Louis and Stern
Louis Sarkozy (born April 28, 1997) is a fashion designer and the son of Nicolas Sarkozy and Cécilia Attias.
Personal Life
Louis is the son of Nicolas Sarkozy and Cécilia Attias and has an extended family of well-known figures including his stepmother, Carla Bruni. His uncle Olivier Sarkozy is married to Mary-Kate Olsen.
Louis spent his early life being shuffled between the apartments of high ranking officials like the Ministry of Interiors and the Ministry of the Economy.
He once got in trouble for throwing marbles and a tomato at a policewoman. Although, he was practically raised by the revolving door of police officers and ex-military personnel surrounding his father's presidency, which influenced him to almost join the US Military. He was accepted into the United States Naval Academy, but pulled out at the last second to attend New York University. He spoke about the decision: [3] [4]
"It turns out there's such a thing called clubs and music and there's another gender on this planet"
While Louis hasn't completely rules out politics, he joked about the roadblocks he would face in the United States:
"Unfortunately, there’s a bit of a glass ceiling if I go into politics here; because no foreign born can reach the White House office. I would have to amend the Foreign Constitution which is a small challenge…"
Sarkozy has been a contributing writer to The Washington Examiner's Beltway Confidential magazine with entries such as “Why I won’t vote for Trump in 2020, even though I would have in 2016” and “We don’t deserve Elon Musk."
He is in a relationship with New York model Natali Husic.
Education
Louis Sarkozy spent four years at the Valley Forge Military Academy and College in Pennsylvania. When he left for the academy he unsuccessfully tried to hide who he was. He said:
"I made myself ‘Louis Adams’ to conceal my identity – which failed miserably. Everybody knew after two weeks. They made me keep a silver spoon in my mouth – which was a wake up from the privilege."
He later enrolled in New York University as a Philosophy student.
Fashion
In 2019, Louis debuted his first fashion line, The Enigma Collection, in collaboration with Boonper. The collection was inspired by famous forward thinking figures like Marie Curie, Sigmund Freud, Thomas Jefferson and William Shakespeare. When discussing possible academic influencers to flaunt the shoes, they settled on four names: Harvard professor Steven Pinker, architect Robert A. M. Stern, novelist Joshua Cohen and Zachary R. Wood, the president of the student group Uncomfortable Learning.
