Tyra Banks poses as 15 different supermodels

Tyra Banks has undergone a series of drastic transformations to pose as 15 of the world's most famous supermodels including Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss and Claudia Schiffer.

The America's Next Top Model host has donned a brunette wig and a well-placed facial mole to portray Cindy Crawford, and she is seen sporting a baseball cap and a sneer while posing as British newcomer Cara Delevingne.

She has also recreated the looks of Moss and Schiffer, as well as Linda Evangelista, Jerry Hall, Grace Jones, Twiggy and Brooke Shields.

The 15 project was launched in connection with New York Fashion Week this month (Sep13) and the pictures will be exhibited in New York City until November (13).

Banks has been posting some of the images on her Twitter.com feed, and has won the praise of Crawford, who branded the shots "fierce + amazing", adding, "Work it. Love it. Tyra 15."
