Just Now Updates: The 5 Wildest Things Willow Smith Has Ever Said About Fashion

The 5 Wildest Things Willow Smith Has Ever Said About Fashion

Willow Smith ^[1] just landed her biggest fashion coup yet, grabbing a spot in Marc Jacobs ^[2]' fall 2015 campaign (alongside Cher no less ^[3]). It might mark the first time Jacobs' customers have been introduced to Will Smith ^[4]'s 14-year-old daughter, but the rest of us already know her as a style rebel-icon for the social media generation. If you've been paying attention since her "Whip My Hair" days, you're aware there's no shortage of fascinating fashion soundbites.

March 2015: In a recent interview given to Billboard^[5], Smith called her style "high-fashion nomad. I could literally climb a mountain and survive a couple nights in nature. That's a requirement for my clothes because one day I was on the freeway and I saw a mountain, so I literally just pulled over and climbed it."

November 2014: "I like to go to places with my high-fashion things where there are a lot of cameras, so I can just go there and be like, 'Yep, yep, I'm looking so sick,'" she told The New York Times this fall ^[6]. "But in my regular life, I put on clothes that I can climb trees in."

November 2014: "Flexibility with yourself and your looks shows self confidence. You're willing to paint on your canvas with whatever comes from within you," she told Wonderland^[7].

August 2011: "I wear anything I feel like," she told Teen Vogue^[8] back when she was a youthful ten years old. "If I want to put on a pair of Converse with a pencil stuck through them, I will." She also revealed fashion is a constant part of the family conversation. "It's pretty much a regular family. At dinner we talk about 'What did you do today? What did you wear today?'"

March 2011: When she co-hosted an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, Smith caught flack for being a little bit rude to the talk show legend in the eyes of some viewers. When asked about her closet, she answered back ^[9], "Giiiiiiirl. No, it's like from here to there."

Jacobs introduced Smith's campaign imagery via Instagram, writing about "those individuals whose creativity, unique vision, and voice [that] inspire all of us." He also revealed that the fall '15 lineup wouldn't stop with Cher and Smith, with more to come in the next few weeks.

Ever since our first Juergen Teller ad in 1998 which featured Kim Gordon on stage wearing my dress, I have always preferred collaborating with the people who inspire me to give new life to the clothes we show on our runway. Over the years we have photographed an incredibly diverse and exceptional group of talented friends and individuals who I greatly admire: Victoria Beckham, Jamie Bochert, Jarvis Cocker, Sofia Coppola, Miley Cyrus, Dakota Fanning, William Eggleston, Jessica Lange, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Stephen Malkmus, Samantha Morton, Kate Moss, Charlotte Rampling, Winona Ryder, Stephanie Seymour, Cindy Sherman, Michael Stipe, and Rufus Wainwright, just to name a few. Beauty, style and talent know no age. It is those individuals whose creativity, unique vision, and voice inspire all of us here to create and express ourselves through our medium: fashion. Photographed by David Sims, this season's ads feature friends, each of whom evoke a sense of intrigue and inspiration and collectively provoke a true consideration for individuality. Here today I would like to share (not CHER) with you first, the talented, stylish and charming Willow Smith @gweelos Stay tuned over the coming weeks for more…^[10]
