When someone told me that Solange Knowles was going to be the DJ for our party tonight at Tiffany, I practically fell out of my chair* : “Hoooow cool is thaaaat! She’s so cool we have to meet her!!! This is the perfect opportunity!”
And that’s how we ended up at her place in Brooklyn yesterday, taking a look through her closet, talking design and music (when she asked me if I wanted her to do a special dedication for me for the party, I didn’t know what to tell her – I feel like I’m about to become a lost cause when it comes to music.) and so it was a totally inspirational trip.
The colors and prints she surrounds herself with (in the picture, she’s wearing Marni pants and a vintage blouse), her haircut, and even the way she does her makeup… I’d been following her on her Damn Blog and she didn’t disappoint!
With that, I’ll stop with the superlatives and let you go. Scott just got back from two weeks and Europe and I’m so happy to be next to him again, finaaaaaallyyyy!!!
I’ll take some photos at the Tiffany party, I promise! Big hugs!

* Yep, seriously… There were screams. There were shouts. I danced around the apartment. And I just about fell out of my chair. And that’s how it goes when I’m super happy. When I’m a little PO’d, I’m calm. Super calm. So yeah, that happens rarely.

oh I didn’t know her blog. What a stylish lady she is! I am sure she must be great as a DJ. Enjoy the party!
Gorgeous picture, Garance. Perfect lighting.
I really love her style and the way she mixes different colors and prints, she’s really original and cool

Son style est complètement décalé et c’est ce qui fait son charme ! Bravo pour le match mix !
Belle journée,

Mais c’est le portrait craché de sa soeur ! On dirait des jumelles ! Mais davantage de douceur se dégage d’elle, peut-être simplement la photo ?!
Quel style et quelle classe ! …Et ta photo lui rend un bel hommage !

Solange est sublime, j’ai eu la chance aussi de la rencontrer l’été dernier à NY… http://www.fut-il.com

I almost fell off MY chair and started screaming (too!) when this post showed up in my Google Reader feed. My favourite blogger doing a feature on one of my favourite personalities. Aaaah… perfection!
I love Solange, I completely understand your excitement.
If she’ll let you please do a feature on her closet, and/or her place. Definitely looking forward to that post from Tiffany’s as well!!!
Quelle classe ! Elle est ravissante :)

Elle est superbe ! quelle classe! :)

Garance au fait, ça n’a rien à voir mais .. que sera d’après toi le pantalon à avoir ce printemps ? ( un peu bizarre la question je te l’accorde ) mais vois tu j’en aie un peu marre de porter des jeans, et j’aimerais mettre autre chose, quelque chose de léger..
et je ne sais pas du tout quoi choisir :/
bises !
Féline dans sa jungle intérieure… Comme j’aimerais voir d’autres photos !
Oh-là-là, je sens que je suis en train de basculer dans un pays de non-retour ! Je commence à aimer, vraiment aimer, les looks élégants et ultra-féminin faits avec un brin d’espièglerie :)) !

Love her understated look and the composition of the photograph.
You take amazing backlit pictures, Garance! Stunning photo!
Solaaaaange! O h mon dieu! J’aime tellement son style “roots”, glamour et chic reconnaissable entre mille. Ses mélanges d’imprimés sont toujours hyper judicieux. Elle a mis du temps à trouver son identité et son style (pas évident quand une soeur superstar j’imagine…). Mais elle l’a trouvé et c’est le bon!
Wow! Garance j’aurai réagi comme toi.
xx
She’s super cool. Didn’t know she had a blog though, thanks for the heads-up! I’m headed over to check it out right now.

She’s so beautiful and quirky. I love all of the prints and her fun hairstyle. Hope you had fun at the event.

