While I could go on for hours about how problematic the fashion world can be, there is one area where they're showing great development.

Gender fluidity is something that's always been important to me--even before I had a name for it. I was raised by a mother who played on her high school's men's soccer team and was a powerhouse in the world of construction. I never understood the line or wall between men and women. Why did people think it was "brave" of my mom to do those things? Why couldn't they focus on what a good athlete or businessperson she was. Why was she seen as a "female athlete," instead of an "athlete," or a "businesswoman" instead of a "businessperson"?

While I've always been attracted to "girl's clothes," I also love to wear clothes traditionally worn by cis men. There's a very good chance you've seen me in a store like Target, throwing a fit about how the flannels and sweaters in the men's department are softer, looser and, overall, more comfortable. Also, why do the men get the cool band tees? Why does the women's department try to sell me a Disney T-shirt when I want the TMNT one? Why do stores assume I wouldn't want a "Batman" shirt over a One Direction shirt?

But I digress.

The great thing about gender fluidity is getting to see my male-identifying friends excited to wear traditional "girl's clothes" like skirts, dresses, tights and heeled shoes. I love seeing them experiment with makeup and being happy with the results. I just wish the world was progressive enough that they'd feel safe to dress that way in public.

I'm not saying men have to wear "girl's clothes" or women have to wear "boy's clothes." I just think people should be allowed to wear whatever style they want, and feel safe doing so.

Which is why Louis Vuitton's decision to make Jaden Smith the new face of their women's collection warmed my heart faster than hot chocolate. Smith has been known, in the past, for his gender fluidity when it comes to style, but it was really empowering to see a large fashion haus accept that ideal as well.

While Smith has received a lot of positive feedback, of course there are plenty of people trying to ruin this wonderful, monumental moment in fashion. I mean, how dare he wear a skirt, right?!

Nonetheless, Louis Vuitton seems to be committed to keeping the campaign, and the whole situation is getting more and more people to discuss the important topic of gender fluidity in how we dress.

For now, I'm crossing my fingers for Ellen Page to be the next model for Armani suits.
