They want to buy new America as well as old America," says Simmons, who recently teamed up with Kellwood to launch the sportswear line Def Jam University. "People look around and say, 'Where's the next Polo?' There isn't a new Polo. It's Phat Farm and JLO and Sean John. These companies are all new America...
