Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's son is sparking a fashion revolution.

Jaden is the newest face of the Louis Vuitton women's line. The 17-year-old is sporting a skirt.

The high-end store says Smith represents a generation that has assimilated the codes of true freedom. Jaden says wearing a skirt comes as naturally to him as it would to a woman.

"You are seeing an evolution, and we're also seeing fashion do what fashion loves to do, which is play with our expectations, to tug on our prejudices and to surprise us," said fashion critic Robin Givhan.

In June, Jaden told GQ Magazine: "I'm just expressing how I feel inside, which is really no particular way because every day it changes how I feel about the world and myself."
