Laragh is an award winning filmmaker, photographer and nature lover from Dublin. She started work in the international fashion industry at the age of fourteen as a model with career highlights including runway, campaigns and editorial for Chanel, Prada, Louis Vuitton and Vogue to name a few. This early career allowed her to thrive in an environment working with world class creatives giving her a distinct edge in understanding the world of fashion and communications which can be seen in her work today.
Alongside creating ethereal visual work influenced by her experiences in fashion and authentic stories exploring mental health, friendships and social justice issues, Laragh earned an Outstanding Achievement Award as a Climate Ambassador with An Taisce, for her dedication to harnessing the arts and her experience in fashion to communicate solutions to the climate crisis.
She is the founder of several environmentally driven projects, including grassroots community ‘Climate Love Ireland’ and its circular fashion initiative ‘Climate Love Fashion’. Her latest initiative ‘Where is She Project’ strives to help teens find their place in climate action through cinema, education and community. It launched in L’Academie du Climat in Paris and the Irish Museum of Modern Art in 2023.
Across all of her projects, sustainability is at its heart with teams reusing materials, adopting secondhand clothes, connecting with circular, local or sustainable businesses to achieve creative objectives and leave no trace. Laragh’s environmental consultancy work facilitates other film and fashion productions in becoming more sustainable, supporting decision making at every stage whilst retaining creative excellence.
