Look up the term multitasker in the dictionary and you will undoubtedly find multi-talented powerhouse Solange Knowles' name. Just when you thought the long-winded résumé of the singer/mother/Saint Heron founder wasn't enough, Solange has made the rest of the world look like slackers with the announcement of her second collection as creative director of sportswear brand PUMA.
Fresh off of her wedding day, the songstress barely took a breather before taking to Instagram to release the first photos from the collaboration. After last season's debut "Blaze of Glory" collection, which showcased innovative interpretations of the beloved Disc style, Solange is back again with collaborators Hisham Bharoocha, Gerlan Jeans, and William Okpo for a two-drop collection. Hey, if it ain't broke...
"The two drops that make up this collection couldn't be more different from one another, but the commonality between the two is texture," says the singer. "I really wanted to focus on maximizing different textures to their fullest potential."
The first drop, "Wild Wonder," features three styles that are centered around the iconic PUMA Suede and XT2 styles. The myriad of colors and well-balanced serving of heavy mesh fabrication and contrast soles on each sneaker style is certainly of the eye-catching variety. The second, "Behind the Bazaar," features two styles that will release at OC in December.
"[This experience] has been truly been amazing! I've been able to express so many parts of my artistry that I don't necessarily get to do as much in my realm," says Solange. "I absolutely love art direction, and being able to do that on so many levels during the scope of this collaboration has been super stimulating."
The Puma x Solange "Wild Wonder" collection is available in OC stores and online on Friday, November 28.
