The Story of The Supremes from the Mary Wilson Collection
November 08 - 31 January 09

An exhibition of performance costumes worn by The Supremes, one of the most successful groups of the sixties - only the Beatles had more number one hits.

The exhibition will show the changing image of The Supremes from the early days when they were known as The Primettes to the glamorous Hollywood designs they wore at the height of their fame, and look at their continuing stylistic influence on performers such as Beyoncé.

The exhibition will include dresses worn by Mary Wilson, Diana Ross and Florence Ballard for live performances, television appearances and on album covers. Original television footage, photographs and magazine spreads will examine The Supremes as the stars of Motown Records whose highly visible success story helped change racial perceptions during the time of the American Civil Rights movement.

Part of the V&A's programme for its Theatre and Performance collections.
Originated by Mary Wilson with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum of Cleveland.
