About Me

David Ruff is a creator, writer, and consultant. Born and raised in New York City, Ruff found inspiration in its vibrant culture and diverse styles from an early age. Between drawing fashion illustrations and immersing himself in the pages of Vogue, he frequently captured images and styled outfits for friends and family. Rooted in a background of visual arts and writing, he began sharing and curating posts during high school, utilizing his blog and social media as expressive platforms. Since 2016, Ruff’s experience has been marked by substantial growth, cultivating a community of over 250,000 followers across channels.

His distinct creative and personal approach strongly resonates with his audience and partners. Ruff’s work with prestigious brands such as Chanel, Hermès, Kilian Paris, Marriott Bonvoy, Nordstrom, Sephora, Tom Ford Beauty, and Veuve Clicquot has shaped his profound understanding of the ever-evolving luxury landscape.

Ruff collaborates closely with Jill Demling on creative, consulting, and casting for select editorial and commercial projects; her clients include British Vogue, CR Fashion Book, MICHELIN Guide, Sotheby’s, Tod’s, and more.

He is pursuing a journalism and mass communications degree from George Washington University’s School of Media and Public Affairs.
