TYRA BANKS TAPS VOGUE’S ANDRE TALLEY FOR ANTM

Tyra Banks is looking to spice things up a bit on her shit show America’s Next Top Model by recruiting Vogue editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley to sit on the judges panel. Back in 2001, Tyra reached out to Andre when she was planning the show, but he declined to participate. Well, things have changed since then as AMTN has become a huge success, so Andre wants in. He tells WWD,

“At that point, I said no because it was the beginning. I was thinking I wanted to see where it goes…I felt maybe (now) I could contribute something to it that had not bee n on the show. I just felt that it was a way to step out of the box and associate myself with a very important American success story, a very important brand – Tyra Banks.”

And Tyra is certain that Andre will make the show an even bigger hit.

She says,

“Andre speaks about fashion and he has such a passion, and the words – the adverbs, the adjectives – he uses! I know it’s going to make the viewer at home go, ‘Wow.’ It might go over their head, but he’s educating them about a time, bringing them back to a place when fashion was life.”

The next season of ANTM begins March 10th.
