Jaden Smith talks style: 'I don’t see man clothes and woman clothes'

Whether he’s adorning his Basquiat-like locs with the flower crowns of Coachella dreams or injecting new life (and color) into Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2016 womenswear campaign, Jaden Smith is a vision, an exemplar, a model for what it means to truly be carefree.

But as the 17-year-old fashion phenom explains in the latest issue of British GQ Style (available online and on newsstands March 17), he’s never allowed social mores to constrict his sense of style.

"I feel like people are kind of confused about gender norms. I feel like people don’t really get it. I’m not saying that I get it, I’m just saying that I’ve never seen any distinction. I don’t see man clothes and woman clothes, I just see scared people and comfortable people."

Jaden’s remarks about gender norms echo sentiments he previously expressed to Gulf News TV back in August.

"Nobody ever thinks, 'Yo who made all these rules?" he said. "Who was here and made all these rules? Because I'm equally as smart as them, and I don't necessarily agree with all the rules that they established before I came into the picture."

Hence why he’s breaking all of them — one glorious shoot at a time.
