Solange Wears The Row
Singer Solange Knowles is known for her melodic voice and cutting lyrics, but she’s also known for her impeccable style. This week while in New York for the 2024 Watermill Gala Benefit she wore a pleated abstract fitting black set designed by The Row, styled by Danielle Goldberg. Goldberg is widely known as Ayo Ediberi’s stylist that has propelled her to become a red carpet darling and street style inspiration. Goldberg let the set be the center of attention with just a simple pair of droplet shaped silver earrings. In hand she held a small black bag with a sleek gold handle.
Puma Taps Salehe Bembury
Footwear designer Salehe Bembury has been selected by Puma Hoops to design its next signature basketball sneaker. The new silhouette won’t be the last project on his list of responsibilities, he will also be helping in recruiting the brand’s next signature athlete. Bembury’s history in design has a long list of accomplishments with many collaborations under his belt, so it’s only natural that this tapping of his expertise has come about. He’ll be bringing his boundary-pushing design approach to the forefront of the brand’s basketball sector.
“My designs are a platform for storytelling and cultivating community; an opportunity to breathe new meaning into a product. While my work has been known to cater to the outdoor space, a space I recently developed an intimate relationship with, my partnership with PUMA Hoops will allow me to tell a more deeply rooted personal story,” said Bembury in a statement, “As a 90’s kid from New York City, I’ve played basketball my whole life and have a deep history, emotion, and nostalgia for the sport. I’m excited to leverage this collaboration as a catalyst to introduce an untold side of me and engage a new community,” he added.
