Scene and Heard

May 10, 2010

Givenchy is making headlines for its use of a transsexual model in its latest campaign (second from right).

Designer Riccardo Tisci apparently made the call, casting his longtime personal assistant Lea T., previously known as Leo.

Not to be lost in this however, are the two Canadian models that also landed the campaign.

On the far left is Mode's Simon Nessman, while Elmer Olsen's Paolo appears far right.
