Solange Knowles For ELLE South Africa

The fabulous Solange Knowles will be featured in the November issue of ELLE Magazine South Africa in a stunning editorial shot by renowned photographer Justin Polkey. The editorial will seriously blow our minds and I've got my fingers crossed that she will be on the coveted cover. Kudos to ELLE South Africa on the fashionable coupe.

What's Haute Now: Singer Lianne La Havas for InStyle UK August 2012

I've seen most of the September issues of fashion magazines...bleh! Nothing spectacular, except for Janelle's new ad campaign for Cover Girl Cosmetics and I also spotted Solange in an ad in VOGUE'S humongous September issue.

Any way, I was checking out InStyle U.K. which I'm glad I did take a look inside because I saw this gorgeous spread featuring one of my new favorite artists, singer Liane La Havas in a gorgeous pictorial shot by Damon Baker and styled by Natalie Hartley. Liane has had quite a few pictorials as of lately and I couldn't be more prouder of this beautiful songbird.

Britain does have major talent, but for some folks we wouldn't even know it because they never hardly ever write about them because they're too busy chasing several no talent Americans.

Congratulations!

Grande Dame:Jeneil Williams for Elle Magazine September 2012 by Horst Diekgerdes

I stated in an earlier post about Elle Magazine's fabulous September issue which featured Solange at her lovely Brooklyn brownstone and Jeneil Williams in a spectacular fashion editorial. Here are more photos from her editorial featuring looks from Prada to Oscar de la Renta, and is photographed by Horst Diekgerdes.

I tried to wait to see if someone would post the editorial but models.com only posted three, so I took photos of the editorial from my own magazine. They're not the best, but you can see what you need to. I don't do digital issues (I tried) and nor do I tear up my magazines to scan them.

Stylist Lester Garcia's impeccable attention to detail created ensembles with just the right amount of accessories that didn't overpower anything that Jeneil wore. Jeneil's beautiful, richly hued skin created the perfect canvas for makeup artist Maki Riyoke to create jewel toned wisps of color on her flawless skin.

I love this one her in this trapeze dress from Oscar de la Renta F/W 2012.

The three photos above are from Models.com/Horst Diekgerdes.
All the rest were edited by Divalocity.

Solange Knowles For the September Issue of Elle Magazine and Madewell's F/W 2012 Campaign

The September issues are coming out and as usual, they're heavier than ever with several new ad campaigns, fall advertisements and editorials. I have yet to see Vogue's, but Elle Magazine didn't disappoint with stunning editorial's featuring Jeneil Williams and several other models and a cool editorial featuring Solange at her Brooklyn home. 

After posting these photos, I guarantee that the actual ones shot for the magazine will be posted right after these.


Solange's home certainly is a total reflection of her.
 

I must say Solange is literally on a roll, especially since she is the new face of Madewell's FW 2012-13 Ad Campign which has every one buzzing.

Looks like it will be a great collection so check it out at Madewell.com for more info.
