10 SOLANGE
WHEN IT COMES to understanding the sense of wonder that comes with getting dressed, Solange Knowles is in a league of her own. “It’s the way that we communicate to people before we even open our mouths,” she has said. Knowles was years ahead of the current Gen Z nostalgia for the aughts, and throughout her career she has traversed style the way a hip-hop producer might thumb through samples. For an example, check the music video for 2019’s “Binz,” in which she cavorts in front of a low-fi camera, as TikTok-paced jump-cuts transport us to increasingly brilliant looks. JEFF IHAZA
