Alioune Badara Fall
Alioune Badara Fall is a multi-creative, model and designer in the fashion and entertainment space. As a Senegalese multi-hyphenate, he has strategically used his cultural roots to build a foundation and a remarkable aesthetic across an array of industries. With being featured on covers such as WWD’s September issue, to styling spreads in American Vogue, GQ and Dior Magazine to name a few, and starting his own brand ABF – which has been seen on a plethora of celebs – Alioune is just getting started in his creative journey.
While the creator has an immense appreciation for the fashion industry, his talents transcend into addressing challenges that models face behind closed doors. During the beginning of the pandemic, Fall saw a need to not only tackle but address issues such as mental health and speaking on untold stories in the modeling profession. He started SEETU (which means "mirror" in Wolof) a live conversation series, where he interviewed over 30 models and collaborated with Models.com as well as IMG Models to bring a diverse group of stories to life.
Ultimately, Alioune prides himself for using his platform to tackle much needed conversations that are often avoided in the industry while pushing the envelope forward as an African in such an elite space.
