Tyra Banks Returns to High Fashion

Despite her successful television career, Tyra Banks has caught the modeling bug and is returning to her past career.

The 36-year-old has gone back to her first agency, IMG, but this time is aligning the firm with her own company, Bankable Enterprises. The America’s Next Top Model host said, “The last time I was with IMG, I was set on taking on the modeling world in the high fashion and commercial sectors. Now I’m dreaming even bigger but this time for my company as well. Aligning myself with brands that I believe in, and helping them achieve the kind of success they’re looking for, helps all of us as we grow our businesses.”

As part of the new deal, Tyra will participate in commercial endorsements and other fashion related opportunities. IMG’s Chairman and CEO Ted Forstmann added, “Tyra is a global brand and we are happy to welcome her back to the IMG family.”

Tyra is also soon to bring out her first novel, Modelland, which she promises will be “inspired by some of the models I’ve known - both nice and ‘ice.’”

Quote of the Day: Andre Leon Talley on Capes

“So, when I went to America’s Next Top Model, and I wasn’t as thin as some people want me to be, I said to Ralph [Rucci], you’ve got to come up with a fabulous idea, and I wanted a pop of color because it’s TV, and on TV you can’t wear the same thing over and over—you’ve got to have a different outfit every week.”
