What I like about it is that I believe this is the first ad campaign to feature a transgendered model. I love Givenchy for that. They really do challenge the idea of beauty, using Lea T., and an albino model another season. I believe it's more than just shock value too. I mean, look at their menswear collection!! Men in skirts and floral silk prints? Tisci is making some statements.
That said, in this campaign, I hate the last shot. Awkward!! And the tone of Joan's skin seems really strange in the group shot where she's wearing red. The eyewear shot is beautiful though.
Not really a fav of mine. I don't mind it but doesn't do anything for me.

Also, I like it because it has an east asian male model! That never happens!