Wow la classe! Par contre j’hallucine un peu sur son âge (25 ans WTF?!), elle paraît beaucoup plus mûre (pour ne pas dire vieille hein ;)) avec ce style et son allure, c’est fou! J’adore encore plus du coup.
J’aime beaucoup. Elle a vraiment de la subtilité stylistique. Une vraie élégance.
Thank you for another wonderful post.
Enjoy your night and do dance the night away :)
With your loved one…
Isn’t that what life is all about?
Happy moments like these ones.
Bisous
I LOVE SOLANGE! I’d love to see more pictures if you have them. She just seems like such a real, down to earth beauty who’s pursuing her passion. Very inspirational!
I absolutely worship Solange’s style! I love that she is who she is and doesn’t apologize for it!
We want to see more pics of your meeting!
Pfff elle est si belle :'(

Roooooh that’s what life is all about – going places, meeting new people… Enjoy ;) Gorgeous picture by the way . I wish I could take picture like that! Huuum I should do something about it ;)
She is a cute version of Beyonce (well B. is more than cute, she is a superstar)

Solange and Beyoncé are sisters ? Solange is for sure a diva auntie :-)
and their family dinners must be groovy!!
Tu as quand même oublié l’essentiel: son prénom!
Enfin une Solange cool, la vingtaine et pas française
(oui je partage ce prénom de grand-mère)
Simply stunning. I love this feature! I love her spirit and vibrancy. Please add more women of color: I’m sure you know plenty of gorgeous ones who dress to the nines!
she’s like Beyoncé’s wild side… love her!

Quel beau portrait, très Garance Doré. Mais dis-donc, comment fais-tu pour ne rencontrer que des gens si beaux et parfaits ? Il me faut la recette, et aussi la recette pour devenir si belle (hum…) et parfaite (ya du boulot) ;-)
her face is just like her sister’s. beautiful!

Magnifique ! Je trouve que le charme de Solange est particulièrement mis en valeur par cette photo.

I always been a fan of Solangle, shes a breathe of fresh air. She shows a different and forgotten side of beauty. Shes a great role model for young girls, and she gave me courage to become daring with my own clothes. Wish she would come out with more music. <3
Love her real hair! I’m so sick of weaves and wigs on the sisters!
This photograph is perfect! I love the lighting. She is one stylish lady!

I love the color fo her lipstick.
I really love her look and I am so excited that you were in Brooklyn, my hood. Here’s to finding the greatest fashion and the most fashionable folks in NYC!!!
http://www.greeneggsandglam.blogspot.com
She looks stunning and the photograph is insanely beautiful. My big Q is, who styles her??? and why is such a huge difference from her outfits to Beyonce’s! I am a fashion stylist myself and believe me I get Solange, she is brillianlty put together…she sure knows what she is doing. Have fun at the party.

Elle a toujours des imprimés canon, et moi j’ai hâte de voir la collecgion Marni chez H&M en mars…

Ce n’est pas du Dior mais j’adore quand même.

Solange is style personified. I would love to read more about her and to learn how her style developed.
And her eyebrows are just perfect.
J’aimais mieux quand elle avait les cheveux un peu plus longs mais elle a vraiment la classe !By the way maintenant je cherche tout le temps des flèches sur tes photos, mais en fait il n’y en a qu’une. Garance j’aime ta vie, tu me fais rêver !
Beautiful photo !

Perfection – Solange is just amazing. Love how she is SO different to Beyonce and that she appears to have fun with fashion. Also love that on her Vogue Black interview she said success is measured by how happy she feels and what kind of mother she is. I think she’s great!
mais nous on veut en savoir plus: alors quels sont ses goûts musicaux ?? comment est sa déco? ses beauty tips ? alleeeezz!!! dis-nous tout sur Solange ! Merci ;) xxxx
Solange has a style of her own. She is authentic; I love that about her.
Elle est naturelle, classe, élégante et surtout a remis à l’ordre du jour les imprimés africains sur un style occidental, bref ethnique chic!!

Mais c’est qu’elle est beaucoup trop belle cette photo :)
…semplicemente, Stupenda!
Garance, I must tell you just how much I am enjoying your blog and how much I love your drawings. What you do with a few lines, a wash here and there and a great caption is what great illustration is all about. I’ve been reading Scott’s for a long time but am relatively new to yours. It has been a wonderful surprise to follow your ‘favorite things’ … You are charming and fun and just a wonderful addition to my favorite things!
Bon chance on Monday!
All the best – Ann
J’aime ton blogue, tu as une methode a raconter tres captivante , tu dois ecrire une livre!
