6 models breaking gender stereotypes in the fashion industry

Jaden Smith is now the face of Louis Vuitton - modeling for the spring 2016 women's wear campaign.

Jaden Smith recently made headlines as the newest face of Louis Vuitton — appearing in the new Spring 2016 Ready-To-Wear women's wear campaign.

But the 17-year-old son of Will Smith is known for making bold fashion statements, but isn’t the only model comfortable with crossing gender lines.

Here is a list of models that have broke past gender stereotypes in the fashion industry:

Casey Legler

Casey Legler is labeled as the world's first "female male model" since her masculine features got her signed to Ford Modeling Agency — one of the biggest in the world.

The former French swimmer — who competed in the 1996 Summer Olympics — broke into the fashion industry after agreeing to let her friend and photographer Cass Bird show some images of her to a modeling agency.

Standing at just over six feet tall, the artist has been featured in both Vogue Magazine and Time Magazine.
