Marrying sumptuous fashion with insightful biography, Supreme
Glamour charts the glittering story of Motown’s most successful
act and original pop fashionistas Supreme Glamour builds a complete
picture of the charm and sophistication of The Supremes. With the
assistance of her close personal friend Mark Bego, founding member
Mary Wilson tells the complete story of the band, both on- and
off-stage, from their beginnings as The Primettes in June 1959 to
their 1964 breakthrough Motown hit, ‘Where Did Our Love Go’,
and from the departure of Diana Ross to the group’s comeback in
the mid-1970s. Bego’s insightful narrative text is packed with
personal ancedotes and reflections from Mary herself, and
accompanied by rare archive photography and ephemera, much of which
is taken from Mary’s personal collection. As Motown’s leading
1960s act, The Supremes have always been synonymous with glamorous,
elegant co-ordinated costumes. Supreme Glamour complements and
extends their inspiring story by interleaving text sections with
the cream of Mary Wilson’s unparalleled collection of Supremes
outfits, showcasing thirty-five of the most eye-catching ensembles,
painstakingly re-assembled and photographed on the Grammy museum
stage. Detailed captions accompany each photograph, providing all
the key information about the design, the fabric, the
embellishments, and the occasion on which each was first worn.
Contemporary photos of The Supremes wearing the outfits bring the
costumes to life.
