Tastemakers, Solange Knowles

By Jacqueline Davis Moranti

In 2009, there was a bit of a controversy in pop culture. It had to do with a newly "natural" diva, named  Solange! She was the talk of Tinseltown because of her cropped 'do, everyone had something to say and not many were nice comments. Even today, "natural" hair is still frowned upon. I was really pleased that a mainstream celebrity would make such a bold move, most women under the lime light would want to maintain the traditional beauty that society says and portrays to them. This is what really got my attention on Solange Knowles, the fact that she wasn't afraid to be herself and remove herself from what is mainstream. Her hair is of course fabulous but her style has definitely sky rocketed since then, Solange is is the queen of funky pant suits and unique prints! 

          

I truly appreciate anyone who can mix and match patterns like a pro! As well as turn the pantsuit into a fashionable statement! Solange is classy, with flair of bohemian edge, which totally makes her a great candidate for a tastemaker! Let's not forget that not being afraid to be who you are is also a fashion statement.
