𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝 𝐅𝐢𝐡𝐞𝐫 Puts Moroccan Talent on the Fashion Map

In a world where fashion models come and go, Walid Fiher stands out—not just for his striking features and runway presence, but for how he represents a new generation of North African excellence on the global stage. With a portfolio that includes luxury giants like Hermès, Bottega Veneta, Dolce & Gabbana, and Moncler, Fiher is becoming one of the most recognizable Moroccan faces in international fashion.

A Global Journey: From Steel Models to the Big Four

Represented by Steel Models Management in Milan as his mother agency, Walid Fiher’s career trajectory has been meteoric. He is currently signed with Next Management in Milan, London, and Madrid, and with Soul Artist Management in New York—agencies that have helped him gain access to the world’s top fashion houses.

In 2025 alone, he walked for Paul Smith, Dolce & Gabbana, Etro, Dsquared², Hermès, Fursac, Casablanca, and Moncler, to name just a few. He appeared at Paris Fashion Week, Milan Fashion Week, and London Fashion Week, cementing his presence across all major fashion capitals.

A Runway Favorite

Fiher’s recent appearances during the Spring/Summer 2026 shows were a testament to his elite status in the industry. He opened and closed for Officine Générale in Paris and walked for Paul Smith, Dolce & Gabbana, and Montblanc—all within a single week in June. Earlier in 2025, he turned heads in the snowy setting of Courchevel for Moncler Grenoble's F/W 25 presentation, bringing his signature cool to a high-altitude runway.

Editorial Elegance

Beyond the runway, Fiher’s face has graced some of the most prestigious fashion editorials in the world. In 2025, he was featured in:

  • Arena Homme+ China – “Strayed Into Emerald Wilds” by Giuseppe Vaccaro
  • M Le Monde – “À (EM) PORTER” by Rodrigo Carmuega
  • GQ Mexico – April 2025 spread by JuanKr, where his minimalist, structured look brought Bottega Veneta’s designs to life
  • These high-impact editorials reflect his unique versatility: he can shift from high-concept minimalism to avant-garde maximalism effortlessly.

Campaign Star

Fiher’s growing appeal in commercial fashion is just as impressive. He fronted the Ray-Ban 2025 Icons Campaign, photographed by Axel Morin, and starred in Bottega Veneta’s Winter 2024 campaign, shot by Alec Soth. These global campaigns not only highlight his charisma and adaptability but also his growing value to international brands looking to connect with younger, diverse audiences.

He also appeared in Zara’s Winter 2024 “Midnight Script” campaign and the collaborative Zara x Nanushka 2024 collection, further proving his mass-market appeal without losing his high-fashion edge.

Representing North Africa on the World Stage

Originally from Morocco, Walid Fiher joins the likes of Ben Tekaya in redefining what it means to be a male model from the Maghreb. His nomination for Male Model of the Year speaks volumes about how far African models have come in breaking barriers and making history in the fashion industry.

His participation in high-profile campaigns and editorials across Europe and the United States is a powerful reminder of fashion’s growing diversity. He is not only an ambassador of Moroccan talent but a global symbol of elegance, confidence, and the modern male form.

The Y/Project Moment

One of Fiher’s defining moments came with Y/Project’s SS24 show during Paris Fashion Week. Under the direction of Glenn Martens and a creative team including makeup artist Inge Grognard and hair stylist Gary Gill, Fiher delivered a disheveled, artistic look that perfectly captured the spirit of the collection. The show was widely shared on social media, with Fiher’s walk drawing attention for its edgy, expressive energy.
