A Rising Supermodel: Hanaa Ben Abdesslem

ELLE ARAB WORLD - March 2014 (3 editions)

Springing from revolutionist Tunisia onto Paris’s illustrious catwalks, Hanaa Ben Abdesslem exudes that elusive characteristic known as ‘IT’. She somehow defines everything that fashion relishes: exotic freshness, sinuous form and slightly serious demeanour. Defiantly different, Hanaa has independently shifted the beauty ideals across the Arab world and beyond.

With allure so evocative of the nineties supermodels and particularly reminiscent of the enigmatic Linda Evangelista, She reincarnates the era’s maximalism. Couture has never been worn with such great nonchalance!

Transsexual Model Covers Elle Magazine Brazil Issue

Yes! She’s the man! literally! This beauty is model Lea T looking all pretty in Givenchy for Elle Brazil’s December cover..Only it’s not really a she..She’s a HE!! Or at least, she used to be a he until she began gender reassignment process in 2008! She has been the face of Givenchy since late 2010!

This is the second model of this kind that I know of, after Andrej Pejic! His status is too confusing for me I’m not even sure if he’s a transsexual, yet, this is HIM below 😯

What do you think, freedom of expression, or absolutely appalling?
