7He’s eyeballing a career in fashion
EJ is thinking about taking a stab at the fashion industry. Already a trailblazer who’s been challenging long-standing gender stereotypes when it comes to his attire, EJ is now “contemplating starting a fashion collection,” according to The New York Times.
When asked about the fashion industry’s embrace of “androgyny,” EJ said, “I don’t think the fashion world has made any type of major huge strides, where we need to start commending anybody yet. They should probably start highlighting people who are doing it in the streets, as opposed to whatever celebrity they’re putting in a skirt for five seconds just for publicity.”
As for Louis Vuitton using Will Smith’s son, Jaden Smith, in its women’s line, EJ said, “If you’re going to do it, I think you should go with somebody who’s actually doing it because they genuinely get it as opposed to somebody who just has a name and was doing it just to be out there.”
