A century ago, any would be horrified to see a woman wearing pants around. They were, at that time, a privilege of men and a sensible girl would know it very well.
It was during World War II that the pants became part of women's wardrobes that worked - and were only introduced in the fashion around the year 60. However, it seems that despite all this history, some clothing items are still associated with only one genre: yes, we are talking of skirts and dresses, considered women's clothing.
But they will even have clothes that belong to one gender? The new action brand Louis Vuitton is breaking this stereotype to invite the actor and musician Jaden Smith, only 17 years to star in the launch campaign of its women's collection for summer 2016. Jaden is the son of actor Will Smith and purchase and wear clothes considered feminine without calling the taboos. In fact, he made it clear that it considers that differentiate clothes by gender is something outdated...
Last year, in his Instagram account, the teenager posted: "I went to (store) TopShop buy some women's clothes... or rather, 'clothing'" - which shows that, despite their age, boldness is not lacking for him.
Check out some of the models with which Jaden already paraded around - and a preview of the new brand campaign - and learn from him this lesson: what we see and we have for granted are only social constructs, which, in most cases, it is worth questioning:
