SOUTH AFRICA - Solange, an American singer-songwriter, actress, model, dancer, and DJ, appeared on the cover of the November 2012 issue of Elle South Africa. 

For the cover image, which was shot by Justin Polkey and styled by ELLE fashion editor Asanda Sizani, Solange was wearing a sleeveless satin top by Tart, high-waisted shorts by Loin Cloth & Ashes and two wrists full of extra large rope bracelets by Pichulik.

Sarah Koopman who wrote the feature for the November issue called interviewing Solange an "incredible experience." 

"We sat in her penthouse at 15 on Orange on the Thursday night and chatted while she had her nails done. It didnt feel like a formal interview at all, and we chatted our way through the points I wanted to cover," said Sarah Koopman. "The sense I got throughout the interview was that she is a real person; a young mom who is doing what she loves."
