Despite our excitement that Whitney Thompson won the latest Top Model crown, there’s no doubt that the show is getting more boring by the season - not quite Hills boring, but almost…

So it was interesting to hear Tyra Banks admit in her recent interview with The New York Times that she, too, was bored of the show -

Namely the contestants, who “only want to be famous.”

Well shit, Tyra, we could have told you that by Cycle Four.

Tyra promises in the article that upcoming seasons of Top Model will test and weigh the contestant’s knowledge of fashion and potential for industry viability above all else.

We’ll believe it when we see it - and when she lowers the show’s age requirement from 18 to 15.

We all know Miuccia Prada is really into art and Rem Koolhaas, and now she’s bringing her two loves even closer together in her hometown.

The Prada Foundation just bought an exhibition space in the south of Milan to be turned into a museum, (design by Prada-stores architect Koolhaas), within the next three or four years.

There’s going to be a full story on it in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine, in which Miuccia explains that, “art is more or less [her] second career.”

The space is meant to be not just a museum, but a “cultural center” with room for Miuccia’s “collection” to be on view.

Could this be the future venue for Prada AW12? (God that looks weird.)

Maybe Sasha can donate some of her drawings, then it would really be an art/fashion collision…
