About Us
Fallou Wadje
Baayfall is a Spiritual Lifestyle for those who choose to seek knowledge of Higher Self in the inner and outer world.
Baayfalls are from Senegal, a Spiritual Tribe created by MAAM CHEIKH IBRAHIMA FALL, Fallou's Ancestor.
Fallou immigrated from Senegal to the US in 2013 with a master in finance, pursuing to graduate at Southern Illinois University and decide instead to go bold and become an artist. For her, education was a childhood dream, based on what family, Society told us, get a job pay bills. For Growth, She craved deeper meaning with her life than just following a crowd, a system.
She started Baayfall Hustler in the streets of Harlem in 2015. From a single vendor table with one hundred nighty two dollars merchandise, and later on, to six tables, crafting hats, shirts and selling african jewelry.
In 2017, Fallou shared a store front with other Harlem vendors and later on 2018, opened her own: clothing store near me on 125th street and 5th avenue Harlem.
Baayfall Hustler became Baayfall Fashions LLC with a gallery, showroom on 121st street Malcolm X boulevard in Harlem.
Fallou is the artist, designer and creative director of Baayfall Fashions llc.
Her art reflects on life purpose, helps understand shadow work and shows the beauty of the transcendental world. Thru Fashion and Art, Fallou express Spirituality using her own ancestral heritage practices to attract greatness into that cloth and or canvas.
as she explained: In a world full of distractions, stay knowing who U are, don’t cheat on Urself.

"Fallou Wadje"
Painted by Jordan Casteel in 2018, Fallou depicts Baayfall Fashion’s founder when she opened her Harlem storefront that same year. The piece was purchased by music legends Alicia Keys and her husband Swizz Beats, and is now part of the Dean Collection, one of the most important assemblages of work by African-American artists in the world.
