Louis Mercurol was discovered in Paris in 2023, while studying chemistry and charting a path as both student. His breakthrough came when he was chosen to open the Prada men’s show in June 2023. A bold debut that instantly announced him as a model to watch. Since then, Louis has walked for some of fashion’s most esteemed houses: Dior, Givenchy, Ludovic de Saint-Sernin, Dries Van Noten, Loewe, Sacai, Kenzo, and Valentino. He also continues to balance academics and art, all while making his mark on runways and editorials. His face has drawn the lens of notable photographers: Laurence Ellis, Craig McDean, and Ned Rogers, capturing both his refined presence and quiet intensity. In 2024–2025, Louis has continued his momentum: he walked in Prada S/S 24 as the exclusive opener. His participation in shows for Givenchy, Loewe, Dries Van Noten, Kenzo and others further attest to the breadth of his growing fashion portfolio. Louis is one to watch: a model whose academic grounding in chemistry contrasts beautifully with his luminous presence in high fashion.
