Solange Knowles At Home
Photo: Paul Costello
Solange Knowles shared her home with Elle Magazine in August 2012. The trend-setting style darling is known for wearing bold prints, patterns and color. I was looking forward to seeing how her personal style transition into her personal space. Her Brooklyn home has a fresh and is surprisingly more neutral than I expected. White walls, wood floors and accents, pops of textures. But she makes up for her white walls with art work by Malick Sidibé. Sidibé's photograph titled Nuit de Noel hangs in the dining room. The artist is also a fan favorite of actress Hilary Swank, whose Manhattan home was featured in Elle Decor with Sidibé's Nuit de Noel hanging in her entry way.

Solange's home also includes artwork from local art fair finds. I'm glad to she her showcasing and support emerging artists. But I do wish we could have had a peak into her fabulous closet, maybe next time!

I look forward to more accounts on her home as she builds her art collection and interior space.

"My work, like my eye, is certainly international in its aesthetic, offbeat yet focused. As such, I am always open to the surprise of the new, the technique and skill of the past and the ability of fashion and art to challenge preconceived ideas of taste and culture." - Duro Olowu
The combination of his Jamaican-Nigerian heritage and London upbringing contribute to his eclectic look that ignores preset boundaries of culture, geography and taste. Duro is also married to Thelma Golden, Director and Chief Curator at The Studio Museum in Harlem.

I loved this show! The colors, textures, and prints of his designs against the backdrop of an assemblage of objects was like an amazing real-life inspiration board! Duro's collection of "material" culture highlights how much the world of art and design depend on each other.
