"Tina Knowles" (born "Celestine Ann Beyince" on January 4, 1954) is an American fashion designer for her House of Dereon brand. She is of Louisiana Creole heritage. Perhaps best known as the mother of singer Beyonce Knowles, and Solange Knowles, Tina served as the designer of costumes for Destiny's Child. During the early days of her daughter's career when money was limited, she created outfits that the members wore on-stage and to events. They caught people's attention since they were one-of-a-kind garments. As the group grew more successful and had more access to designer fashions, they relied less on Knowles's work. Inspired by the legacy of Knowles's mother, seamstress Agnez Dereon, she and Beyonce decided to create their own clothing label. The House of Dereon clothing line draws its influences from today's hip hop scene as well as the 1970s fashions Knowles grew up with and the 1940s designs that she saw her mother create.
