My Style: Lynda Ddane Uwamahoro – Day 4

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.

There’s nothing better than wearing something that complements your personality and body shape. I don’t like the usual basic normal dress code. I consider myself a rebel of fashion. I dress like me, to suit me, and to define only me.

By Adding cut outs I give my outfit an edge and make it a little more exciting and captivating. It’s a sight for sore eyes. It doesn’t necessarily need to be cut outs. You can personalize your look by adding prints of buttons or sequins depending on what tickles your fancy. Bottom line is Normal is boring.
