Born in Ghana and raised in Nigeria, she came to Austria in 2004 and has lived in Vienna ever since. She started to build up her business "Hand Made Story by Barbara Alli" and from this cultural mix she created designs for European-African goods and fashion, which she produces mostly by hand from high-quality raw materials. Today, when Barbara Alli dances, she does so to the rhythm of her own songs and the rhythm of her heart. She now dedicates her passion to opening new pop-up stores, fashion shows on catwalks, her own fashion collection, and, if there is enough time, to performing on stage.
