The Givenchy Fall 2010 campaign features a former assistant of designer Riccardo Tisci, Lea T., which has created a bit of chatter. Lea T. (formerly known as Leo) is a transgendered model whom which Tisci described as "..very feminine: superfragile, very aristocratic." Tisci sees obvious potential in the model, and has this Givenchy Fall 2010 campaign to back him up.
Looking fierce in the featured shots from the Givenchy Fall 2010 campaign, Lea T.'s face is definitely memorable, and we will probably see lots more of her in the future.
