Meet Margaret Chola: The Viral 'Legendary Glamma' Inspirational Generations

At a time that is dominated by fast trends and fleeting internet frozen, an unlikely icon has risen to the viral status: Margaret Chola, also known as “legendary Glamma”, a sambian grandmother who fascinated the world with its breathtaking high-fashion-look.

Thanks to her granddaughter, the fashion style Diana Kaubba based in New York City, Chola has become the face of the “Granny series”, a project that combines style, culture and heir into an inspiring visual narrative festival for the eyes.

What started as a simple, personal homage to family history quickly became a movement that celebrated aging with grace, self -confidence and flair.

“I just wanted to document pictures with my grandma,” said Kaubba to “GMA” and explained how she initially took photos of her grandmother in front of her unfinished villa in Zambia. “I wanted to put them in the villa to grasp the story. I had no idea that these pictures would become what we have now.”

Kaubba published the first pictures of her grandmother in 2023 and didn't expect much more than a few reactions from friends and family. Instead, the Internet fell in love.

“People have just started demanding more,” recalled bait. “They said: 'This cannot be the beginning and the end. We need more of her. She brought something with us that we didn't know we needed.”

With chola in a breathtaking mixture of high-fashion couture and contemporary designs, every photo shoot shows an impressive fusion of bold poses, stylish ensembles and a breathtaking wow factor that jumps from the screen and chola embodied the essence of “legendary glamma” and nickname at all Made Grandmother Fitschalig.

The creative process behind every shoot is an organic mixture of the baisies eye for style and spontaneous natural moments. She carefully curates every look for her grandmother.

“She didn't say much in the outfit decisions,” admitted a laugh with a laugh. “Not that she cannot have a say, but I only built outfits and we appear on the set. I usually strive for three looks per shoot. In the third, she is tired and says:” Okay, are we done now? “

Despite the long shoots, Chola includes every look. “It becomes a character,” said Komatba. “Whether she is in a T-shirt or in a high-fashion suit, she completely embodies the style. The people love never know how it will appear next.”

The success of the “Granny series” has exceeded the wildest dreams. The project was presented in large publications, including Vogue Italia and National Geographic, with admirers extending over the globe. However, the most important effect was the emotional reaction of women who see themselves in Chola.

“I get DMS from people all the time who feel inspired,” said Komatba. “Women in the 1960s and 70s tell me that they started to get their style back. Some say:” I take my clothes back from my daughters and grandchildren – I can still wear them! “

Chola also felt the transformation. For a woman who felt neglected and was married at 12, this output of love was alive.

“She says she loves the whole world now,” said Komatba. “She is a global fashion icon and she has not even traveled. She tells the people, 'my granddaughter took me around the world and I haven't even left the house.'”

The “Grandma series” continues to thrive, with new filming takes place every two weeks. Chola herself has become an active participant and calls Bandba to plan filming. “She tells me: 'Okay, it's time for my next shoot. What do we do?'” Laikba laughed. “She even joked”, I'm bankrupt! I still have to make a shoot. '”

In the future, KHAMKBA has no plans to slow down. “We do this until she tells me that she no longer wants to,” she said. “Until then we keep it going.”

Chola's journey is proof of the power of representation, creativity and love between the generations. Due to the lens of her granddaughter, she has become a luminous fire of timeless style and proves that self -confidence, beauty and fashion have no expiry date.
