Tyra Banks in New York Times Magazine, June 2008
Tyra Banks covers the upcoming issue of New York Times Magazine. Among other things, the profile will cover Tyra's "275 smiles from 'angry but still smiling' to 'flirting with boyfriend.'"
Banks talks about her early modeling days, relating how her agency made a list titled, ''designers who will not book Tyra because of hips and breasts." But now Banks appears more concerned with her role as a brand: "Like her hero, Martha Stewart, Banks wants, most of all, for her name to immediately suggest a distinct point of view,", according to New York Times staff writer Lynn Hirschberg.
