Solange Knowles is featured in the July 2012 issue of Glamour France. The 25-year-old has always been known for her fashion looks.

On her style:

[My style] is very eclectic because I like taking risks, but always with a glamorous touch and some classic details. I am not obviously inspired by fashion and magazines. I’m surfing blogs a lot because I think it’s cool to see the looks of real people.

My trips influence me as well. I always take a lot of pictures and then I inject all those impressions into my wardrobe or my make-up. And don’t forget the icons: Diana Ross, Erykah Badu, Björk and Lauryn Hill.”

On shopping with Beyonce:

I do 90% of my shopping online and I have contaminated the whole family! From time to time, my sister and I go to Opening Ceremony in New York where we spend hours.”

On how to combine two bold patterns for one winning look:

Colors like violet or pink work very well with animal prints. And you need to keep a harmonic flow, so I try to not mix African and Aztec prints for example.”

On her must-haves for the eyes and lips:

I put on a lot of mascara but above all I use a really flashy lipstick. My favorite color is Rimmel’s Lasting Finish lipstick in Firecracker.”

On if she shops in Paris:

What I prefer is to spend the afternoon at Place des Vosges with a picnic and a book. I also love getting lost in Paris. Last summer I rented an apartment in the 10th arrondissement and I explored all the cool coffee shops and neighborhood bookstores. I feel very safe in Paris: the subway is super easy to use and my son speaks French, so, we always find our way.”

On fashion being a family affair for the Knowles:

We love fashion, but we have very different styles. I must say that we grew up with a seamstress grandmother and my mother started her own collection.”

On new projects she has in store:

I just finished my new album. I spent two years writing it… It’s a new chapter in my life. I’m super excited.”
