The new 'W' has a a fun article on Riccardo Tisci, Givenchy’s 36-year-old artistic director. It talks a lot about his life and centers on his use of androgynous or gender fluid inspiration and style. Specifically it mentions LEA T his transgendered assistant and model who appeared in the Fall runway shows and add campaign.
There has been much attention on Lea T since then. A long time friend of Tisci she says, "I met Riccardo Tisci who had just graduated from Central St Martins. Little by little, we became friends. One night, he encouraged me to wear heels to a party. We went shopping for these drag queen high heels and bleached my eyebrows. It was a revelation." Aww, sort of cure. Lea is 28, has lived full time for awhile and is considering having SRS surgery soon.
Here are is a link to the W article about Tisci.
