My Style: Lynda Ddane Uwamahoro – Day 3

Meet Lynda Ddane Uwamahoro, our style star this week. She’s a TV host and media personality currently working with UBC TV.

My personal style in a few words is “comfortable, daring and flamboyant “. Black is my favorite color as it somewhat sneaks its way into everything I wear. However, I still love to play with colour in my outfit choices better than a preschooler does with their crayons. This is what fascinates me about African print. The colour galore is breathtaking.

I do not have an exact shopping spot. I buy different things from different places and many times I tweak them to suit me and my character. Like adding cut outs or prints to make them different from the usual because I find normal a bit boring.
Style icons … I’d pick Rihanna because I’m always drawn to her fashion sense. Her character and mine are not so different. If you asked me for another, I would pick Meagan Good because I just have a crush on her.
I work with different photographers like Mujumbura Oneal, Fred Bugembe, Daville of Multiways Photography and Benie Popie among others. They are all super talented but with totally different points of view.

I don’t think one has to be boring and predictable with their formal looks. Everyone knows what flatters them. So flaunt whatever that is you have even with your formal looks.
I may not be big in the chest region. But, I play around with my high points. Cut outs, high waist skirts and trousers that flatter my waist work for me. I naturally love cut outs because I’m a daring person.
