Inside Uche Uba’s Whimsical Costume Design for Call of My Life
In a recent interview, costume designer Uche Uba explains his approach to fashion as a form of visible psychology. He describes how each piece for Soluchi in the rom-com Call of My Life reflects her inner emotions and memories. The film follows Soluchi, a call-centre worker rebuilding her life after heartbreak. Uba created a colour palette and silhouette language that maps her journey from past pain to hopeful renewal. He drew on Lagos markets and international film references like Me Before You and Emily in Paris to craft a uniquely Nigerian aesthetic. By imagining Soluchi’s world from her bedroom decor to her thrifted outfits, Uba turned costume design into spatial storytelling. He used everyday fabrics and secondhand finds to give her character an authentic, playful style that surprised some viewers and delighted others.
