While everyone else is concerned with taking fashion tips from the Wild Wild West, the world's current favorite little sister and style guru Solange Knowles embraces the East in The Ground Magazine Issue 4 editorial. Inspired by the Japanese culture, she poses in modern kimonos and getas, paired with paper fans, floral umbrellas and big belts for props and accessories.
The Ground Magazine Issue 4 editorial was shot in studio by photographer Seiji Fujimori. The afro'd songstress was outfitted in dreamy silhouettes and colorful prints by stylist Nick Nelson. In spite of the theme, the looks are incredibly minimalist. The prints are sparing as well as any other intricate detail customary of the culture's dress code. Hair stylist Chuck Amos and makeup artist Munemi Imai even concentrated on natural beauty.
