Although Milan, like many talented youngsters, has attention issues, it did not limit him from showcasing his love for fashion through some amazing designs, according to reports by the Daily Mail.
He is a big fan of the French designer brand Louis Vuitton, so he created some incredible sketches of sneakers, loungewear, tracksuits, and even women’s dresses, along with the brand’s famous logo.
Looking at the designs, Milan’s mother, Louise Odessa, thought her son had potential and so she shared his artwork online.
She posted the sketches on X, hoping to catch some attention of the iconic brand.
Surprisingly, the post went viral, and nearly 200,000 people saw and appreciated the sketches, including a French journalist who reposted Milan’s work.
Due to the viral post and the French journalist’s highlight, Louis Vuitton took notice of the designs.
“He’s just a little passionate about Louis Vuitton,” Louise wrote in her post, alongside an earnest request “Could you allow him a short one-week observation course or tell me how to proceed please? It’s his birthday on December 14th. Please please please.”
Officials at Louis Vuitton were impressed by Milan’s talent and Louise’s request, so they reached out and offered the young designer a week-long internship.
Milan felt that the amazing opportunity he had secured was life-changing.
“I felt more at ease there than at school, after two days,” he shared, explaining about the experience as “the beginning of life” and “magical.”
During his internship, Milan not only observed; he also continued to make more designs. He even created a briefcase design that matched well with the brand’s vision.
In a further update to the above incident, the proud mother once again shared her happiness and gratitude on X, by writing, ‘BELIEVE IN YOU! BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS! ALL IS POSSIBLE!’
