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. 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,” Milan’s mother wrote in the post.

“Could you allow him a short one-week OBSERVATION course or tell me how to proceed please?” she asked while noting that her son's birthday falls in December.

Bonjour @LouisVuitton
