Jaden Smith's Louis Vuitton Womenswear Campaign Annihilates Gender Norms
We've said it before, and we'll say it again: Jaden Smith is this generation's biggest genderqueer fashion icon. And that title was officially elevated when luxury designer label Louis Vuitton named him the newest face of their Spring/Summer womenswear campaign.
"Happy to introduce Jaden Smith in the new SS16 @louisvuitton ad campaign photographed by Bruce Weber," Louis Vuitton's Creative Director Nicolas Ghesquière wrote on his Instragram page, accompanied by select images of Young Jaden sporting high fashion, androgynous lewks (the likes of which include a black skirt).
While only two images from the LV campaign have been released so far, we can only imagine what other kinds of fire, genderqueer ensembles Will Smith's son managed to pull-off, and considering his past of saying f-you to clothing that aligns with gender norms, there are probably a lot.
Remember that time he wore a dress to school?
And again to prom (with Hunger Games actress Amandla Stenberg)?

And the time he wore a flower crown to Coachella?

What about his affinity for crop tops?

Yeah, Jaden Smith kills the gender non-conforming fashion game, and with his new work with Louis Vuitton, he's going to keep killin' it.
