Jaden Smith has been rocking it in the fashion scene for some time now, and he’s certainly no stranger to dresses and skirts. Well, it seems that Louis Vuitton has caught on to his stylishness, as well as his penchant for “super drapey things” by including him in their new Spring/Summer ’16 ad campaign for this season’s women’s fashions!

Louis Vuitton’s creative director Nicholas Ghesquiére announced Smith’s participation via Instagram this weekend.

I am digging this Smith’s style and fearlessness. Also, the fact that he embraces an androgynous look in life. It goes a long way not only toward relating the message that gender is a construct that is up for being fucked with to a wider audience, but it also goes a long way toward showing men of color – whose communities are often harder on them for breaking gender roles – that femininity is nothing to be ashamed of or threatened by.

What do you think of Smith’s look and participation in this campaign? Tell us in the comments!
