WE BOTH LOVE BOLD PRINTS

- Interviews: ALICE SMELLIE

MADDIE DALE, 22, from London, works in marketing. Christine Dale, 80, is her grandmothe­r and lives in Birmingham.

‘I LOVE my granny’s sense of style. In this picture, she’s on holiday in Newquay, Cornwall, and it’s 1953.

‘Like her, I prefer prints and bold colours, which I don’t think many girls my age do.

‘I tried on a skirt of hers the other day, which had a purple and green print on a navy background, and I’ll be borrowing it some time soon.

‘I think my grandma looks sweet and respectabl­e — but when I wore the outfit I felt a bit like a librarian!
