Describe your style?

I like jeans, especially the kind with a narrow hem, and fitting designer t-shirts. I do scarfs and jackets too. I like to look good and it has nothing to do with people’s judgment.

So, it’s not about people?

Very often it is not. The only time I go for something soft and casual is when I have to interact with old folks.

What accessories do you like?

I like snapbacks, the ones basketball or football stars like to wear. They are comfortable.

What is your favourite cologne?

I use San Siro; it’s a deodorant but it has a nice smell.

Do you buy second hand clothes?

I used to but I stopped. If I want to shop, I go to Mr. Price at Kigali City Tower.There’s also a specific shop I go to in Nyamirambo.

Not even for shoes? People say they are durable.

No, I just don’t go for second-hand stuff.

Which new trends are you picking up on?

I’m now into colour. I have a pair of cotton jeans that are orange in colour.

What’s your comment on ladies’ dress code in church?

I’m not a fan of carefree dressing. There are many uncommitted Christians in church and when they see revealing clothing, they may end up not concentrating.
