Raff started modelling around the age of 16, and since then he's featured on catwalks for the likes of Valentino and DKNY. "It took me a couple of jobs to understand that I liked it a lot, to get in touch with stimulating people, starting with the photographers you shoot with," he told L'Officiel. "It also helped me strengthen my self-esteem and to make me discover a fundamental aspect of my character."
