Taylor, Beckford Strut Supermodel's Runway
Mon., Oct. 22, 2007 3:39 PM PDT by Sarah Hall
Look out, Tyra, Niki Taylor and Tyson Beckford are hopping on the catwalk to oversee America's next top-model series.
The comely duo will serve as the hosts of Bravo's new reality competition series Make Me a Supermodel, scheduled to premiere early next year.
The show, based on a British series by the same name, will feature both men and women competing for the chance to launch their modeling careers and win $100,000.
Over a 12-week period, 14 easy-on-the-eyes hopefuls will live together in a New York City loft while they face various challenges designed to test their potential as professional models.
Unlike the CW's Tyra Banks-fronted America's Next Top Model, where a panel of judges decide who stays and who goes each week, Supermodel results will be determined by viewer voting. Each week, one would-be catwalker will be sent home, until only one contestant remains.
Taylor, who began her runway career when she was 14, remains the youngest model ever to score the cover of Vogue.
Now a mother of two, she owns a clothing boutique in Tennessee and is the founder of the Begin Foundation for the Advancement of Women in Business, an organization that helps women with limited resources realize their aspirations.
Beckford broke onto the modeling scene when he appeared in the 1994 Polo Sport campaign. He subsequently landed a multiyear contract with Ralph Lauren and worked as a spokesmodel for Polo Fragrances and Polo Sport.
When he's not busy posing, Beckford has appeared in films including Zoolander, Into the Blue and Biker Boyz.
