Aurélien was Carla Bruni’s first child, born in 2001. Bruni was well-known for her grace and charisma.
Their narrative was laced with mystery since it was born out of a friendship with young philosopher and radio personality Raphael Entoven and involved links to prominent people like Jean-Paul Enthoven and Bernard-Henri Levy.
The life of Carla’s son remained mostly secret, even though her path from the fashion runways to the Élysée Palace with Nicolas Sarkozy frequently made headlines. But Aurélien’s recent public appearances—most notably on the Versace runway—alluded to the beginning of a new era.
Aurélien’s interests have been diverse, ranging from politics to science, notwithstanding his early plunge into fashion.
After graduating from Columbia University, he showed a strong interest in paleontology and even dabbled in politics, igniting small-scale debates with his opinions.

One thing is certain as Aurélien forges ahead: Carla Bruni’s son’s legacy is certain to make a lasting impression on the global scene.
