On Brazilian Runways, Transgender Models Are The Norm

The tolerance for transgender women in fashion is particularly striking – Duboc points to Lea T as an example of a Brazilian transgender model who has gone overground, kissing Kate Moss on the cover of LOVE last year, and becoming a muse for Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci. "I'm not sure if it could get any bigger though," she says. This is especially true with Rio making a bid to become the fifth fashion city. "Out of all the fashion weeks we have covered, Rio is one of the most slick," says Duboc. "They want to sell clothes." In a bid to fit into a global idea of beauty, admirable points of difference such as the acceptance of transgender models may get lost in translation.
