Supreme Glamour

Description:

Sumptuously illustrated, engaging, and insightful, Mary Wilson’s book charts the glittering story of The Supremes, as it showcases their glamorous and iconic ensembles.

As Motown’s leading act in the 1960s, The Supremes became synonymous with glamorous, elegant, coordinated ensembles. Supreme Glamour presents founding member Mary Wilson’s unparalleled collection, showcasing thirty-two of the group’s most eye-catching gowns, meticulously reassembled and photographed on the Grammy Museum stage. Detailed captions accompany each photograph, providing information about the design, fabric, and embellishments of each ensemble, as well as the occasion on which each was first worn.

In addition to the fashion history of The Supremes, the book chronicles the evolution of the group and celebrates the cultural icons they became. Engaging and insightful narrative text by Mary Wilson and close personal friend Mark Bego is interspersed among hundreds of archival photos. Packed with anecdotes and insights, Mary Wilson tells the complete story of The Supremes, both on- and off- stage, from their founding in Detroit in 1959 as The Primettes to their 1964 breakthrough hit, “Where Did Our Love Go,” and from the departure of Diana Ross to The Supremes’ disco hits of the 1970s. Supreme Glamour builds a complete picture of the charm, sophistication, and magic of The Supremes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Supreme Glamour is a exciting Celebration of the Supremes

D.G. · September 21, 2019

This book is a such a treasure. Inside these pages are pictures of the beautiful Supremes and their glamorous gowns. The talented and gorgeous Supreme Mary Wilson with Mark Bego has done some great work on this book. I love the packaging of this book. It is a big hardcover book full of colorful photos. The photographs of the gowns are outstanding and breathtaking. The details of the story on the gowns are very interesting. In the text Mary tells the story of the Supremes. Mary’s experience as a Supreme is exciting and inspirational. Supremes founding member Mary Wilson has documented the Supremes legacy very well in this book. I highly recommend this book. I can not put it down. Thank You Mary Wilson! Donnell Graves.

The Supremes, apart from their familiar hit records, were known for their Glamour, with a capital G. This magnificent tome by talented Supreme Mary Wilson chronicles the evolution of Supreme Glamour throughout the years and it does it with class and style. The color photographs of each gown are stunning with close ups of the fabrics and designs so that you can really appreciate the beauty and the work that went into it. Remarkable! But this book is not only about fashions, sequins, and embroidery. You also get The Supremes story told by co-funder Miss Wilson in her usual direct often candid way. I am proud to own Supreme Glamour and have purchased several copies as gifts to family and friends.

M.D. · October 14, 2019

Diana Ross, Mary Wilson & Florence Ballard gave us great music and fashion. Here the book is about just that. A book full of photos of some of the gowns they wore. The photos are great, some close up to see the work and details. I had the pleasure of seeing them wear some of the gowns. One word magic. It's all here in this nice book to look at over and over again. Thanks to these three ladies.

Love love this bookThe pictures are divine and the explanation re who designed the clothing and when they were worn add to the overall enjoyment of the bookYou will not be disappointed in this book as it’s a wonderful slice of music and fashion history all combined into one great coffee table book

Beautiful book and great service from Amazon

c. · April 1, 2021

Speedy delivery of a beautifully put-together book. The text is not too revelatory (Mary Wilson's other books cover that well), but the purpose of the book is clearly to portray the style of the Supremes, hence the five stars. There are good photos of the group in other situations, many of which I had never seen (and I have pretty well every book on them that exists). Impressive achievement. Rest in peace, Mary -- thank you for this effort, and for being so open and gracious when we met and talked at length after your 2012 Berlin concert with Bill Wyman. You were a class act and a star the likes of which is a rarity today.
