Mosha Danze is arguably one of the most stylish TV personalities in this town. We bet some of his fans tune in to watch his show, just so as to catch a glimpse of what he will be wearing. What we love the most about his fashion sense is how urban and effortless it is , but remarkable and comes off looking very much on point. He shares his style story.
Who has the biggest influence in your outfit choices?
That would be Kanye West. He experiments, understands his body and cleans up nice. His also a fashion designer, has influence in the fashion industry (I mean he has Anna Wintours number on speed dial.), his career is thriving and he is dating a very beautiful lady. He is fashion forward both in sweat pants and a tux. That right there is a fashion god.
Tell us one thing we don’t know about your wardrobe?
My wardrobe has more t-shirts than anything else. I love my tees to be loose elsewhere but a bit tight on the arm. I like to breathe especially around my belly and chest so I like a wavy tee. I am big on the oversize tend. I also like a t-shirt long enough to cover my “private” area. Not a big fan of those who’s length ends at the belt. That’s a Fashion Don’t. Kanye wouldn’t approve. Lol
What does fashion mean to you?
Fashion to me is expressing my mood, and attitude, without saying a word.
What is your most prized fashion item, and for how long have you had it?
Actually, I own an original Swatch. I have had it for two years now. It was a gift from a friend. I got it for my birthday in 2013, I guess. I didn’t know how much it was until I scanned its bar code on the casing. I saw its retail price and I froze. I thought to myself, “Now Mosha this is a friend you keep.”
What are some of your fashion No-No’s?
Never walk around with smelly armpits or smelly feet.
Who is your style crush?
I actually have no style crush really.
What is your style secret? One that works for you alone?
This might not work for me alone but working out and eating healthy is my style secret.
What are some of the irritating fashion blunders you notice with our female celebrities?
The excessive bleaching. Too much make up. Tired weaves and the notion that, “Short and Skimpy is sexy.”
Which celebrity’s wardrobe would you wish to give a total revamp?
I’m sorry to say this but Straka. She’s a beautiful buxom lady who needs to understand her body. Enough with the colored hair and tight outfits. Treat your body right. We’ve seen many ladies in Hollywood dress appropriate. Like Amber Riley and Queen Latifah. I understand it’s her trademark but is it still working? Well no. Maybe a makeover is what she needs to explore her potential. She’s talented. I’d love to see more of her… in a better dressed way of course
Do you have a fashion addiction?
I’m addicted to colognes and shoes. I own about 40 pairs of shoes, that I have collected over the years.
With the ever changing trends in fashion, how easy is it for your wardrobe to catch up, with this?
I don’t follow trends. I buy statement and timeless pieces that can work for any season. e.g. Black Jeans those will never go out of style.
Any fashion tips you would like to share?
Beauty comes from within. Eat healthy. Keep fit and most importantly, LOVE YOURSELF.
Shorts Vs. Leather pants. Your pick?
Shorts. Leather pants in Ugandan weather should be a no-no. It’s too hot here… I bet Kanye Would hate anyone who wore leather pants in the scorching sun of Kampala.
