I mean if we're talking about legacies
She booked the top 4 Vogue covers before she was 20 and was the first black model ever on 2 of them.
First Black Model to cover "Time" magazine
Part of Time magazines "Top 100 fashion icons of all time".
Part of Vogue' top 100 models and featured on their top 100 covers of all time.
Her vogue italia "black issue" is the only issue to have sold out in record time and the only issue in history to be reprinted just to meet demand.
She has the most Vogue covers to her name 64 covers vs Tyra's 1 (and thats before they started handing them out like cookies)
She's consistently employed. Her pop cultural relevance extends beyond fashion industry nostalgia. She?s an actress, an activist.
Her "Fashion 4 Relief" charity show churns out big names every year across all industries.
She's been formally recognized as an influential figure in fashion
Everytime a dark-skinned model comes put she's automatically compared to Naomi, shes the standard.
I've never heard anyone say wait! She's the next Tyra!

When you have Vogue writing pieces on you that's how you know you are cemented  :dead:

Thank you for writing her autobiography, but is this something that would actually ever be debated  :dead: :uhh: Is there anyone who does not know Naomi shits on Tyra as an accomplished model?

And that's no shade because tyra is gorg, and I don't want to take anything from her success outside of modelling.
But when it comes to success, impact, barries that were broken, influence and long lasting legacies in the fashion industry, Naomi superceded her by miles.
Revered and spoken highly by every fashion house and magazine.
There isn't a fashion house she walked for or magazine she hasn't covered, and that's WW.
Even in pop culture by Michael Jackson, Madonna, Beyonce and George Michael
Even in their prime she was and still is on a different level.

Tyra is the creator of "Topmodel", a franchise that was adapted in to five different continents and dozens of countries. Naomi was a co-judge of a flop rip-off called "The Face".

Tyra had one of the most successful daytime talk shows and in fact served as inspiration for the current number one Wendy Williams. Tyra Banks was the first fashion icon to bring forth the relevance of trans people of color.

Several careers from stereotype defying plus-size, trans and deaf models are attributed to her groundbreaking work.

And on top of that she is number one woman of color to ever run for Victoria's Secret.

Her ever-controversial talk show, ANTM, her work for minority people in media, plus her outstanding modeling career make her the better business woman and the person who left a better mark behind the scenes beyond her name and face.

I mean u rant about Vogue. Tyra IS Vogue. She created her own black owned brand which is copied. She doesn't need white approval. Other countries need TYRA approval.

You can't be vogue when you can't even produce a legit supermodel per season.

Good Jesus. 120 countries created a high end TV production based on TYRA's idea.

You mean the ones that appeared on her show and faded 12 months after?
The wendy williams show? :uhh: :dead:

There are plenty of stories of agencies turning girls AWAY from their agencies because they appeared on the show.
It's like how the voice fails to produce any valid legit suuperstars :dead:
She created a franchise and made a lot of money from it but it's nothing more than a reality TV show.
