Supremes exhibition at V&A

A display of costumes worn by the most successful Motown group of all time, The Supremes, is coming to London. The display at the Victoria & Albert Museum will show the changing image of The Supremes from their early Primettes days right through to the more glamorous, Hollywood-designed outfits they wore at the height of their fame. The exhibition will include dresses worn by all three members - Mary Wilson, Diana Ross and Florence Ballard - from a selection of live performances, television appearances, album covers, and more. As well as the clothes the V&A exhibition will display archive television footage, photographs and magazine articles to help contextualise the impact the band had on America and the world. Also expect to hear news shortly of a special event featuring an appearance by Mary Wilson accompanied by soul scene DJs.
