Jaden Smith’s debut Men’s Fall/Winter 2026 Collection for Christian Louboutin bridges past, present and future in an immersive exhibition.

In his debut as the first Men’s Creative Director for Maison Christian Louboutin, Jaden Smith presented the Men’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection in Paris through an immersive exhibition on January 21. The curated experience was at the intersection of fashion, visual art, music and history, a natural combination for Jaden Smith, who, at 27, already has an impressive resume of creative pursuits.  

The new collection pays homage to Christian Louboutin’s heritage, honouring the designer’s legacy whilst offering a glimpse into its future under Smith’s creative lead. It showcased the expert craftsmanship that Louboutin is known for, interpreted through a fresh, youthful perspective. Guided by Smith’s creative vision and storytelling, with the aid of photography and cinema, the immersive experience invited visitors to have an intimate look at the history of Louboutin through a new lens, leading them through its designs over the ages and the debut pieces resulting from the collaboration between Louboutin’s classical legacy and Smith’s singular creative vision.

Of his inspiration for the collection, Smith says that he was “inspired by the history of working men throughout the centuries, The Stone Masons, The Scribes, The Doctors” and “By The Lost Epochs Of Time & Made By Hands Born From Stars Forged Under Immense Pressure Deep In Cosmic Space” demonstrating how this collection breathes new life into the past, while honouring the brand’s history as a source of creative inspiration. 

The immersive presentation connected past, present and future, inviting visitors into Jaden Smith’s vision – where heritage, culture, and innovation converge to shape the future of Christian Louboutin Men.

Jaden Smith’s avant-première capsule launched January 22 in select boutiques and on christianlouboutin.com. Reimagining iconic silhouettes alongside bold new, avant-garde designs, the capsule unfolds in a striking palette of red, black, and white, setting the stage for the Men’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection, which will be unveiled and arrive in stores this June.
