David Luraschi on Childlike Wonder, Chaos and His Forthcoming Book The O File
In a piece for Northern Love, a new ambery woody fragrance created by Bruno Jovanovic for Éditions de Parfums Frédéric Malle, photographer David Luraschi reminisces about the playful chaos of his childhood. He shares a vivid memory of navigating Riga's central market, trailing behind elderly women to a bus stop, likening it to the theatrical moments he shared with his sister, captured by their father’s camera. Originally from Paris, Luraschi pursued film studies at San Francisco State University and later received a Master’s in art direction from École cantonale d'art de Lausanne. His impressive portfolio includes work for Vogue and collaborations with brands like Hermès and Dior. Notable projects include Ensemble (2021), Stop Following Me (2024), and The O File, expected in September 2026.
