Model Aunt: Solange Knowles Signs With Next

Beyoncé isn't the only Knowles sister with big news this week. Solange, the star's younger sister (and new Aunt to baby Blue!), was just signed by Next Models.

A regular fixture on the downtown party circuit, the talented D.J. has previous experience in the fashion world. She's been the face of Rimmel, Armani jeans and her family's brand, House of Deréon.

"Artistic expression is invaluable to me in all walks of my career and I am so excited to continue to develop this path along with such an amazing team at Next Model Management," Solange told Vogue UK. "I feel right at home working with people who have worked beside such creative forces in the world."

We've been longtime admirers of the musician's adventurous style and are so happy to see her step further into the spotlight. Now that she's inked a contract, what campaigns do you hope she will book? Opening Ceremony? Miu Miu? Let us know in the comments below!
