Jaden Smith’s Louis Vuitton Campaign

Jaden Smith Louis Vuitton Campaign: Spring 2016 Ads | Vogue
Spring/Summer 2016 Women’s Wear Campaign

” Jaden Smith (son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith to Gen X-ers; Insta-generation icon to the Gen-Z set) wearing a pleated skirt”

” Yes, a boy in women’s clothes in a womenswear campaign.”

“What sets the Vuitton ads apart is that they feature Mr. Smith as himself, but in women’s clothing.”

Specifically, in pieces straight off the runway from the last women’s show: a black leather jacket (look No. 2, originally worn by Lily Stewart), a white cotton and metal embroidered top (look No. 24) and a metal embroidered kilt (look No. 3).”

“or a man wearing clothing that looks as if it could be worn by either gender. Nor is he a man wearing woman-inspired men’s wear,”

“He is a man who happens to be wearing obviously female clothes. And while he doesn’t look like a girl in them, he actually looks pretty good. “

““I like wearing super drapey things so I can feel as though I’m a super hero” (in an interview in GQ) “

““represents a generation that has assimilated the codes of true freedom, one that is free of manifestoes and questions about gender,” Mr. Ghesquière stated. “Wearing a skirt comes as naturally to him as it would to a woman who, long ago, granted herself permission to wear a man’s trench or a tuxedo.””

” “Thank You So Much @louisvuitton And @nicolasghesquiere For The Opportunity To Impact This World.””

Cross Dressing

 “I would wear full makeup every day in school eyelashes leggings with Doc Martens and huge fur coats for two and a half years” – Sam Smith

“the only opinion that really affects me is my own opinion of myself because I determined the way I am not anyone else”

“the possible outcome still in some ways forces us to hide the secret “- cross Dressing

“I consider this to be my hobby and when I say that people that could be as if I’m very strange … but me putting on a dress or doing makeup is considered in some ways to be not normal and that’s an argument that I was find interesting”

“I find that cross-dressing for one of a better expression allows me the opportunity to express myself in a different way that I couldn’t do as a guy I spend 95% of my time as a guy”

” I’m 100 percent heterosexual I love women so much so there are times I just like to project a very positive image of them”

“gender is just a construct two people should just be free to dress how they want to”

“I think clothes really do have a power”

 “I think in doing that they’re saying that these clothes don’t need to be for women”

“is there a need to place a gender binary on clothing removing that from fashion will allow like a space for people to explore themselves even further”

“it’s really strange how there’s like women’s wear menswear people should just be free to dress how they want to because it just feels so good”

“I would say embrace every single part of yourself and realize your worth”

“My whole life, I didn’t understand my own gender and my own sexuality,” -miley cyrus
