Lulu Hassan and her husband, Rashid Abdallah, possess a secret recipe for successfully expanding the brand of a celebrity or media figure. Ever since the couple announced their joint involvement in the Swahili bulletin, they have gained immense popularity on both television and Instagram, boasting a combined following of 1.6 million.
Rashid Abdalla, a fashion connoisseur with an exceptional eye for detail and a remarkable sense of style, often showcases his own unique clothing creations. From formal attire to casual wear, he skillfully incorporates vibrant kitenge elements to achieve the desired effect.
According to Rashid, the key to personal image, branding, and style lies in how well a garment fits. He firmly believes that the right fit can make a significant difference, transforming an individual’s appearance from merely stylish to nearly flawless.
Through his Instagram page, Rashid generously shares fashion tips and insights, providing valuable advice to his followers. While the knowledge is freely given, the actual looks are available for purchase separately, allowing his fans to emulate his fashionable choices.
Observing the likes of Lulu, Rashid, Size 8, Muthoni Mukiri, and other celebrities, Okuto, a prominent fashion influencer, has discovered the substantial influence that celebrities wield within the fashion industry. Journalists and fashion critics dedicate significant attention and time to reviewing the attire donned by celebrities for special occasions.
The advent of social media has brought forth a new wave of fashion influencers in Kenya. These influencers regularly share their own images on platforms such as Instagram and Facebook, gaining a substantial following. Among them, Rashid Abdalla has become a trending topic on social media, thanks to his association with Okuto—the man of style.
Rashid’s recent fashion statement involved him wearing a perfectly fitting black t-shirt and blue jeans. He posed for pictures on a rooftop, with the stunning views of the capital city serving as a picturesque backdrop. However, keen observers noticed an intriguing detail on his t-shirt that may have either escaped his notice or intentionally conveyed a message. The shirt bore an inscription suggesting his prominence, reading, “My PEN IS bigger than yours.”
Rashid shared the captivating photo with the caption, “#sisemikitu Nikisahau nalia, nikikumbuka nacheka” (“When I forget, I cry, when I remember, I laugh”). His t-shirt garnered significant attention and sparked discussions among his fans.
