Louboutin Appoints Him as the Men's Creative Director - Louboutin appoints him as the new creative director for men's designs.
In a pioneering move, renowned fashion brand Louboutin has appointed Jaden Smith as the Men's Creative Director. This marks the first time since the brand's founding in 1991 that someone other than Christian Louboutin (62) will head a part of the house in this capacity.
The announcement was made by Christian Louboutin himself on Wednesday. Jaden Smith, the eldest child of actors Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, expressed his excitement about his new role, viewing it as a 'creative home.'
Smith, who began his career as a child actor, made his mark in the entertainment industry before venturing into music. After several roles and three studio albums, he is now set to make his mark in the fashion world.
In his statement, Smith mentioned a shared respect for creative freedom with Christian Louboutin and a collaborative approach in his new role. He also mentioned his goal to continue the brand's legacy, honour the past, and shape the future with his own perspective.
Smith will oversee the creation of his own 'visual and emotional universe' for the Louboutin brand. He will be responsible for the men's line, designing four collections a year. Select pieces from his first collection will be available as an avant-premiere in chosen Louboutin stores and online before the full collection debuts during Paris Fashion Week in January 2026.
The specific details about Smith's designs for the Louboutin men's line have not been disclosed yet. However, it is well-known that the Louboutin brand is famous for its red sole, and it will be interesting to see how Smith's creative vision will complement and evolve this iconic element.
Smith did not make any public statements about his new role at the time of the announcement. It remains to be seen how his appointment will shape the future of the Louboutin brand and men's fashion as a whole.
With Christian Louboutin's blessing and the young Smith's creative energy, the fashion world eagerly awaits the debut of the first collection under Jaden Smith's leadership.
