am I Alvin?
No, Alvin is one of the Chipmunks.
Oh, you’re so cute. You’re chic.
Aren’t these cute, you guys?
It means so much to me that my kids work with me.
AOKI: Why is it so gloomy outside today?
KIMORA: Stop moving.
Because Baby Phat and my girls
just kind of grew up together.
I took them out on the runway when they were little.
Every show, they were there to take a bow at the end.
Aren’t they cute? Let’s talk about the jackets.
They’re very nice. Thick material.
Do you see the patches? Do you see the 25 years?
Do you see the little foam?
AOKI: Baby Phat’s as old as Ming? That’s so crazy.
- Are you paying attention? - MING: No.
But working together, it’s not always great.
I need you guys to really honestly pay attention to this.
I’m trying to work. That’s what we do here.
They are a little bit silver platter,
silver spoon kids, because it’s my spoon.
It’s my platter, and they’re eating off of it.
You guys are irritating me.
You guys never go to work.
Brandon, what do I do for the company?
I do creative direction for Baby Phat.
I do shoots. I do designs.
I just started working for her just now.
In theory, we all have the same responsibilities.
In reality...
Give us a twirl. What is this?
- Are these Baby Phat? - AOKI: They could be.
They really couldn’t be.
I’m so sorry, but we don’t need a bohemian maxi skirt
for Baby Phat, so I’ll make the tracksuits.
It’s okay.
KIMORA: This is a problem because you guys
should be doing more.
Do you understand that?
My children need to have
a little bit more of a go-getter attitude.
I give my kids a lot, so I try to teach them that,
"Hey, you’re not living your life.
"You’re living my life."
So you need to be able to stand on your own two feet
and be able to claim your world and your life for yourself.
Mingy Lee.
So, you and Aoki are going to do the 25-year anniversary shoot.
You will execute the shoot,
oversee all the stuff, hire the models.
My girls will inherit Baby Phat.
But I don’t want to hand stuff over to them

Pick up, I’m trying to show you my sunglasses.
[FaceTime ringing]
Okay, no answer.
This is crazy. What? I want to talk about my glasses.
I don’t want to be treated like this.
Okay, it’s giving nobody wants to talk to mom.
KENZO: Stretch your spine out right here.
Right. Put your foot.
One foot in there. No, put that-- Put it.
- Put it. - Yeah, put your feet in there.
Yeah, unless you kind of fall back.
GARY: Not too far. Not too far, bro.
- It’s not about too far. - That’s good.
You got to lean all the way back.
- Gotta go all the way back. - That’s good.

- Hi. - MITHRA: Hi.
Hi, I’m Ming. Nice to meet you.
I’m Mithra.
- Are you excited? - I’m very excited.
I’ve never done anything like this before,
so I’m actually a little nervous.
My sister and I made plans
to try something new and go to aerial yoga.
Don’t be nervous.
My life is in your hands today.
My sister getting home started out a little rocky.
My mom said that she wanted us to work
on our teamwork and do things together more.
This is already hard.
MITHRA: Gently put in an ankle.
Ah! Okay.
But I’m here, and Aoki is not,
which, typical, but also very annoying.
- Yes! - Oh, my God.
I look kind of cute.
[Mithra exclaiming]
- Hello! - MING: Oh, my gosh.
Excuse me, where have you been?
Busy. Sorry.
Is this what it’s going to be, like, filming
every single YouTube video, I might die.
These are my books.
Favorite ever modeling memoir by far.
I don’t even know how long I want my YouTube videos to be.
I’m sorry. Hi, I’m Aoki. I’m normally on time for class.
- Nice to meet you. - She’s normally late.
And we’re very different.
Now, let’s see you do it.
I can’t do this.
- You can do it. You got it. - [Ming yelps]
- [Mind screams] - Light on the outside.
[Ming laughing] Wait!
- I don’t-- I don’t like this. - MITHRA: You can let go.
- Don’t point your toes. - Get away from me!
As the oldest sibling, I take on most responsibilities.
Ming’s and Aquarius. I’m a Leo.
She’s a little hesitant when it comes to things.
And Aoki is a free spirit.
She does whatever she wants to do at any given time.
So, I just wanted to talk to you about the shoot.
You have to, like, actually do the whole thing.
Wait, okay, but when you say the whole thing.
You have to help me and, like, pull your own weight.
I don’t want to help you.
I’m not against working with Ming.
Ming is very smart.
She’s very familiar with the creative side,
the fashion side, the design side.
But she likes to take over.
She’s oldest, I’m used to Ming telling me what’s what.
But, like, sometimes I find that annoying.
I can get out my spreadsheets.
- Is that helpful? - Yes.
It’s important for me that this shoot goes well.
It’s something that we’re putting together ourselves.
