NEWS.- Lea T made history when Riccardo Tisci, Givenchy's creative director, paid attention to her until he ended up making her the first transsexual model of a large fashion firm. That was an immense boost for her career that ended up catapulting when Vogue, which was still directed by the transgressive Carine Roitfeld, showed her naked on its pages. From there the contracts began to rain on him, from the cover of Love kissing Kate Moss to different parades.
But the latest offer Lea received is going to revolutionize the concept of beauty in the world of styling. The Brazilian model will become, starting next January, the face of Redken's Chromatics hair product line. 
His angular features and his spectacular mane will be the model to be followed by women around the world, since the Redken firm is one of the American multinationals with the largest presence in supermarkets and hairdressers. Dozens of countries distribute their products with an investment of millions of dollars in advertising.
It is the first time that a brand with the characteristics of Redken has taken the step of depositing its image in the hands of a transsexual model. Lea is also known for being a great defender of LGTBI rights.
Life seems to finally smile on him, since until recently it hadn't been exactly easy. His birth as Leandro in the bosom of a well-known and very Catholic family from Belo Horizonte caused him endless troubles. To the extent that his father, a former soccer player in Brazil and a national celebrity, even declared that he only had three children instead of four.
We hope that success will be accompanied by Lea's understanding and acceptance in her innermost circle.
