Legendary Glamma: Timeless Style

For NYC-based stylist Dee and her brand The Vintage Point, style, class and glam have no age limit. Dee proves this through her new content series “Granny Series,” in which the NYC fashion connoisseur utilizes fashion to highlight her elderly grandmother. 

Dee’s grandmother, Margaret Chola, is seen on Instagram rocking styles that are elegantly timeless and chic, all the while maintaining a hint of modernity to the clothes that her granddaughter styles her in. From fancy headwear to fabulous pantsuits, Miss Chola does not dress to "un-impress."

The delicate interweaving of silk, lace, Irish crochet, bridal veils, florals, ribbons, and bows all create fashion pieces that reinterpret designs that are seen as traditionally feminine. All thanks to one designer working out of her house in Dublin with her diligent mother, Angela.
