5.0 out of 5 stars Supreme Glamour is a exciting Celebration of the Supremes
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars VISUALLY STUNNING!
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars I BOUGHT A SIGNED COPY FOR A VERY CHEAP PRICE> MARY WILSON SPENT MPORE THAN $100,000 to assemple
FOR A VERY CHEAP PRICE> MARY WILSON SPENT MPORE THAN $100,000 to assemble this collection of Supremes Gowns Dress's and outfits; Back in 2006, I met her in Vermont. IF YOU LOVE THE SUPREMES OR MOTOWN MUSIC LOOK AT HER WEBSITE and go see her. The Last time I saw her she was touring with Martha Reeves as in Martha Reeves and the Vandella's. Mary at age 70 plus, Is lovely She lets audience members come up on stage during STOP IN THE NAME OF LOVE.She was so friendly and kind. She comes out to lobby and GLADLY signed your records your photos. And she posses for photos with fans. This Book is a project of love. ONLY MARY kept the Supremes going until finally 2 minutes away from being Disco Stars she finally pulls the plug. She and Diana are now at peace. She has been slowly buying up as many sets of 3 matching Gowns sets. as she possibly could. Sometimes she could only buy 1 of the three.From 1964 to 1977 The Supremes wore MANY HUNDREDS of outfits. This book is of the Outfits. The Supremes collection Mary compiled. tours the country and I suppose outside the country she was given an AWARD for excellence.I contributed $40 to her goal. I was actually supposed to See her and THE FOUR TOPS on April 11th, 2019 but COVID canceled. It and no I did not get my money back. YET/ Mary stayed in the lobby signing and taking photos with fans LONG AFTER the intermission she stayed the entire time Martha was on stage.
5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Pictures and Great History.
I know this group was before my time, but I am still a huge fan of Motown! This book is a must for any Supremes fan, and Mary Wilson did a wonderful job with this book. I thought it was going to be just pictures of 0f their gowns and dresses, but it had some very interesting stories too. Definitely a must for you coffee table!
5.0 out of 5 stars Supreme Supremes
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Supremely Wonderful
Supreme Glamour is a wonderful and beautiful coffee table book focusing on the gowns and style of the iconic group, the Supremes. Mary Wilson has also added much historical and informational text to supplement the beautiful photography. Highly recommend if you like Miss Wilson, the Supremes, Motown,fashion, music. Well worth the price.
5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book
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
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.
