Comfort surpasses everything - Oda Pacifique

Oda Pacifique Uzamberumwana a.k.a Paccy is the Rwandan female hip –hop artiste behind the hit song Umusirimu. The rapper hit the music scene in 2009. She talked to Society Magazine’s Doreen Umutesi about her fashion sense. How would you describe your fashion sense? During my life off the stage, I dress up in casual wear most especially in long dresses and trousers. But as a Hip- Hip artiste on stage, I avoid dressing up in a skimpy way so as to be free while performing. What’s your favourite clothing item? My favorite clothing items are dresses, both short and long, because most of my friends say I look good in them. Where do you shop for clothes? I don’t have a specific place. When I see a great clothing item, I will just buy it. What do you consider when buying clothes? I believe to appear fashionable it’s about being comfortable, but choosing the right colours also has a role. If I try it on and it’s comfortable and will not appear inappropriate in public, I will instantly buy it. What is your favourite fashion accessory? My favourite fashion accessories are earrings and necklaces. Handbags are optional and depend on my dress code. What is your favourite clothing item on a guy? As long as the guy’s pants are not sagging, anything smart and casual is okay with me. What’s your favourite scent? I don’t have a specific scent that I love because I change perfumes frequently. I will know which one I will take when I reach the stall. Any fashion advice? I always think comfort surpasses everything in regards to dress code.
