In a heartwarming turn of events, French luxury brand Louis Vuitton has made a teenager’s dream come true by offering him a coveted internship opportunity. The 13-year-old prodigy, Milan, gained attention on social media when his sketches of shoes, heels, and clothing inspired by the iconic brand went viral.
Milan’s mother, Louise Odessa, hailing from Paris, took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to share her son’s artistic creations, hoping to catch the attention of Louis Vuitton. The sketches showcased stylish pieces adorned with the brand’s distinctive monogram, including a high-top Louis Vuitton trainer, a tracksuit, high-heeled shoes, and a women’s clothing design.
🛑🚨⏳️[HELP] Je dois trouver impérativement un stage de 3e pour mon fils Milan de 13ans…et pas n'importe quelle Maison…
Bonjour @LouisVuitton
Mon fils est juste un petit peu, beaucoup, passionné par votre marque et le cuir.

Expressing her son’s profound passion for the brand and leather craftsmanship, Ms. Odessa reached out to Louis Vuitton, stating, “My son is just a little bit, a lot, passionate about your brand and leather.” She emphasized his skills in using Photoshop on a graphics tablet for his creations and his aspirations to pursue a professional baccalaureate and BTS in fashion professions.
Louis Vuitton responded to the heartfelt request by extending a special invitation to Milan for a one-week observational internship. The brand recognized the teenager’s potential and wasted no time in providing him with a unique opportunity to witness the world of luxury fashion up close.
Following the completion of the internship, Milan shared his experience with French news outlet BFMTV. He expressed his comfort and sense of belonging at Louis Vuitton, stating, “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 revealed that during his internship, he worked on sketches and even designed a briefcase in line with Louis Vuitton’s artistic vision.
This heartening story showcases the power of social media in connecting dreams with reality, as Louis Vuitton not only acknowledged Milan’s talent but also provided him with a transformative experience that left a lasting impact on the aspiring young designer.
