He’s all of 17 and is brimming with ideas to make the world a more accepting place (read his tweets here), whether it is in the form, the surficial sartorial choices or graver issues dealing with race, creed or world peace.

I’m talking about Jaden Smith who carries the genes of the famous actors Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith and has recently been revealed as the new face for the luxury brand Louis Vuitton’s ‘Women’s Wear’ collection. Yes, I’ve written it right and you’ve read it right. This teen sensation will be associated with the women’s clothing line to dispel the myth of gender clichés that our society dwells and thrives on.

This happy news was first shared by Creative Director of the House of Louis Vuitton, Nicolas Ghesquière on Instagram.

I’m so mighty impressed in LV’s choice of putting this independent, young thinker on the pedestal as opposed to some renowned, porcelain-looking model whose contribution is nothing more than posing and preening.

Smith wishes to ‘Impact the World’ with this campaign as he declares on this post of his (Jaden’s Instagram account goes by the name christiaingrey).

He stuns in a studded skirt paired with a fringe top and biker jacket posing with three models for the spring campaign.

The Coolest Kid on the Block

While Smith Jr’s thoughts have sure evolved with the passing years, he embraced the gender-neutral dress style a long time ago. This miracle kid has now used his personal style to spread awareness and bring in greater reforms across the globe. Let’s take a look at the surprisingly witty and chic sartorial choices he has made through his teen years.

Well, he does what he pleases and he’s born to give connoisseurs of style a massive complex. This is what he wore to the nuptials of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West and stole the limelight from the groom. A white Batman emerged from nowhere and replaced the black-tie dress code with his customised look. He sure is a superhero!

Oh, this one’s such a smarty, he layered his bodysuit and mask with a blazer while attending the high school prom and no, he didn’t forget to team it with a matching tie. Voila! He’s the style icon to look out for. When asked about his strikingly unconventional clothes picks, he shared with the international press:

<p>My clothes express how I feel inside, which is really no particular way because everyday it changes how I feel about the world and myself. But I like wearing super drapey things so I can feel as though I’m a superhero, but don’t have to necessarily wear superhero costumes every day.</p>

‘Skirt’ing Around

As a teen, he sure might have had girl crushes but his ultimate love affair has been with skirts. From attending school in a swanky pair to making an appearance on the red carpet in a long t-shirt that gave the faux-skirt look, Jaden’s ruthlessly broken all the rules of style being true to nothing but himself.

Just having some fun, guys! (Photo: www.espectaculos.televisa.com)

Oh ya, my tee is a convertible skirt. Just FYI (Photo: www.pixgood.com)

It doesn’t end there. His mind is an able wanderer. Look at those mismatched trainers and the effortless style with which he makes them look like a million bucks.

Impress with the Dress

Hunger Games actress Amandla Stenberg found her date Smith rocking a dress when he came to receive her for her prom night. He slipped on a black suit jacket and don’t miss the white-gold glove for the final touch.

We do really think that this kid is too cool for school.
