Milan, like many talented youngsters, has attention issues. However, this did not stop him from displaying his love for fashion through some amazing designs, as reported by the Daily Mail.
He admires the French designer brand Louis Vuitton deeply, so he poured his heart out into sketches of sneakers, loungewear, tracksuits, and even women’s dresses, while including the brand’s famous logo.
Milan’s mother, Louise Odessa, saw his potential and decided to share his artwork online.
She posted the sketches on X, hoping to catch some attention of the iconic brand.
Little did she know, the post would go viral, capturing the attention of nearly 200,000 people, including a French journalist who highlighted Milan’s work. And that’s when Louis Vuitton took notice.
“He’s just a little passionate about Louis Vuitton,” Louise wrote in her post, alongside a touching plea: “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.”
Touched by Milan’s talent and Louise’s dedication, Louis Vuitton reached out and offered the young designer a week-long internship. This amazing opportunity proved to be life-changing for Milan.
“I felt more at ease there than at school, after two days,” he shared, describing 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 continuation of 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!’
