‘The “fantascene” is like the fanciest spa you’ve ever gone to,’ Banks described during Good Morning America on Monday.
‘Except for instead of a massage, you get couture hair, make-up, styling, photos to take home that are so amazing. Everybody that comes to ModelLand gets a lookbook.
‘Every time you come back you get a lookbook that you update. It is fantastic and the themes constantly change so you can get a membership and come back all the time because we change that theme, honey.’

Tyra also chatted about her trilingual three-year-old son York with Norwegian photographer Erik Asla, whom she split with in 2017 after five years of dating.
‘My little boy is amazing. Oh my gosh he has changed me,’ Banks – who’s dating Canadian businessman Louis Bélanger-Martin – explained.
‘First of all, he’s a hot mess. He just understands psychology already. I’ll tell him, “If you do that, you can’t play with that car.” He’ll reply, “Mommy, I don’t want that car anymore.”
‘I’m like, “You’re 4. How do you know how to do this already?” It’s insane. It’s crazy. Oh he knows how to “smize” and I’m teaching my son to like all body types.’
