Wanda Prince: Got for my coffee table it nice

RiaRia: Worth it for Naomi Campbell, Beverly Johnson, Pat Cleveland and the always amazing Grace Jones! I immediately ordered an additional copy and sent it to a friend before I even finished looking through mine. This book would sell even more if they listed names of the models in the description. The photos are beautiful and it also tells their stories. Nicely done! This is also a large sized book. OMG, I just landed on Anok Yai! If you know anyone into fashion this is a must as a gift. Iman y'all....it's a little larger than a standard pocket folder in size.

RubyRuby: Arrived in protective plastic covering. A beautiful hardcover book perfect for the coffee table and any beauty and fashion lover! Mostly one double page per model. A few models have extra pages with interviews and/or a bit of backstory about them and extra photos. Had my eye on this book for ages and am so happy I bought it - so many beautiful black women in the world of modelling to adore! LOVE it.

Meldabird: I gifted this book to my young niece who lives in another country where this book would not be available. She poses like a model in her pictures and I knew she would like this book. Most of all, I thought it was important that she saw girls who looked like her. I briefly looked at the book before I sent it and it really is impressive. Every Black model under the sun is in this book, some of them I have never even heard of. It truly is a lovely book and I would recommend to aspiring models, fashionistas or anyone interested in this particular industry.

June ReidJune Reid: I loved the boldness of the front cover. The colors are majestic and serve as a perfect backdrop to showcase the model in all her Black splendor.

C G Forsythe: Absolutely beautiful. Women of color have, until somewhat recently, definitely been vastly overlooked and discounted in the world of fashion/design/modeling. "Supreme Models" highlights not just the more well-known WOC models but also the early trailblazers. It also provides a concise history of those involved in the industry in a manner that is great for those with simply an interest in the subject as well as those with a greater knowledge of it. Great book!!!

reviewsbydc: I've been circling this book for a while. I'm a photographer in Philadelphia and having a book showcasing the contribution of Black models to the fashion world is a must have. If you're a model, you should have this. However, the images are beautiful, it is a little lean on text when it comes to certain models. This does make this book an excellent starting point in learning about Black models beyond Tyra, Naomi, Iman and Beverly Johnson. Pick this up and begin your journey.
