A stunning photography book that explores the power, rebellion, and
resilience held within the voices of trailblazing Black female
musicians From the author of Supreme Models and Supreme Actresses
comes the third installment of the celebrated series, Supreme
Sirens: Iconic Black Women Who Revolutionized Music. This will be
the first-ever art book to honor the Black female singers and
musicians who dominate the music industry. Supreme Sirens
chronicles the most influential and successful Black
performers--from legendary jazz chanteuse Billie Holiday to the
queen of soul Aretha Franklin and from glamorous girl groups such
as the Supremes to modern, iconic superstars including Beyoncé,
Rihanna, and Janet Jackson. Through exquisite photographs, personal
interviews, short biographies, and career milestones, Reynolds
details how these women's music and careers have become the
soundtrack of our lives. Supreme Sirens shares the power and wisdom
of women who are at the forefront of entertainment; women who have
overcome racial prejudices and redefined contemporary notions of
Black women by breaking glass ceilings and tearing down racial
barriers in the recording studio and on stage and screen.
The first-ever book celebrating black models, filled with revealing
essays, interviews, and stunning photographs To date, there has
never been a book devoted exclusively to black models. Supreme
Models fills that void, paying tribute to black models past and
present: from the first to be featured in catalogs and on magazine
covers, like Iman, Beverly Johnson, and Donyale Luna, to the
supermodels who reigned in the nineties-Tyra Banks and Naomi
Campbell. The book also observes the newest generation of
models-Adwoa Aboah, Jourdan Dunn, and Joan Smalls-who are shaking
up the fashion industry by speaking out about racial prejudice and
becoming social media sensations. Written by celebrity stylist and
journalist Marcellas Reynolds, Supreme Models features more than 70
women from the last 60 years. The book is filled with gorgeous
photographs of the women, and details their most memorable covers,
campaigns, runway shows, and editorials. Black models have been
influencing fashion and pop culture for decades, reshaping the
standards and boundaries of beauty. Supreme Models is a celebration
of their monumental impact.
A comprehensive collection of photographs, interviews, and profiles
of the most influential Black actresses who have worked in film,
television, and theater From the author of Supreme Models comes the
first-ever art book dedicated to celebrating Black actresses and
exploring their experiences in acting. Through stunning
photographs, personal interviews, short biographies, and career
milestones, Supreme Actresses chronicles the most influential Black
actresses who have worked in film, television, and theater. From
Hattie McDaniel, the first actress of color to win an Academy Award
for Best Supporting Actress in 1939, to Dorothy Dandridge, the
first actress of color to be nominated for Best Actress at the
Academy Awards in 1954. And from Ethel Waters, the first African
American actress to be featured on an American sitcom in 1950, to
Cicely Tyson, the first African American star of a TV drama in
1963. The performances by these talented actresses are ingrained
into our memories. We experienced laughter, love, and loss with
these women. But how did they begin their acting careers? Who were
the first Black actresses who paved the way? What are their
defining moments? What effects did racial prejudice have on their
careers? Supreme Actresses remembers and celebrates the
groundbreaking women who have been influencing culture for decades,
reshaping the very standards of beauty in modern society.
