Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum won't be the only 1990s supermodels doing reality TV this summer.

Veronica Webb has sealed a deal to join style guru Tim Gunn for his new Bravo Network series 'Tim Gunn's Guide to Style,' which begins production in New York City this week.

The respected former fashion icon, actress, author and journalist --known by many in the industry as "the intelligent one" -- will serve as a style counterpart to Gunn for the makeover show, which uses his new book 'Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste and Style' as the ultimate manual.

Just to clarify, Webb and the 'Project Runway' personality won't be making anyone over per say. They'll help people make themselves over -- but with tough-love and guidance.

In each episode, Gunn will use his unmatched counseling skills, to turn the fashion weary into polished and dapper-looking individuals.

Webb, on the other hand, will usher style-challenged women on several shopping challenges, while guiding their choices, supporting them and listening to and offering solutions for their concerns. She'll contribute her opinions, share her fashion knowledge, and support Gunn while he focuses on the big picture of each subject's transformation.

Through the Bravo Networks website, users will be able to further utilize the style knowledge gained from the series, with features such as video style tips from fashion experts and a page where viewers can find and purchase outfits to achieve their desired looks.

As one of the world's leading supermodels, the Detroit-born diva graced the covers of 'Vogue,' 'Essence' and 'Elle' magazines and strutted the runway for Victoria's Secret and Chanel. The former Revlon spokesmodel has starred in films such as Spike Lee's 'Jungle Fever,' and 'Malcolm X,' and penned the 1998 tome 'Veronica Webb-Site: Adventures in the Big City.'

"We think Veronica will make the perfect complement to Tim – she'll add a little sass to his class," Bravo's programming chief Frances Berwick said. "She not only brings extensive fashion expertise to the series, but she will be someone for our makeover subjects to lean on, creating a fun, comfortable, yet educational experience that our viewers can learn from."
