Finally, A Bit More Clarity on Tyra Banks's Upcoming Modelland Experience… Center
Latest

Earlier this year, Tyra Banks announced Modelland, a forthcoming… thing. It’s a place but also “a movement,” and a “multi-level ticketed attraction” yet “a place to feel emotion.” Banks promised “a place where the modeling world meets fantasy, meets entertainment, meets technology, meets retail, meets dining, meets … your fiercest best self you could ever imagine.” It sounds like a mall that you have to pay to get into and is populated with people insincerely complimenting you on your modeling potential? It’s very confusing. It’s set to open in Santa Monica later this year.
In a new interview with Wall Street Journal, Banks shed slightly more light on this synthetic environment where everyone is a model (which clearly means that no one is). In addition to all the things Banks has says Modelland is (without really explaining what this thing is), it is now “my baby that hasn’t been born yet but she is due at the end of this year.”