But also, just because it’s something
that we are going to show the world and my mom.
We’re not going to hire models because I think that
the best decision would be if you get a family shoot.
Because I’m the best model you know?
- Yes. - Thanks.
Aoki’s been gone a really long time,
but now it is time to work.
And I really need her to get her head in the game.
Okay, how much did you sign me up for?
I didn’t. This is a free thing you’re doing for your family.
Ming is insufferable type A.
Yeah, I’m definitely type A.
I like things to be exactly how I want things to be.
MITHRA: Now, lean forward into it.
MING: And she’s more like fly by the seat of her pants.
I’m just going to do it and everything will be okay.
I’ve caused a lot of problems with my type B self.
I don’t think that’s the proper position.
We’re going to make it work. It’s going to be great.

Oh, thank you. [gasps] You’re day drinking.
- Oh, my, I don’t even drink. - Can I bring you some water?
- You know I don’t drink either. - KIMORA: Sure, still water.
- But I wanted one of those. - WAITRESS: Yes, of course.
Humberto’s Passion. I’ll get that for you.
I don’tOkay, got it. And sugar on the rim.
- Yes, thank you so much. Extra. - WAITRESS: You’re welcome.
When I’m drinking, sometimes I’m loud.
You know, I’m friends with the waitstaff.
"Hey, how you doing?"
Okay, it’s a friendly scene. I’m harmless, but it’s a scene.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
You have to look me in the eye
or it’s, like, seven years bad sex.
- Well-- - Cheers.
You’re having a great time.
I’m not having anything.
Unless it’s with you, sister.
- Then it’s nothing. [laughs] - And it’s not.
It’s not like I can’t get a man.
Okay, I’m definitely a little drunk.
- I swear. I swear. - LALA: You are not.
There is no way.
I’m telling you. Call Mingy.
- LALA: Call Mingy. - Call Mingy.
- That fast? - I don’t drink.
MING: Yes.
Mingy, I’m here with Lala at lunch.
Put her on speakerphone.
- She is on speakerphone. - What did she say?
She said hi. You’re on speaker.
I thought she said something smart.
Because I called you the other day and you didn’t pick it up.
- You didn’t pick up my call. - Hold on. Shh.
- MING: Lala, I can’t hear you. - Do you see the patrons?
Okay, hold on, Mingy. I’m at lunch with Lala.
We’re having a drink. I sipped hers and I sipped mine.
I said I’m drunk and she doesn’t believe me.
How many licks does it take
’til you get to the center of it?
MING: Literally like a sip.
Oh, okay. I believe it now.
- A sip. - Now that she is bursting out.
Oh, now that I sang the lyrics to "Tootsie," whatever.
- I don’t even know those songs. - Okay, bye. I love you.
Tootsie. You know that song.
- I don’t. I miss Prissy. - Oh, okay, bye.
Okay, I love you, but I just wanted you to vouch for me.
Thank you. I love you. Bye.
- Bye. - What’s been going on?
Everybody’s here in town
all at once, which is, like, great,
but a little bit crazy because the girls are the girls.
Get out of my seat. What does this say?
- Get out. Go. - Did you put your name on it?
- MING: I actually did it. - You guys gave yourself seats?
You guys didn’t give anything. It’s my seat. It’s my corner.
- It’s my table. - Why is Ming up in--
KIMORA: I have no clue. I don’t know.
Well, I want to be there too now.
KIMORA: Absolutely not.
LALA: Aoki, she’ll say to me sometimes,
"You and Ming vibe."
She’s the firstborn.
They are like two peas in a pod.
But so are you.
You have a lot of your mom’s ways.
I think of myself as kind of immaculately conceived
I told Aoki and Ming to be more assertive,
like trying to take over the reins a little bit more.
Are they handling it well?
Sometimes they just can’t get it together.
I have to see, like, what, you know, becomes of that.
Career-wise, they seem to think that it...
Comes so easy.
And then they don’t want to work for it.
Right.
[upbeat music playing]
Where are you going? Ooh.
Mom.
Hello.
You’re supposed to hold the door for me.
My girls are busy
working on the Baby Phat photo shoot.
When I did these tracksuits,
I designed them to be more like heritage.
- Did you use my fit and theme? - No.
Who was your fit model?
[laughs] Not you.
Kenzo and Gary want to be independent and grown.
I mean, how you like driving?
It’s fine. I’ve been driving.
I just-- I just got it like that.
Some people just got it like that.
- Some people don’t. - Yeah, that’s right.
- KIMORA: Wolfe is my last baby,
and I feel like I have to hold on to that.
- Can I have this one? - No.
I want that one. So you’re just gonna take them?
- Yes. - So I’m just going to pick.
ANDREW: Ready for your colors?
Wolfe wants to spend a little more time with me,
and so this is our activity du jour.
