The 17-year-old, along with her 19-year-old sister Ming, are claiming their rightful thrones at her mother’s revived fashion company Baby Phat. “Selling Baby Phat direct-to-consumer through our website plays a big part in the sustainability conversation,” Aoki recently told Teen Vogue , adding, “It cuts out a lot of inventory issues and waste created from traditional retail.” You better werk Ms. Business Woman!

You can wear stilettos in the senate or you can hate heels. Neither choice makes you more or less of a phenomenal woman. I want us to move towards a society where when we talk about a woman in politics, we talk about her policy more than her shoes…though if that woman is a Simmons her shoes are probably fire too” – Aoki Lee Simmons A post shared by Aoki Lee Simmons (@aokileesimmons) on Sep 10, 2019 at 9:35am PDT In addition to all this corporate work, she’s clearly living her best life at Harvard!
