Solange merges fashion and politics
Fashion week became oddly political this year, and no one knew it better than rising star Solange Knowles. You might have seen big sis Beyonce rock out the Obama Tee, but Solange rocked hard at Seventeen Magazine’s Fashion Week "Rock-N-Style party.
The reason why Solange stole the show (besides her killer structured mini dress) was most certainly her pumped up performance that got everyone jumping and waving. And after her song, as she was leaving the stage she threw out a little, “I’m not supposed to tell you who to vote for, but I'm just going to leave you with one thing...OBAMA!” she screamed with a kiss and a wave into the audience. It certainly got the crowd all riled up.
CGG caught up with Solange on the red-carpet and asked her about why dedicated her Fashion Rocks performance to Obama:
“At the beginning before I even sang, I said, 'Fashion Rocks, I’ve decided for Change.' And I feel like if there’s any way to express yourself, it’s through fashion. And the fact that it’s merging with politics is great.”