Don’t get to flinging paint over here.
- Okay, baby? - Okay.
- [Kimora grunts] - ANDREW: Pour the gold first,
and then drip it and smother it with the whole bit.
- KIMORA: Thank you. - No worries.
Wolfe, please help me.
[Kimora screams]
Shh. It’s okay.
- Yes. - Sorry. No problem. It’s okay.
- You see that, Mom? - [Kimora sighs]
Yours is a masterpiece, honey. I’m having a breakdown.
Okay, I officially have messed this up.
I used to get in trouble with doing stuff like this in school.
I was, like, in the second grade.
And this little girl bumped me, and I was like,
"If you bump me again, I’m going to beat the [bleep] out of you."
You hain all the right places at the right time.
Wolfe, you’re a genius. Like, you’re like a Picasso.
Wait, don’t blow it over here.
I feel like I did the best
that I could do at any given time,
and my best is damn good.
WOLFE: You want me to help you with the second one?
You sure can.
Coming up...
[upbeat music playing]
Are you smiling?
- Somewhat - Smile.

For the sweats, we should do--
each wear a different color and do a trio shot.
- AOKI: I like that one. - This is the one I’m wearing.
-You already picked. - AOKI: You picked first.
- I didn’t pick anything. - Brandon told me
you picked white.
Me and my sister, we definitely don’t always get along.
This is the one I had in my head made for you.
- I like navy. Okay, I love you. - Okay.
But we work really well together when it comes to Baby Phat.
This cut’s going to be hard with length.
I always thought that we could do something, like,
if it’s a raw edge-- if it’s a raw edge,
and you can cut it yourself
- at home... - I love raw edge.
...and then everybody can have their own length.
The tracksuit could be a trio, and then we can shoot singles.
And then for jerseys, I think we should do
a double with me and Aoki with heels.
AOKI: Ming and I, we have very different strengths.
She’s very familiar with the creative side,
the fashion side, the design side.
She is the fashion girl.
As you can tell, Ming is very design detail.
That’s good. You need someone with direction.
Yeah, that’s the Aquarius in you.
I don’t even know what that means.
And I’m just a little more, I don’t know, nerdy.
So whenever I work with her, I learn a thing or two.
We’re ready.
I am live.
- Aoki, this is ours, baby. - What?
Girls, okay, you guys are in charge.
Mom, come. You can come.
We’re going to do a triangle formation, but barely.
Like, you’re going to stand, like, right.
You’re digging your nails into me.
MING: Sorry. Oh.
Mingy’s being a little aggressive with me.
MING: Come back a little, right? There.
Why are you doing big steps? I didn’t say your whole foot.
Well, you’re grabbing me, and you’re so pushy.
Your finger, like, right now is in my butt.
MING: I say it and you don’t do it.
- Oh, okay. - MING: Stand, like, right.
- Like Destiny’s Child. - Okay.
I like it. That’s a good director.
I don’t want my mom to think that I can’t handle this.
I’m very confident that I can.
I jI look good for a vampire, right?
- Ming’s a little hidden. - KIMORA: Oh, sorry.
You can’t put your arm up like that.
Okay, no problem.
I think I’m pretty hot.
I’m at that age that I could get the son and the dad.
AOKI: I think that one looks good.
STEVEN: I do like that one a lot still.
I gotta get better at, like, the flash, not making me go...
STEVEN: I really like this one.
- AOKI: You did a very good job. - Thank you.
I am really glad Aoki’s home.
I did miss her presence in our house and in my life.
We don’t really know what it’s like to not be close.
I hate that one. Please delete it.
She likes to know that I’m down the hall,
so I know whenever I’m, like, actually gone, she’s like,
"Wait, I couldn’t go down the hall and harass her.
"That’s concerning."
So I think now that I’m here,
she feels a little better about it.
I do feel like she is my lifelong best friend.
But I don’t think that I’m going to tell her that, though.
Are you happy? Did you get the one?
- I think that we got it. - You guys did a great job.
MING: Working for Baby Phat, it’s something
that is great to have hands-on experience with.
AOKI: We’ve been modeling for Baby Phat since we were born.
But my interests have progressed,
so it’s nice to be doing more hands-on work with it.
MING: I want to own businesses.
I want to grow empires like my mom.
I’d love to see them grow and blossom in the business.
Ultimately, you want better for them than you had.
That’s why we all, you know, work so hard.
- You can superimpose that face. - Yeah, we can do whatever.
I will always be proud of my family and Baby Phat.
I do feel very fortunate, and I am very grateful.
KIMORA: Oh, teamwork! I love it! Okay!
One, two, whoo!
On the next Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane...
- Hello. - KIMORA: Welcome.
- You’re my first customer. - How did you get back here?
- I work here. - Do you regret allowing that?
