Gabrielle Union’sdaughterKaaviahas her own opinions when it comes to things — and her fashion is no exception!
“The only time we may step in is if, sometimes she goes to two different schools,” Gabrielle tells PEOPLEahead of her daughter’s collection with children’s retail brandJanie and Jack. “But one school is on the other side of the hill and it’s a 20-degree swing difference. So when it looks hot or sunny over here, we’re like, ‘We have to check the weather.’ So we’re like, ‘No, you have to wear a jacket or a sweater. You have to go back up there.’ But otherwise, we don’t really.”
The actress believes in letting her children express themselves through their outfits as long as there’s no massive clean-up involved for Mom and Dad.
“As long as all your parts are covered, and for Kaav, you can get to the bathroom on your own and it doesn’t inspire accidents,” Union says. “Do you, boo. You know?”

Janie and Jack
The two pals appear together in the campaign, modeling the line that has options for clothing and accessories from 6 months all the way up to size 18 and is available both in stores and online. With prices ranging from $10.50-$74, there’s something for every sex and style, something that was really important to the family.
“Her friendships, for Kaav, her best friends are everything,” says Union. “So we had to figure out a way of incorporating that friendship into the line. And for some of our households where our kids express themselves in ways that maybe the rest of the world don’t quite understand. And they live out loud and proud and unapologetically, we wanted to make sure that there was something for your child no matter how they express themselves.”
