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.
Go Jaden!!
