Marrying
sumptuous fashion with insightful biography, Supreme Glamour charts the
glittering story of Motown's most successful act and original pop
fashionistasSupreme 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.
