Jaden Smith is the New Face of Louis Vuitton's SS16 Womenswear

Surprise Surprise

Jaden Smith is the new face of Louis Vuitton's womenswear campaign. The series of ads was shot by legendary photographer Bruce Weber, with two of them debuting Sunday on the Instagram of LV's creative director, Nicolas Ghesquière.

Clad in an embellished skirt, fringed top and moto jacket that debuted during Paris Fashion Week -- and that we'd very much like to get our hands on -- Smith looks at ease alongside the female stars of the shoot. The 17-year-old, whose little sister Willow also just starred in a major fashion campaign, has become known for breaking the norm with his sartorial choices. So if any guy is going to star in a womenswear campaign, Smith is the perfect choice.

Fans are excited about Louie Vuitton's decision to make Jaden the face, saying "so much respect for this guy." Others are skeptical as of why boys/men should dress in girls/ women clothing to begin with. I personally don't see anything wrong with Jaden wearing a skirt, because Pharaohs are often depicted dressed in similar attire. The Pharaoh in ancient Egypt was the political and religious leader of the people and held the titles 'Lord of the Two Lands’ and 'High Priest of Every Temple’. The word, pharaoh is the Greek form of the Egyptian 'pero’ or 'per-a-a’, which was the designation for the royal residence. The name of the residence became associated with the ruler and, in time, was used exclusively for the leader of the people. So maybe the meaning behind Jaden's skirt wear is he considers himself a high public figure.
