Georgie Badiel has only been modeling for a few seasons, but based on the number of runway shows under her belt, you'd think she was a veteran! Since her debut at London Fashion Week's Spring 2008 season, the Burkino Faso native has become one of fashion's most sought-after catwalk queens. With her take-no-prisoners walk and dazzling, deep-set eyes, this former pagaent queen (Miss Africa, 2005) has not only become a muse to some of fashion's biggest names, from House of Holland (left) to Diane von Furstenberg--she's also racked up an impressive number of high fashion editorials. We can't wait to see what the beautiful Ms. Badiel does next! In the meantime, check out some of our favorite runway moments from the gorgeous African gamine...
