I don’t have a specific place where I shop but I do have a collection from different places for my casual clothes like Toi and Mr Price among others.

I also design my own clothes; I love unique good quality stuff.

It’s evident you love colours, why?

Colour is always good to the eye and brightens up my day.

How do you style your hair?

I always like it simple— a ponytail on any casual day.

What are your favourite accessories?

I rarely walk out of the house without earrings; it would feel odd. I also love beaded bracelets and necklaces; they are my favourite. Accessories always complete the outfit. I am a jewellery designer so I guess what I am my own best fan. When it comes to jewellery I do most of my accessories.

The most expensive fashion item you have?

I guess it’s a dress I had it made a while ago which cost me Sh9,500 for a certain occasion. I only wore it once and decided to alter the design later because I didn’t like it.

Who dresses you during major events?

I dress myself. I design my own clothes for events, video shoots and

interviews... name it.

Whose style do you admire locally?

Emmy Kosgei has a unique way of dressing the African way Also Kambua just knows what suits her.

Your go-to outfit on most occasions?

Depending on the occasion I will either don Afro maxi, or if it’s a youthful event I will come up with a new style one-hand-bole-row tops with decent trousers.

Which fashion trends will you be sporting this year?

Apparently I’m not a trends person but I always love to evolve

with time and come up with new fashion designs that uniquely blend with the current styles.

If you had a choice which designer would you liked to be dressed by?

Umm apart from Alice Kamande? Kiko Romeo; they have very neat and unique African style, I just love it.

Describe your ideal man of style?

Simple, clean and neat in dressing, well groomed, versatile,who knows when to wear what.

What is your style motto?

Dress uniquely what suits your body shape and size for comfort,

confidence and to stay fashionably decent.

What fashion trends do you dislike in women?

Every woman is beautiful. The only bad fashion trend is the one that doesn’t suit your

body; it’s that simple.

Who needs to upgrade their style in the industry?

I don’t have anyone in particular but coloured dread-locked guys and

sagging trousers are not really an eye-

catcing picture.
