Lea T made headlines a few weeks ago when she was revealed as one of Riccardo Tisci‘s models for Givenchy‘s Fall/Winter 2010 campaign. Lea posed alongside established models Malgosia Bela, Mariacarla Boscano and Catherine McNeil, which would not be unusual, except for the fact the Lea was born originally a boy, and now lives her life as a woman. Tisci’s longtime assistant & former fit model; the reticent Lea (formerly Leandro) granted an exclusive interview to Italian Vanity Fair their June 2010 issue. The 28 year-old Brazilian who lived as a child in Italy and went to art school in Florence (hence the perfect Italian) goes on the record about her experiences. Stunning portraits of the transsexual beauty also appear inside the magazine, photographed by Karel Losenicky. Lea is represented by Women Milan.
