Jaden Smith named Christian Louboutin's first men's creative director
"This is the [sic] one of the biggest honors of my life," says Smith.
Jaden Smith is to become the men's creative director at Christian Louboutin, a new role created for him by the French fashion house. The New York Times reports that Smith will move to Paris to undertake the position and will oversee the creation of four collections a year across shoes, leather goods and accessories, along with developing campaigns, events and immersive experiences. His first capsule arrives online and in stores in January, with a full debut collection due to launch at the men's fall shows that same month.
"This is the one of the biggest honors of my life, and I feel a lot of pressure to be able to live up to everything that Christian has done for the house, and also stepping into such a serious role," Smith told WWD. "When he reached out to me, I was just blown away, because of how similar we are and how much we like to do things in a similar manner. I can't wait to show the world what we've been working on."
Louboutin will move aside from the men's side of the business and focus on women's, instead. Speaking to the Times, he said Smith's approach to the work has already impressed him.
"We will start a conversation, and then eventually it needs to go to the team. So Jaden will lie on 15 to 20 big pillows with his computer, and in the nicest way, he makes you understand that he needs to be by himself and do his thing," he told the newspaper. "Then, not even an hour later, he has a presentation. He's so quick at illustrating what we have been discussing or what he has in mind. It's not by accident that he's a musician. The computer is like his piano."
In addition to making music (his most recent album CTV3 dropped in 2020) Smith has a long history in the fashion world. He has previously modelled for Louis Vuitton, created a denim line with G-Star in 2018, and established his own brand, MSFTSrep

I wish his parents would sit him down and tell him that he doesn't have to be a Z-list celebrity. He could go to college or just be a useless playboy who stays out of the spotlight.
There's no way that they're proud of him.

R31 Kate Hudson can actually be a very competent and charming actress. She was fantastic in Almost Famous and a handful of other fluffy rom-coms. To me, as a nepo baby, she does not offend. She stays in her lane as a performer.

R52 Willow Smith is hella talented. Musically she is the truth. Creative genes tend to run in families. Jada to me is actually a better actor than Will. She is a natural. She just was a 5’2 black woman in the 90s. Pretty but what the fuck was they gon did with that. She had a nice lil run. And she’s also musical thus Willow’s talent.
