The singer-songwriter and visual artist will be honored for her contributions to fashion and music. 

Last year, Solange Knowles brought home several awards, from the Grammys to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bbfx5WUhi5S/?hl=en&amp;taken-by=saintrecords">Glamour&#39;s</a> Woman of the Year. While awards season is coming to an end, Knowles still manages to get new ones&nbsp;lined up. The New School&#39;s Parsons School of Design <a href="http://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-scoops/solange-knowles-to-be-honored-by-parsons-1202632507/">announced</a> that she will be honored&nbsp;at the school&#39;s annual benefit on May 21 in New York. Other honorees include&nbsp;Gucci&#39;s CEO, Marco Bizzari, and Farfetch&#39;s founder, Jose Neves. This honor comes&nbsp;after she was named <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bf4uQ9Ilu9Z/?hl=en&amp;taken-by=saintrecords">&quot;Artist of the Year&quot;</a> by another prestigious institution, Harvard University.&nbsp;

Executive Dean&nbsp;of Parsons Joel Towers told WWD, that the 31-year-old singer is chosen &ldquo;for her notable contributions to the music and fashion industries.&quot; Her contributions since her album&#39;s release,&nbsp;go beyond singing&nbsp;at the <a href="https://pitchfork.com/news/70699-obamas-farewell-party-chance-solange-mccartney-springsteen-attend/">White House</a> for Obama. She even&nbsp;took over the <a href="http://time.com/4786319/solange-guggenheim-performance/">Guggenheim</a> museum for a&nbsp;very artsy performance titled &quot;An Ode To&quot; (no phones were allowed during her secret performance). And now it&#39;s time&nbsp;for everyone else&nbsp;to give an ode to her.
