"Fab Lane" follows Simmons as she juggles her career, including her world travels, with being a mom to two daughters. Season 2 will find her taking on the expanded role of creative director at Phat Fashions and feature birthday parties, public appearances, ad campaign shoots and insider meetings at the Phat Fashions offices. It's set to premiere at 8 p.m. April 20.
