Tranny Model coming out in Givenchy Campaign AdsThis Fall !

Transgendered Brazilian Lea T. being included in the Fall/Winter Campaign Ad for Givenchy marks great triumph for the modeling industry. 25 years ago it would be rare to see minorities on the catwalk or in high fashion magazines. Today there is an increasing amount of diversity in the fashion world-- and now this! I don’t know if this is influenced by the success of RuPaul’s Show “Drag Race”, but I appreciate that Givenchy Designer Riccardo Tisci is including his personal assistant and former fit model .  Lea T.’s delicate features are easily comparable to the other beauties of the campaign, who also appear to have diverse backgrounds.  Riccardo Tisci describes Lea T, formerly known as Leo, as “very feminine, super fragile, and very aristocratic”.  According to Tisci, the inclusion of Lea T. to this campaign compliments the lines “masculine-feminine dichotomy” that Givenchy is famous for and it follows the coed runway that was presented last March. Many people may find these changes controversial or too edgy but really-- you can’t tell the difference. That’s the beauty of it.

What is your opinion on Lea T.?  Can you tell which model is Lea T?
