AMERICAS NEXT TOP MODEL LENOX TV
Aside from being an outspoken advocate for the deaf community, Nyle has walked the runway for Armani, appeared in V Magazine, Attitude, GQ, and Nylon, and also has other acting and TV credits. He’s one of the series’ few winners whose careers actually took off after the show.

In cycle 22, Nyle DiMarco entered the competition as the show’s first deaf model, and despite the significant challenges he faced, Nyle won the season. In America’s Next Top Model’s last few cycles, both male and female models were allowed to compete.

Some former winners have said the fashion world saw them as reality TV stars more than models and never took them seriously. But most of the show’s winners never developed much of a career after being named America’s Next Top Model. Throughout each cycle, models took part in embarrassing challenges, horrible makeovers, and ridiculous photo shoots, all for the promise of a prize package that included a modeling contract and fashion or makeup brand campaign. Over its many cycles, hundreds of aspiring models have auditioned to win a spot on the show and prove to Tyra that they are America’s Next Top Model. However, there have been a few standouts from the series’ 24 seasons (or cycles, as host Tyra Banks calls them) who have established successful careers after the show.

The show quickly developed a reputation for problematic and dangerous photo shoots, but not so much for discovering actual models. Although America’s Next Top Model claimed to be a modeling competition show, very few top models emerged from the series.
