The new appointments in luxury aren’t over yet…. Jaden Smith now holds the title of Men’s Creative Director for Christian Louboutin—and it’s the first in the Maison’s history.

According to the luxury brand, “Jaden Smith will interpret Christian Louboutin’s legacy through his unique creative lens.” Smith will be at the helm and responsible for the creation of four men’s collections annually, including leather goods and men’s shoes. Smith will also have a hand in events, campaigns and immersive experiences for the brand. 

When Christian Louboutin and Jaden Smith met in 2019, there was mutual respect for one another’s individuality. Louboutin was especially struck by Smith’s “thoughtful awareness of the world and his commitment to shaping a more conscious future,” according to the designer. Louboutin says that “[Smith] feels like the perfect addition to our creative team, and I am truly looking forward to having fun working with him on our men’s collections.”

Despite the newly appointed role, Smith doesn’t come lacking in experience in fashion. He has had nearly a decade of experience in shoe collaborations as well as his own fashion label. In other expressive endeavors, Smith is known for his musical career and involvement in activism. 

Over the years, Smith has held an appreciation and respect for Louboutin. “Christian has given me a place to explore, to learn, and to create freely,” he says. “His legacy is built on hard work and joy, and I want to carry that forward.” 

Smith’s first capsule for Louboutin will be available in January 2026. His debut collection will be Men’s Fall/Winter 2026 and shown at Paris Fashion Week in January.
