“When you are a transsexual, you look for your future, and you can’t see it,” Ms. T. said. “I thought this would be a nice message for another tranny: ‘Look, we can be the same as other girls and boys.’ It’s small, but it makes you feel like you have a little chance. Maybe a transsexual will open a magazine and think: ‘That’s cool. We can be whatever we want.’ That’s why I did the Givenchy campaign.” 

Since appearing in the campaign in May, Lea’s modeling agency, Women, has gotten over 400 requests for interviews.

The Times also cleared up what the “T” in Lea T. stands for: Tisci, as in Givenchy’s Creative Director Riccardo Tisci.

I was happy about this until I saw the cigarette. I don’t know why, but they turn me off so much.

Awesome that there’s a high-profile trans model, though!
