I have never kept it a secret that im totally inspired by Singer turned Model/Stylist/DJ Solange Knowles, just as anticipated she doing major on the fashion industry and i continue to feed on the soul of her style. The ELLE team made the month of November complete for be as though it had started already by doing such a great job of putting Miss Knowles on the cover.
The “Losing You” singer is captured on the November 2012 cover sporting bold colors and eye-catching prints, a combination that she iss known (and loved) for. The bright yellow background and Solange’s enviable curly hair add to the cover’s overall awesomeness–don’t you agree?
Solange told Hummington Post during New York Fashion Week last month that the shoot would feature outfits created by South African fashion designers, and she didn’t disappoint. For the cover image, which was shot by Justin Polkey and styled by ELLE fashion editor Asanda Sizani, Solange is wearing a sleeveless satin top by Tart, high-waisted shorts by Loin Cloth & Ashes and two wrists full of extra large rope bracelets by Pichulik.
And here is the magazine’s press release:
ELLE SA’S NOVEMBER COVER A HIT WITH THE HUFFINGTON POST
The Huffington Post has named ELLE magazine Solange Knowles cover their favourite magazine cover this year. The Pulitzer-winning US news website has singled out ELLE SA’s November cover featuring Knowles in a sleeveless satin top by Tart, high-waisted shorts by Loin Cloth & Ashes and rope bracelets by Pichulik.The cover shoot, by Cape Town photographer Justin Polkey, was produced by the ELLE fashion team headed up by fashion director Poppy Evans.
The decision to bring Knowles to South Africa for a cover featuring local designs was made after entrants in an ELLE reader style feature named the US singer-songwriter as their style icon. A cover line describes the singer as ‘fashion’s new It-girl’, a title they fully endorse, writes Julee Wilson of The Huffington Post.
Wilson adds: ‘The “Losing You” singer is captured on the November 2012 cover sporting bold colours and eye-catching prints, a combination that she is known (and loved) for. The bright yellow background and Solange’s enviable curly hair add to the cover’s overall awesomeness.’
ELLE editor Jackie Burger described the Solange Knowles shoot as ‘a moment beyond our wildest dreams’, saying the team had ‘taken a “what if” and turned it into an “if you can dream it, you can do it” reality.’
Of the acknowledgement from The Huffington Post, Burger commented: ‘It puts the seal on what is turning out to be a very special year for ELLE.’
Social media networks went into overdrive at the end of August when word leaked that Solange Knowles had arrived in Cape Town for an ELLE cover shoot. Knowles spent several days with the ELLE team in Cape Town, where she was later joined by her mother, Tina. Members of the ELLE fashion team were invited to feature in the video for Knowles’s song ‘Losing You’ shot in Cape Town the following weekend. The video, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of the cover shoot, can be viewed on elle.co.za.
