Milan's mother, Louise Odessa, took to social media, particularly X (formerly Twitter), where she shared images of her son's creative endeavours.

Bonjour @LouisVuitton
Mon fils est juste un petit peu, beaucoup, passionn¨¦ par votre marque et le cuir.

The mother said that her teenager is "a little bit, a lot, passionate about your brand and leather", and she had never seen him as "amazed" when he came to know about the history of Louis Vuitton. "I absolutely have to find a 3rd year internship for my 13-year-old son Milan...and not just any House... Hello @LouisVuitton My son is just a little bit, a lot, passionate about your brand and leather. He is also very good at Photoshop on a graphics tablet for his creations and plans to do a professional baccalaureate and bts in fashion professions," she wrote in the post in November.
"I have never seen him as amazed as the day he introduced me to your exhibition in front of the Samaritaine, he knew a lot about the partnerships and the history of Louis Vuitton. 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," Ms Odessa stated.
Notable among the sketches were a high-top Louis Vuitton trainer, a tracksuit, high-heeled shoes, and a sophisticated women's clothing design.
Louis Vuitton extended the opportunity to intern
In a heartwarming turn of events, Louis Vuitton took notice of Milan's exceptional talent and extended an invitation for a one-week observational internship in December.
The brand recognized Milan's potential and welcomed him into the world of high fashion, giving him a unique opportunity to experience the industry from within.
Milan's reaction to Louis Vuitton internship
After completing the internship, Milan shared his thoughts with French news outlet BFMTV, expressing the profound impact of the experience. He revealed, "I felt more at ease there than at school, after two days. I really felt in my community. It is magic. For me, it's the beginning of life."
Milan enthusiastically described his time at Louis Vuitton, where he translated his artistic vision into reality by creating sketches and even designing a briefcase in line with the brand's distinctive style.
