Solange Shares Her Style Secret in London’s Evening Standard — Good Sex!
Solange is back with yet another fabulous fashion spread and this time she’s channeling the ’60s.
The singer/actress/world-traveler has stepped beyond her big sister’s shadow to make a name for herself in the fashion world, and from the looks of things, she doesn’t appear to be slowing down.
Since chopping off her hair and rocking a TWA, Solange has showcased her eclectic style from Brooklyn to Cape Town, and has snagged fashion spreads and glossy covers for the past year.
Although she’s got the world’s top designers on call and could probably write her own ticket in the world of haute couture, the 25-year-old says she ready to hit the stage and sing again. But this time, on her own terms.
When asked why she wasn’t signed to a major label, Solange’s answer was simple: she didn’t need to be.
“I don’t think there’s a need if you are able to fund it yourself and have a strong sense of development as an artist. It means you aren’t dependent on some A&R dude to position you with writers or producers or figure out your next direction.”
Unlike her sister, Solange’s personality is as brash and bold as her clothes. So, where does her confidence come from? Loving yourself…and getting some.
“There’s a lot of sexual vibes on it,” Solange explains about her new album. “I think I just finally started having good sex. This woman came up to me the other day and said, ‘You know, I think people dress a lot better when they’re in love with themselves, with other people, or with where their life is’”
We agree.

I know you did not address this to me, but it kind of hits at what James mentioned above. She’s a part of that instagram culture and we are experiencing the instagram effect–trying to achieve a look that is not genuine. Sure, we can all be contrived but these days, there seems to be a movement behind it.
I’m not saying that she is not genuine. I don’t know her like that. But she does subscribe to the disingenuous force behind her image.
+1
Also, it’s just her whole new persona… living in a brooklyn brownstone, sending her kid to public school, the dj gigs, pretending to truly be a part of that whole lifestyle for cool points but not truly being a part of it.
I kind of agree as well. I remember her tweets from last summer recorded that she was somewhere in California, making fresh guacamole, picking oranges, and recording in the studio with her free spirited friends.
She has this contrived image of a person who is trying so hard to be somewhat retro and cool. She also said she had struggled with the fear of death for a long time…obviously, she’s bothered by something and all of this might be a facade to hide some inner turmoil.
I thought I was the only one who got that vibe, sometimes she does seem contrive because it seems she is only getting recognition now because she is the “Anti-Beyonce” persona because before people always compared her to her sister before she did the 180
I feel you all on this. My opinion shifted to one similar when i saw videos of her DJing a few events. Its bizarre that she appears so “alternative” ( and thats cool) but yet her musical sensibilities are very pedestrian, and consistently so. That had me wondering.
I’m liking her in the fashion world. I don’t think she is the greatest singer, even though I know that’s where her passion lies. I hope her new album turns out well for her.
