Transsexual Model Lea T First Runway Show at Sao Paulo

January 30, 2011 04:50 PM EST

Transsexual model Lea T. took her first turn on the runway. Which designer did she walk for? Somewhat surprisingly it wasn’t for Givenchy.

Lea T.’s first turn on the catwalk was for Alexandre Herchcovitch. She walked in the Fall/Winter 2011/2012 show in a long, black dress with ornately adorned sleeves during the Sao Paulo Fashion Week in Brazil.

The native Brazilian had all eyes on her as she debuted on the runway. There is no doubt that the transsexual model is a brand new star of the runway. She walked with some of the biggest names in fashion, and she shined.

It is great that the transsexual model Lea T. is having such success at something she is obviously so passionate about. This is surely the first of many runway shows for her. She is likely to have designers knocking down her door to get her to model their latest creations.

What do you think of the pictures of her that are coming out of Sao Paulo? She looks simply amazing!
