Kimora Lee Simmons<\/a> has spent decades setting the pace in fashion, and now one of her youngest is officially stepping into the spotlight.<\/p>\n The Baby Phat founder’s 16-year-old son, Kenzo Hounsou, just landed his first modeling campaign right on the heels of New York Fashion Week. Though Kenzo has spent most of his young life in front of the camera thanks to his famous parents, this is the first time he’s getting the spotlight on his own.<\/p>\n On September 12, Kenzo appeared in a new campaign for the clothing brand Eve<\/a>. The visuals showcased him balancing two of his worlds\u2014athletics and fashion. In one clip, he\u2019s seen hooping on an outdoor basketball court before making a smooth transition into a car, blending sport with streetwear polish.<\/p>\n For Kenzo, the inspiration behind his style isn\u2019t hard to pinpoint. \u201cSome fashion influences of mine would definitely be my mom, who helps me and talks to me about those types of things,\u201d he told Eve.<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n He also credited model Alton Mason as someone he looks up to, showing that both family legacy and the new generation of creatives shape his outlook.<\/p>\n Kimora Lee Simmons wasted no time sharing her excitement. Posting the campaign shots on Instagram, she wrote, \u201cSo proud of my baby @kenzoklh for his first modeling campaign for @weareeve_ !!! \ud83d\ude0d\ud83e\udd79 Congratulations!
