Tyra Banks is making a return to the fashion and modeling world as the new face of Karen Millen’s ICONS Series. She joins a long list of iconic models who have fronted the campaign, including Helena Christensen, Paulina Porizkova, Elizabeth Hurley, and Elle Macpherson.
The collection, described as “affordable”, features figure-hugging bodycon dresses and a trench coat, allowing wearers to channel their “inner catwalk”. Tyra, who also served as the creative director for the photoshoot, expressed her excitement about being featured alongside these iconic supermodels.
In a statement, Tyra said, “I am thrilled to be part of the Karen Millen ICONS Series and feel honored to be featured alongside some of the most iconic supermodels in history. It humbles me to call them peers. People are going to channel their inner catwalk in these dynamic pieces as they power-strut down the runways of their world. The collection exudes glam meets luxury, and I love that the price point makes them affordable for everybody everywhere.”
Karen Millen’s brand director, Natasha Hackett, praised Tyra’s radiant charisma, natural beauty, and steadfast diligence, calling her an indisputable icon. The campaign aims to embody the core values of their customers, with female empowerment at its heart.
The Karen Millen ICONS Series Vol. 5 is now available on www.karenmillen.com.
In 2019, Tyra made a comeback to modeling for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue covers. A year later, she admitted to gaining weight and being 30 pounds heavier than she was on a previous swimsuit magazine cover. Tyra explained that she has an interesting relationship with food and it’s one of the most important things in her life.
In a video clip with Harper’s Bazaar, Tyra shared, “A lot of my personal life and the things that I like to do and my hobby is food. Finding new restaurants, doing a challenge where I can’t go to the same restaurant again for six months, finding food festivals. I love a supper club, it is a true, very important thing to me.”
Tyra emphasized that she doesn’t have any regrets about the extra weight she gained, as she enjoys dining out and considers it a hobby. She acknowledged that the weight will come off eventually but not today.
