Tonight on America's Next Top Model, Tyra's final six travel to Italy for the final leg of the competition, which will determine in a few short weeks which of them will win the title and earn a fashion spread in Vogue Italia.

There's no question that this new prize--and the slew of big-name designers and photographers to show up so far this season--lends the show a fresh legitimacy in its 15th season. Also adding to its legitimacy in the fashion world: Vogue Italia editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani will meet the final girls when they get to Madrid, and will ultimately help decide which model will grace the pages of her fashion-forward magazine.

In preparation for that upcoming episode, she sat down with the CW to answer lots of Top Model fan questions about everything from what she thinks of Top Model to her feelings about the modeling industry in general. Check out the two-part video below:





Linda Evangelista the most influential model of the last 25 years? I don't disagree (not that I have the education to make such an assessment in the first place) but I wonder what Tyra thinks about that. I'm sure we all know who Tyra hopes would be at the top of that list.

Franca knows what she's talking about, and she's got a true eye for editorial. I hope she helps Andre, Tyra and Nigel pick the right winner this season! America's Next Top Model goes from six to five tonight at 8pm on the CW. Check out photos from tonight's episode below, and be sure to check back here after for the full recap!
