The chilhood

Let us take you back to a cherished childhood memory. At the age of  7 or 8 years old when a childhood friend and Nogaye decided to play dress-up in our mothers’ clothes.

Little did we know, our mischievous adventure caught the attention of the older brother next door, who playfully chased us away, warning us with a mischievous grin. It was a moment filled with laughter and innocence, and it remains etched in my memory to this day.

As fate would have it, her little sister and Nogaye ended up with matching outfits made from the same fabric.

Her uncle, a skilled tailor and her mother’s brother, transformed the fabric into clothes for the childrens.
Nogaye vividly recall explaining every detail of the design she desired, leaving her uncle a bit bewildered.

Despite his best efforts, the final result was not exactly what she had envisioned. However, it turned out to be a unique and beautiful creation that caught the attention and admiration of her school friends.

This amusing anecdote reflects the spirit of Nogaye Fina Fall, the creative mind behind the brand Nogaye Fall #NF.
After years of selling her signature Almadokh clothes and customized leather sandals, she ventured into designing her own collections.

The Year 2019

In 2019, Nogaye Fina unveiled her first clothing collection, aptly named « Dokh-Dadié, » which translates to « everything there is » in Wolof. This streetwear-inspired collection drew inspiration from stage outfits, showcasing Nogaye’s distinctive style.

The journey continued with the « Ségg » collection in 2021, featuring intricately hand-beaded and accessorized outfits made from a delightful tiger-print fabric. This collection embodied the fierce and confident spirit of a feline mother.

Then came the eagerly anticipated « Abat-jour » (Lampshade) collection, showcased at Festimod Saint Louis Sénégal. This collection brought together fashion and art in a captivating love story. Inspired by the soft illumination that graces the bedroom, « Abat-jour » sought to unveil the secrets hidden beneath the garments, modestly revealing and illuminating without excess. The collection boasted 10 unique outfits, artistically crafted using a mix of recycled plastic wrapped in textile. Through this collection, Nogaye Fall also expressed her commitment to environmental sustainability and the fight to save our precious planet.

Now, with her latest collection, « Bour Ak Linguere, » meaning « King and Queen, » Nogaye Fall pays homage to the nobility and elegance of our grandparents’ attire.
Drawing inspiration from traditional garments like the bayelat, Nogaye Fall adds her unique touch with a hood that gracefully transforms into a scarf.

The collection showcases a range of « Robe-manteau » (Dress Coat) with versatile hoods that can be worn as scarves.
With long, short, and 3/4-length models designed for both men and women, and even unisex options.

The « Bour Ak Linguere » collection epitomizes regal style and inclusivity.

The « Gueer ak Linguer » line, a part of Nogaye Fall’s collection, embraces the spirit of nobility and offers a diverse range of clothing options for everyone. It is a line that is yours to explore and embody.
