Jaden Smith’s fashion choices can’t be put into a gender normative box.The 17-year-old son of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith explains his unique sense of style in the Spring/Summer issue of British GQ Style magazine, explaining that when it comes to gender norms, he’s “never seen any distinction.”
“I feel like people are kind of confused about gender norms,” the young
artist says. “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,” he continues. “I just see scared people and comfortable people.”
While
Jaden doesn’t see gender when it comes to his bold fashion – that has
at times included traditionally “feminine” seeming clothing, such as
skirts – he does see it as one of the few dividing lines between himself
and his 15-year-old sister, Willow, with whom Jaden shares a deep bond.
“I’d
say it’s like full-on sibling brain connection,” he tells the
publication. “I’d say that she’s definitely the female version of me,
one hundred per cent, in every single way. And I’d say I’m the male
version of her.”
However, as the interview continues, Jaden expresses loftier goals than just challenging gender paradigms.“I’m
really working towards just fixing the whole planet Earth,” he says. “I
really just want to create a utopia on this planet. I really want to
make it so that people don’t have to die to pay bills and just work to
survive. So that they can work to actually live and do the things that
they love to do.”
