A FRENCH fashion house has caused a stir after announcing its latest stunning supermodel signing used to be a MAN. Brazilian bombshell Lea T was plucked from the backroom staff of posh fashion giant Givenchy to star in its ad campaigns.
The leggy brunette — born a man called Leandro Cerezo — will also soon appear in Italian Vanity Fair and has posed naked for French Vogue.
Lea, 28, is currently having hormone replacement therapy before undergoing a sex change operation.
The beauty said the transformation has meant she has been shunned by her strict Catholic family — including her dad — former Brazil international footballer Toninho Cerezo.
The model said her father "doesn't even like to touch on this matter".
But she has remained positive saying: "The choice is between being unhappy forever or trying to be happy."
Givenchy's creative director, Riccardo Tisci, said of Lea: "She's a true goddess.
"She's always been very feminine - super-fragile, very aristocratic."
Well, we've finally arrived at where fashion has been going for the past 45 years: gay men dressing other gay men who pretend to be women.
Luckily, this means that young girls will no longer aspire to the fashion world since they can never be as tall, as broad-shouldered, as flat-bellied, or have the muscular buttocks of young men. :rolleyes:
