Jaden Smith is well known for his avant-garde style; he wore a skirt for prom with Amandla Stenberg and a Batman costume for Kim and Kanye’s wedding.
It’s great that a haute-couture brand is ‘breaking the rules’ and taking a step forward by not giving a monkey’s fart about gender norms. Wonder what Willow thought?

And Louis Vuitton has often had good form when choosing faces to front campaigns; Liya Kebede slayed the 2015 campaign.
Liya Kebede was a must for our #TRUEAfrica 100 list of influencers in Africa. Here's the interview @liyakebede https://t.co/XwNH5T8JyU
