Supreme Glamour

"I first saw The Supremes (Mary Wilson, Diana Ross, Florence Ballard) in concert around 1964 – I wasn’t even a teen then – and remember them actually glittering from the stage. Part of it was their undeniable star power, sure, and that was enhanced by their clothes. Founding Supreme Mary Wilson gives us a luscious look at the original group’s fashion evolution, from the promlike chiffons of the early years through the slinky sequined numbers in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. In addition to each gown’s provenance and composition (was that silk velvet or rayon velvet?), Wilson has generous inclusions of candid and offstage photos. Gift this coffee-table book to your fashionista friend, die-hard fans of the OG Supremes and anyone who misses the elegance embodied by this Motown trio."
