Will Smith’s son, Jaden Smith knows there are people in the world who don’t like the idea of him, or any man, walking around in a skirt, but he’s not about to let that stop him.
“The world is going to keep bashing me for whatever I do, and I’m going to keep not caring,” Jaden told Nylon Magazine in the cover story for its latest issue. “I’m going to keep doing the same things — I’m going to keep doing more things. I’m going to take most of the blows for my fellow MSFTS. So, you know, in five years when a kid goes to school wearing a skirt, he won’t get beat up and kids won’t get mad at him. It just doesn’t matter. I’m taking the brunt of it so that later on, my kids and the next generations of kids will all think that certain things are normal that weren’t expected before my time.”
Jaden became something of a poster child for men in skirts earlier this year when he became the first male face of French fashion house Louis Vuitton’s womenswear collection, wearing a black pleated and studded skirt alongside female models in similar looks for the brand’s Spring 2016 ad campaign.
At the time, Jaden was already known for wearing long tops that would easily have passed for dresses if not for the way he styled them — layering them over his pants.
