The late NBA star Kobe Bryant's daughter, Gianna "Gigi" Bryant just turned 15 on May 1, and her mom Vanessa Bryant wanted to celebrate her special day with so much loved.
Vanessa on Saturday launched the Mambacita clothing line in honor to her late daughter Gianna and to further support 'Mamba and Mambacita' sports foundation, that aims to empower young athletes.
On Instagram she wrote: "When I thought about how best to celebrate Gianna’s birthday with so many who loved her, I knew it had to be a combination of sharing her bright and fun personality with her sense of purpose and passion that would help make a difference in this world."

Gigi died died in tragic helicopter crash with her dad Kobe Bryant in January 2020. Vanessa recalls Gianna as a "kind, energetic, a leader, and had so much MAMBACITA swag."
"But what Gigi would love most about the Collection is that 100% of the proceeds will support the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation, which is dedicated to creating positive impact for underserved athletes and young women in sports.
"Gigi was especially motivated to change the way everyone viewed women in sports, and it’s fitting that this capsule represents her values," she added.
She also posted a sweet throwback picture with Gianna with a caption, "Happy 15th Birthday! I love you! I miss you everyday! I wish you were here with us. There are no words to express how much I miss you. I love you Mamacita!"
