To date, there has never
been an art 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 75 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.
