Vanessa Bryant Announces Mambacita Capsule In Honor Of Gigi’s Birthday

Vanessa Bryant took to Instagram today (April 30, 2021) where she announced plans to launch a Mambacita clothing capsule in honor of what would have been her daughter Gigi’s 15th birthday on May 1st. The drop features a tie dye hoodie and sweatpants in either black or lilac. The bottoms are detailed with the number 2, Gigi’s jersey number, enclosed in a heart.  All proceeds from the drop will be donated to the Mamba and Mabacita Sports Foundation.

Vanessa Bryant modeled the looks alongside her 18-year-old daughter, Natalia Bryant. Notable, both are wearing a pair of Nike Zoom Kobe 6 Protro “All Star” sneakers. The choice is interesting because Vanessa Bryant recently let it known that Kobe Bryant’s contract with Nike had expired on April 13th.

It’s not known why Nike couldn’t come to an agreement with his estate, but Vanessa Bryant was said to be frustrated by Nike’s reluctance to expand sizing for her husband’s shoes as well as provide a greater number of pairs after his death.

Prior to the Nike news, the Bryant estate filed a trademark for the phrase Mamba and Mambacita with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, according to TMZ.

Offered in adult unisex and kid’s sizing, look for Mambacita offerings to drop on May 1, 2021 on mambaandmambacita.org (which is currently experiencing server issues). Bryant hasn’t provided exact timing for the launch, but keep an eye on her Instagram for updates.

Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah H Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah Hairston on Kerby Jean-Raymond whose label Pyer Moss appears to no longer be operational. 

Check out an excerpt below. 

Ten years in, Jean-Raymond’s star has only risen. He hangs out with celebrities (Tracee Ellis Ross, Brent Faiyaz), made a cameo on Insecure, and drives flashy cars (a McLaren 720S, an Aston Martin Superleggera, a Porsche GT3 RS). Meanwhile, his brand is nearly nonexistent.

There is no Pyer Moss boutique. The clothing celebrated on the runway was mostly not available to anybody who didn’t have a celebrity stylist to pull it for them, and company insiders complained that quality control was so uneven that at times what was produced was too flawed to be sold. Jean-Raymond sometimes missed deadlines, didn’t always pay bills, started other projects, and alienated allies. He referred to Pyer Moss as an “art project” and seemed reluctant to make practical choices. Among the fashion insiders who had cheered his rise, there has been a growing feeling that he has wasted an opportunity to build something important.

The last straw for many of his early supporters was his couture show in July 2021. Titled “WAT U IZ,” and put on in the U.S. during Paris Couture Week, it was a tribute to the various innovations that Black people have been responsible for, often without credit. The models came down the runway decked out in a jar of peanut butter and a traffic light. A lot of it wasn’t really clothing, much less couture. Even if the professional critics and other members of the fashion press seemed hesitant to publicly express their disappointment, they whispered among each other that he’d lost the plot of his brand.
