Jaden Smith continued his gender-free statement in fashion and is seen in avant-garde unisex clothes in the latest women's wear campaign for Louis Vuitton.

In photos posted in the fashion line's creative director, Nicolas Ghesquière, one can see the 17-year old son of Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith wearing a sleek, moto jacket-all with a fringed top underneath it. He paired it with a skirt and black footwear.

"Happy to introduce Jaden Smith @christiaingrey in the new SS16 @louisvuitton ad Campaign photographed by Bruce Weber," Nicolas Ghesquière captioned the photo as mentioned in Color Lines.

In another shot posted on Sunday night, the young actor-musician posed with three other female models, who according to Business Insider are named Sarah Brannon, Rianne van Rompaey, and Jean Campbell.

Aside from the Instagram posts, the photos are said to have debuted its appearance on Marketing Magazine.

Jaden Smith is not new to wearing eccentric, and gender-free outfits and has been known for being an advocate for genderless clothing. Last year, he made headlines when he was spotted wearing a long dress while attending the high school prom of the Hunger Games actress, Amandla Stenberg.

The actor, who is included in the list for The Most Stylish Men Alive in GQ Magazine, also attended Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding in Batman suit which strengthened his image of being a non-conformist, Think Progress said.

In an earlier press release for Louis Vuitton, Nicolas Ghesquière explained why the fashion brand chose Jaden for the ad.

"...he represents a generation that has assimilated the codes of true freedom, one that is free of manifestos and questions about gender. Wearing a skirt comes as naturally to him as it would to a woman who, long ago, granted herself permission to wear a man's trench or a tuxedo."
