Blue Man courts controversy with Rio model

FASHION followers have flocked to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where the city’s annual fashion week has earned a reputation for turning models into global sensations.

That would certainly seem to be the case with transsexual model Lea T, who has already gained a lot of attention for her work with the Givenchy label and as a cover girl for Love.

Lea T yesterday starred in her first swimwear campaign, for Blue Man, one of Brazil’s most well-known swim lines. Respected fashion photographer Terry Richardson shot the spring/summer campaign on the beach in Rio.
