It’s hard to believe an American classic color like khaki (also known as chino) has a military heritage, but its true. Chino cotton, heavy and durable first gained popularity in the early 1900s when U.S. soldiers wore it home from the Spanish-American war. Today, the chino and khaki colors are a staple in many wardrobes. Whether worn as businessor outdoor casual, the original military chino has served us well for over 60 years!

LEA T + VOGUE PARIS

Lea T in French Vogue

Ricardo Tisci’s Fall 2010 Givenchy ad campaign  served up a significant amount of water cooler discussion among the fashion industry. And it wasn’t because the clothes were particularly racy. Rather, it was Tisci’s model casting that was cause for discussion. Alongside Mariacarla Boscono, Malgoisa Bela, and Joan Smalls stood Lea T, the designer’s transgendered former assistant.

Contrary to those who believed the casting of a transgendered model was a gimmick, Lea T. has become a veritable fixture in the fashion world, walking in Givenchy’s haute couture show and posing in last month’s Italian Vanity Fair.
