Pulse: What is your style?
Shaa: Eclectic, just like my music. I dress depending on my mood.
P: ...and what inspires the style?
S: Everything and everyone around me; the music I listen to, my friends, my favourite actresses, singers and stylists
P: Do you consider yourself fashion conscious?
S: No. I am stylish, as Coco Chanel said, 'Fashion changes, but style endures.'
P: What is the weirdest fashion trend you have ever rocked?
S: Those really high Spice Girls' platform shoes in my early teens. Surprisingly, they are coming back.
P: Who is the best dressed person you have ever met?
S: Christabella Octavia Kaisi, my late mother. A typical African mother, her style was chic, classy and comfortable and she always dressed her shape and size, something that many ladies seem to fall short on.
P: What is 'fashion'?
S: Your lifestyle choices; how you dress, how you talk, what you read, how you think, how you walk...
P: If you were to raid anyone's closet, which celebrity would most likely fall victim?
S: The Kardashians. Very sexy, chic, fun with a touch of elegance.
P: What is the most expensive fashion piece in your closet?
S: A nude pointed stiletto and a black-and-gold heel by designer Kurt Geiger
P: The V.I.P (Very Important Piece) in your closet..?
S: My gold Ray-Ban aviator classic sunglasses. I am always rocking them, whether it is sunny or not.
P: What kind of guys do you admire?
S: Those who take fashion risks but understand their bodies, like guys who can rock 'feminine colours'.
P: The ultimate 'chill out' look..?
S: A Dira, nothing beats the cosiness of a Dira.
P: Fashion motto...
S: Vivienne Westwood said it best, 'Buy less, Choose well.'
P: Where do you mostly shop from?
S: The local boutiques in Dar, at least twice a week.
P: Who dresses you to events?
S: Myself. I am a very hands-on kind of person, and find it fun to dress and style myself.
P: An ideal date should come dressed...
S: As I am in a relationship, my date always dresses as he wants to and usually involves a T-shirt, casual jeans and some Converse All Star shoes.
