#1 MSFTSrep.
MSFTSrep was created for, ‘the girl that wants to be a tomboy or the boy that wants to wear a skirt, and people try to condemn," Smith told Variety.
"It's pronounced ‘misfits.' I took the ‘I' out of ‘misfits' because we're a team and there is no ‘I' in Team. It's a place for the lost kids and everyone to go, and something for them to have,"

It will probably take more than five years before boys can walk through the halls of their schools wearing skirts without fear, but if Jaden and people like him continue doing what they're doing, eventually that day will come. And that will be pretty freaking cool.

#3 French Fashion House Of Louis Vuitton's
Jaden became something of a poster child for men in skirts earlier this year when he became the first male face of French fashion house Louis Vuitton's womenswear collection, wearing a black pleated and studded skirt alongside female models in similar looks for the brand's Spring 2016 ad campaign.

#5 Will Smith's Initial Reaction
Although Will Smith is proud that his son Jaden Smith keeps challenging masculinity norms through fashion, the movie star admitted his initial reaction wasn't as supportive.
"He is so completely comfortable and confident in who he is and when I look at him, I really admire that," Smith said in a recent interview with News.Au. "Jaden has his own clothing line and then he started wearing a skirt."
