Supermodel Tyra Banks has embraced a new chapter, establishing her ice cream company, Smize and Dream, in Sydney, Australia. Initially drawn to the country for business and later for its lifestyle, Banks found her venture's production in Melbourne necessitated frequent travel. The unique purity of Australian milk even prompted her to reformulate her signature ice cream recipes.
Banks, along with her partner and son, ultimately decided to make Sydney their home. Smize and Dream, which opened in June, quickly gained popularity for its distinctive products, including hot ice cream and a 'hidden smize surprise' in every tub. Banks has been hands-on, managing every facet of the startup.
Recently, Banks surprised attendees at a Sydney pub by performing as her alter ego, Santa SMiZE, promoting her festive ice cream track. Despite the public's bewilderment, Banks asserts that Australia has provided her with an unexpected sense of belonging and happiness.
