Tyra Banks is returning to modelling.
The 36-year-old has gone back to her first agency, IMG, but this time is aligning the firm with her own company, Bankable Enterprises.
"The last time I was with IMG, I was set on taking on the modelling world in the high fashion and commercial sectors. Now I'm dreaming even bigger but this time for my company as well,” the America's Next Top Model host said.
"Aligning myself with brands that I believe in, and helping them achieve the kind of success they're looking for, helps all of us as we grow our businesses."
As part of the new deal, Tyra will participate in commercial endorsements and other fashion related opportunities.
"Tyra is a global brand and we are happy to welcome her back to the IMG family,” IMG's Chairman and CEO Ted Forstmann said
Tyra is also soon to bring out her first novel, Modelland, which she promises will be "inspired by some of the models I've known - both nice and 'ice.' "
