Solange Knowles Joins the Big Chop Club

Yes ladies - Solange Knowles has shaved it all off and gone natural!

The 23-year-old younger sibling of R'n'B superstar Beyonce is going on 2 weeks with this natural do. The paps photographed her edgy look while she was on her way to take son Juelz, 4, to school.

Solange twitted that she was going through a 'I wanna cut all my Hair off & have a fade (cropped haircut) phase'.She has in the past typically worn hair extensions or the lace-front wigs - where the wig is glued on - also worn by her sister.

In the past she has joked that the constant comparisons to Beyonce might tip her over the edge and send her into a Britney-style meltdown. Regardless of her reasoning she chopped it all off.

I love that Solange isn't afraid to rebel. My only concern is that she should have gotten a shape up. Doesn't she look cute in this pic?

And yes, her Big Chop is recent and it isn't her 1st or 2nd according to her via twitter:

Beyonce and Mom Launch Sasha Fierce

Sasha Fierce isn't just Beyonce's alter ego, its attitude, fashion and lifestyle! According to wwd
Beyoncé and Tina Knowles are looking to capitalize more on Sasha Fierce. Utilizing the name of the singer’s alter ego and third solo album, “I Am…Sasha Fierce,” the mother and daughter design team plans to launch a new junior apparel label, Sasha Fierce for Deréon, for back-to-school selling.

The collection is inspired by Beyoncé’s stage presence and includes a full range of sportswear, outerwear, handbags, footwear, eyewear, lingerie and jewelry. Positioned alongside the company’s Deréon junior label, which is similarly priced, "Sasha Fierce" has so far been picked up by department stores including Macy’s and Dillard’s and specialty stores: Jimmy Jazz and Against All Odds. The collection, Tina said, it's “edgier and trendier and reflects Sasha Fierce’s daring and outgoing attitude.”

The jewelry, shoes and eyewear, she added, “are really over the top” with large chains made in mixed metals such as silver with gold, heavily studded shoes and oversize sunglasses like the ones Beyoncé wears on tour. The clothes are a little more subdued to make the accessories stand out — a one-shoulder dress, black bodysuit, fake leather jacket with oversize collar, leggings and destructed jeans with mesh and lace details lining the ripped material.

“When the tour started, we noticed the definite style of it,” Tina explained. “Thierry Muglerdesigned the clothes for the tour, but we really wanted to celebrate the style and interpret that into a collection.”

Beyoncé, who said in a statement “the line really exudes a different side of my personality, which I am grateful that I can express,” had a lot of say in the creation of the collection, Tina said.

“She definitely tells me what she likes and what she doesn’t. It was her suggestion to line the rips of the jeans with the mesh and lace,” she said. “It makes the jeans look really different from what’s out there.”

Tina said while they launched the Sasha Fierce for Deréon collection to pay homage to the tour, she said they would happily keep it going if customers respond to it at retail.

“We have had tremendous success with our graphic T-shirt business based on the lyrics from Beyoncé’s new CD,” said Philip Davis, president of Deréon’s parent company, Beyond Productions LLC. “We believe the Sasha Fierce collection will enjoy the same success at retail and coincide with the success of Beyoncé’s world tour.”

The collection wholesales from $25 to $75. Davis declined to give first-year sales expectations for the label.
