15 Reasons Why Jaden Smith Is Our Generation's Style Icon
Jaden Smith is back in the news this summer for his progressive views on fashion and gender.
The middle child of the Smith family dynasty has blossomed into a fashion icon in recent years, pushing boundaries (and gender norms) with an ever-developing wardrobe that includes mostly gender-neutral pieces. And the powerful message he pushes to compliment his unique style is inspiring a new generation of genderless fashionistas.
"I feel like people are kind of confused about gender norms," he told British GQ in March. "I don't see man clothes and women clothes, I just see scared people and comfortable people."
Preach, king.
