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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Supreme Models: Iconic Black Women Who Revolutionized Fashion...will mark another day in the history of black fashion as these revered black models finally get a book solely of their own."

, As If Magazine

“[Supreme Models]…takes readers on a visual and educational tour of statuesque women of color who broke social norms to grace covers of the creme de la creme of fashion magazines and changed the way black women are perceived in the modeling/fashion industry.”

, Chicago Tribune

“Supreme Models features photos, essays and magazine covers of fierce black females such as Naomi Campbell, Iman and Veronica Webb. . . . Supreme Models is as historical as it is visual. From the first black supermodel to the first black model on the covers of Glamour and Life magazines, the women featured exhibit true model behavior.”

, GMA online

"Considering that famous black models are still being misidentified in photos, this tribute to black models from the past 60 years couldn’t come sooner."

, New York Times

"Supreme Models is a tribute to these models’ careers through a dazzling compilation of magazine covers, ad campaigns, runway shows, and editorial shoots."

-- Fortune magazine

This belongs on your coffee table. Full stop.

This is an amazing book and well written. I always longed to see faces that looked like mine on magazine covers and to have all of these iconic black models in one book is validating of our beauty, our magic and our impact. I’ve never had a book like this and I’m excited for people to flip through it on my coffee table! Young women are so lucky to be able to have access to this book. It literally can change the way a young black woman sees herself. There are faces I recognized, but didn’t know the names or stories of. It’s a delight!

Supreme Models is a book supremely done!

October 8, 2019

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book is timely, important, and beautiful! While representation has improved, we still live in a time when people of color and a certain size aren’t visible in mainstream media. These women broke down barriers, improved visibility, and showed entire generations a wider spectrum of what beauty could be (And is). Marcellas has always been a great storyteller through fashion, and this book demonstrates he can tell a great story with his words too. It’s a beautiful coffee table book, yes... but it’s a really great read too!
