Christian Louboutin has appointed Jaden Smith as its first creative director for the men’s line. The label, renowned for its iconic red soles, announced the unexpected appointment around 15 years after expanding its range to include menswear.
According to FashionNetwork.com, the American rapper and actor will relocate to Paris to take up the role and will unveil his first collection in January during fashion week.
Jaden Smith, the son of Hollywood stars Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, will oversee the creation of four collections annually, encompassing shoes, leather goods and accessories. He will also develop campaigns, events, and immersive experiences.
Smith’s arrival is expected to enable Louboutin to focus more on its womenswear business. His contribution will also serve to revitalize and strengthen the menswear offering, which accounts for 24% of Christian Louboutin’s business.

According to updated Eurosystem staff projections, headline inflation is expected to average 2.1 per cent in 2025, easing to 1.9 per cent in 2026 and 1.8 per cent in 2027, before returning to 2.0 per cent in 2028. Inflation excluding energy and food is forecast at 2.4 per cent in 2025, gradually declining to 2.0 per cent by 2028. Inflation for 2026 has been revised upward, mainly due to expectations that services inflation will fall more slowly than previously anticipated, the Governing Council of the ECB said in a press release.
European Central Bank has kept its key interest rates unchanged, maintaining confidence that inflation will stabilise at the 2 per cent target.
Updated projections show inflation easing gradually over the coming years, with a slight upward revision for 2026 due to persistent services prices.
Economic growth forecasts have been revised higher, supported by stronger domestic demand.
The ECB also revised its economic growth outlook higher compared with its September projections. Growth is now expected to reach 1.4 per cent in 2025, 1.2 per cent in 2026 and 1.4 per cent in 2027, with expansion projected to remain at 1.4 per cent in 2028. The improvement is driven largely by stronger domestic demand across the euro area.
The Council reiterated its commitment to ensuring that inflation stabilises sustainably at the 2 per cent target. It emphasised that future monetary policy decisions will remain data-dependent and assessed on a meeting-by-meeting basis, without pre-committing to any specific interest rate path.
