yeah, she's the ultimate black models of the 00's, just like Tyra in the 90's and Iman in the 80's



btw, here some vids of the High Fashion era of Tyra Banks, she was everywhere in 1993 shows

Ralph Lauren 1993 - Tyra with Christy Turlington, Karen Mulder and Carla Bruni



Hervé Leger 1993 with all the Supers!



Todd Oldham 1993

Eh!!..Naomi was only black model that defined that era and still continues to do so to this day. But let's not go into that debate

Tyra looked great at Herve Leger

Hey you!!
Glad ya like the avatar. It's kinda funny to see Tyra fans make the most ridiculous claims ....Everyone knows that Naomi's got the track record to prove her sheer brilliance

Tyra looked great at Herve Leger

everyone? speak for yourself in my opinion I could say that everyone knows that Tyra is more icon than Naomi. B)

 

[simplylovely]

wow, I missed that cover Tyra Banks and Iman, the biggest black models of all time together!

Iman yes, Tyra banks....I think Not!

 

[OMIFAN9]

^Actually you know its all a good laugh with even more eyerolling,jokes!

 

[J'ador-DioR]

Sure....that's why she only has a Sports Illustrated and an Elle cover by Bensimon to her name
