Tyra Banks may have encountered several tumultuous “achievements” in ‘America’s Next Top Model’, but it never ceased to shatter her potential. At least, she was always taken seriously by her Vogue pal: Andre Leon Talley.
It turns out that Tyra Banks eventually made her breakthrough in fashion industry. At a New York City breakfast event, Talley confessed that Banks approached him with an offer. “She wanted me to join her crew and I was like, ‘Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa’, the same way one of those hobos say”, chuckled Talley.
At that point, Banks’s offer was politely refused. She understood and moved on, never failing to struggle for her career. Finally, she made it to the cover of Vogue Italia, with an exclusive article. Talley said that Tyra Banks has worked her As* off to get her cycle on this level. It is a perfect fit for her now and sometimes, it is better to start late than never.
When Tyra was asked about the impact of the Italian Vogue relationship on her, she said, “I just started this show to be for the masses. I normally cast 15 year old girls, who want to be a part of this big industry, who have dreams and they come from where I do. Those girls are ready to dig in harder and come up with something more than just signs of potential for a big career.”
