DISCOVERED: Tyson was scouted by an editor from hip-hop magazine
'The Source' in 1991. Through that connection, he
hooked up with a New York agency, and within months,
Beckford was before the lenses of Herb Ritts and Bruce
Weber. It was Weber who first brought the model to
Lauren, who nabbed him for the company's sport,
fragrance and body lines. By 1995, Beckford was on the
covers of major magazines, including Paper and Essence
and multiple-page spreads in Vogue, GQ, the New York
Times and Details.
