\u201cThis is the one of the biggest honors of my life, and I feel a lot of pressure to be able to live up to everything that Christian has done for the house, and also stepping into such a serious role,\u201d said the actor and rapper who is the son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

He hopes to leverage Smith\u2019s star power and nearly 20 million Instagram followers to perk up the men\u2019s category.<\/p>\n
It accounts for 24% of the business but has been experiencing declines.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has a way of seeing things, of digesting things, of transforming that really connects with my way of functioning,\u201d Louboutin said.<\/p>\n
