Beverly Hills tenant is a fit for fashion designer Kimora Lee Leissner
Kimora Lee Leissner, the model and fashion designer who launched the Baby Phat brand, has found a tenant for her estate in Beverly Hills, leasing it for $45,000 a month as part of a long-term agreement.
The Mediterranean-style mansion, built in 1990 and since updated, is surrounded by hedges and gates on about an acre of grounds. Within its more than 9,400 square feet of living space are a paneled library, a movie theater and a wine cellar. There are seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms.
Outdoor amenities include a swimming pool with a circular spa, ample patio space and a pool house. Formal gardens and a large fountain complete the setting.
Leissner bought the property a decade ago for about $11 million, records show.
Morgan Trent of Aaron Kirman Partners, a division of Pacific Union International, handled the lease.
Leissner, 42, gained fame as a model for Chanel and previously appeared on international covers of Harper’s Bazaar. In the late 1990s she developed the lifestyle brand Baby Phat under former husband Russell Simmons’ company Phat Fashions. She remained president of the brand after Phat Fashions was sold to Kellwood Co in 2004 for $140 million.
Two years ago she launched a clothing line for working mothers under the KLS brand.
