A Zambian woman in her 80s is adored for modelling in striking and playful fashion photographs.
A grandmother in rural Zambia has become an accidental style icon and internet sensation - after agreeing to play dress-up and swapping outfits with her fashionista granddaughter.
During that visit Ms Kaumba had not worn all her carefully curated outfits, so she asked her grandmother - or "Mbuya" in the Bemba language - if she wanted to try them on. That natural habitat is a farm in the village of 10 Miles, just north of the Zambian capital, Lusaka. From a green American football jersey, combined with a layered frilly red dress styled as a skirt - in the colours of the Zambian flag to pay homage to 60 years of independence.And Mbuya’s personal favourite - jeans, a graphic T-shirt with her image on the front and a blonde wig.Ms Kaumba, who has been a stylist since 2012, says that her grandma has "courage, grace - and nails every look".
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.Other accessories also reflect Chola’s personality and story.
