Keren Wolf is the creative mind behind the jewel on the cover of Solange's brand new album
March 4th, 2019
A few days ago we reported on Solange Knowles's new Black Planet page, a visually pleasant mood board which was just the prelude to the American singer's upcoming album.
When I Get Home was released on Friday night, 19 tracks which see collaborations with the likes of Tyler, The Creator, Metro Boomin, Pharrell, Playboi Carti, along with a short film that retraces the aesthetic of the mood board, a unique mix of cowboys, Texan landscape and Black pride. What caught the attention of many, though, was the image on the cover of the album, portraying Solange wearing a rather peculiar jewel, which covers the eyelids and leans on the nose.
The creative mind behind this piece is Keren Wolf, a former Israeli actress turned jewellery designer, specialized in the design of accessories for Bridal and Haute Couture collections. Wolf usually collaborates with the biggest fashion houses in the world on the jewels of the shows. The eyelid piece worn by Solange, in fact, first appeared during the Galia Lahav FW18 Haute Couture show, as well as the mask similar to a metallic fishnet with crystals flaunted by Solange in another shot.
Keren Wolf has collaborated also with Marc Jacobs in the creation of the lip accessories - Wolf's signature piece - of the SS19 collection of the American designer. Moreover, Wolf has designed the crown worn by Nicki Minaj during her recent tour, as well as the headpiece sported by Priyanka Chopra in the video for the Jonas Brothers reunion.
