Yeah but Supermodel status also requires major print work. Which she didn’t do except for YSL once.

She may qualify, but BARELY makes it. When you look at how much Claudia, Naomi Eva et all worked Tyra comes far last. Especially if you count their work with the big guys. Tyra maybe made more money, but not having done print for the big houses subtracts a ton of points.

Tyra Banks was not a supermodel. She was a swimsuit model. She did very little print work, mostly Cover Girl. Her biggest career was with VS, and even then she was known more in the US than worldwide. Tyragate.

Can we stop including Tyra Banks in the term supermodel? She was never a supermodel. This is revisionist history.
