Men’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection

Maison Christian Louboutin unveils Men’s Creative Director Jaden Smith’s first debut Men’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection, through an immersive exhibition that bridges fashion, visual art, music and history. Conceived as a gradual revelation across a series of spaces, the exhibition honors the legacy of Christian Louboutin Men while offering an initial vision of its future.

Through the lens of photography and cinema, central to Jaden Smith’s creative language and rooted in France’s role as their birthplace, the exhibition recalls 19th-century experiments in which light and movement shaped identity. Articulated through an intergenerational perspective, the collection opens a dialogue between past, present, and future, inviting visitors into an intimate encounter with Jaden Smith’s singular vision.

'This collection is inspired by the history of working men throughout the centuries, The Stone Masons, The Scribes, The Doctors. It’s Inspired By The Lost Epochs Of Time & Made By Hands Born From Stars Forged Under Immense Pressure Deep In Cosmic Space.' - Jaden Smith

The exhibition unfolds into the collection itself, where each piece becomes a vessel for Jaden’s visual and cultural imaginary. The Corteo, which serves as an entry point into the Maison’s history. First introduced in Fall/Winter 2019, this shoe is a symbol of elegance and presence. It represents the perfect classic, embodying, for Jaden Smith, 'the businessman, the working man, people who wear a suit, who show up with intention, who build something through discipline and effort'.

Extending beyond the collection displays, the exhibition unfolds as a reflection on image and history. A 360° video installation of vintage television screens brings together extracts from different periods that shaped human history: frames from the past and the present, spanning from major events to everyday moments, highlighting how images circulate and quietly shape collective memory over time.

A photo installation presents Jaden Smith’s pieces, some of which are captured using early photographic methods: each of these images is created under a cloth and developed by hand, with silver and chemical solutions revealing the forms. The journey culminates in a monumental exploded red head that dominates the space, serving as an immersive display to reveal the final chapter of the collection.
