Supreme Models: Iconic black women who revolutionised fashion

A new book celebrates the leaders in style past and present

Supreme Models pays tribute to black models past and present: from the first to be featured in catalogues and on magazine covers, such as Iman, Beverly Johnson and Donyale Luna, to the supermodels who reigned in the Nineties, including 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 past 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.
