Solange Knowles Covers ELLE Magazine, South Africa, November 2012This may be one of the few rare local covers I have had on the blog. And that is because this is a GENIUS cover. I have tweeted about the SA Elle November cover quite a bit already. But it deserves a proper nod and cap doffing. It is bright. It is sun-shiney. It is so vivid in its message to the browser of the newsstand — 'buy me, I'm jolly and fun and packed full of fashion for summer' it literally and aesthetically shouts. And then there is Solange. Wearing a top by Tart and shorts by Loin Cloth & Ashes and bangles by Pichulik. Right there. Local designers on an international face. Looking perfectly suitable. Done deal. I've bought it. And so will you probably. Excellent job Elle team. PS: Even the Huffington Post named this cover as one of their favourites of the year...
