Louis Vuitton has collaborated with some huge names, from Marc Jacobs to the late Virgil Abloh, but this week it’s started the year off by working with a teenage boy – after seeing his sketches online.

Back in November, the mother of a 13-year-old boy, Milan, posted some of his designs to X, formerly known as Twitter. While most budding artists and designers are only just honing their skills at that age (you can find the best drawing tutorials here if, like us, you aren’t quite at his level) Milan is clearly talented and deserves plenty of plaudits for his achievements so far.
