‘Legendary Glamma’: How Zambia’s Margret Chola became a fashion icon
And Mbuya’s personal favourite – jeans, a graphic T-shirt with her image on the front and a blonde wig.
“I had never worn jeans or a wig before – so I was happy, and I was dancing.”
Ms Kaumba, who has been a stylist since 2012, says that her grandma has “courage, grace – and nails every look”.
All the looks reflect her maximalist-chic aesthetic – which celebrates the joy of excess, eclectic combinations, the big and the bold, and clashing patterns and colours.
At the heart of it all are eye-catching accessories – bold sunglasses, oversized hats, necklaces, bracelets, pendants, rings, gloves, bags, blonde wigs, crowns.
That influence has come directly from her grandmother, who has “always been a lover of pearls and bangles”.
In one particularly playful scene called GOAT – short for greatest of all time – Ms Chola appears with a goat – that is decked out in Mbuya’s beloved pearls.
