The first-ever book celebrating black models, filled with revealing essays, interviews, and stunning photographs




To date, there has never been a 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 60 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.
