The 1st Season of the Airtel Trace Music Star came to an end on Saturday evening. The grand finale took place at Serena hotel Kampala. Sandra Suubi was declared winner and will be representing Uganda in the Nairobi at the continental competition. As usual Fashion Police256 was there to capture all the action. The female contestants, the judge Angella Katatumba and Loud n’ City’s Tinah Teise were dressed by Zirian Missfixit. Here are a few shots from the event.
It is finny how a simple undergarment can spoil an otherwise would-be great look. A case in point is the bra.
Many people pay attention the fitting – which is very important – but not so much to the straps.
That explains why the disgusting look of bra straps peeking their ugly eyes underneath a strapless dress is common.
If you are going to wear a strapless dress or top, do not leave the house unless you are wearing a strapless bra underneath.
You are better off going bra-less if you can pull that off than kill the look with a bra with straps.
The unease or fear of having a strapless bra fall off could be the reason some women are not familiar with the undergarment. But they are designed to prop your mounds up steadily.
To avoid that awkward moment when you feel the need to hide behind a friend to subtly adjust your bra, here are a few tips.
The most important reason for the fall could be the fabric. So invest in a high-quality strapless bra because the fabric and quality of the bra is one of the major reasons why your bra may be falling.
This kind of bra must also be the right size. Stores such as Woolworths offer free services to ladies seeking to know their bra sizes.
Alternatively, go for a strapless, long-line bra that covers your full torso, or up to your rib cage. This makes it hard for it to slip.
Many opt for the clear or transparent straps – a highly recommended option – but if you can go totally strapless, the neater.
Uganda’s own top model, winner of season one of Africa’s Next Top Model and the face of Kampala Fashion Week is really scaling heights. Early this week she hit the runway at the Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion week 2015. If that is not inspiring for any Ugandan model, then what is? She showcased Tome and Richard Chai’s 2015 collection. Aamito, now based in New York shared runway photos wearing Richard Chai’s signature apocalyptic outerwear, sturdy stripes and muted fall tones. She also shared a photo showcasing Tome’s oversized camel deign plus some back stage pictures. Aamito is signed to DNA Model Management-New York/ Boss Models South Africa/ Joram Model Management in Uganda. View some photos below

Some trends never get out of fashion. Like the slit. The lengths may vary but the leg showing trend and the cut that goes with it are here to stay.
You do not need a super-slim physique, miles-long legs, or a perfectly defined waist to pull
off this look.
Whether it is worn in the form of a maxi dress, floor-length skirt, or full-out glamorous gown, a thigh-high slit is one of the simplest ways to add a little oomph and sex appeal to your night-out outfit. It can be tasteful and subtle when done the right way. You just need a few tricks.
For every design, fabric is everything so, choose the right fabric. What’s the point of wearing a slit if it is in heavy wool and allows for little movement and few chances for a peek at your leg?
That is why it is smart to choose a flowing, lightweight fabric like satin or chiffon. The human eye will follow the slit down to the feet so it is important to complete the look with a nice pair of heels or low profile sandals.
The slit is seductive and one way to drive the point home is by defining your waist. Your options are a thin belt or a thick band of contrasting colour fabric.
For any trend, you have the option of staying within your comfort zone.
If the full-on frontal slit is too much for you, opt for a more subtly placed side slit, which offers all the drama of a front slit, but in a more toned-down way.
