Fashion photographer Terry Richardson teams up with Riccardo Tisci's assistant-turned-model Lea T in Rio for Blue Man's Spring/Summer 2012 ad campaign. Although Lea has modeled nude and for Givenchy, this marks her first swimsuit shoot. While the bathing suits themselves aren't much to get excited over, Lea looks great! Check out more behind the scenes photos after the jump -- rumor has it that the gay kiss seen on the beach will appear in the ad campaign.

Kate Moss, Lea T Round Off Last Love Covers

Riccardo Tisci's former assistant-turned-model Lea T snagged a second of five alternate covers of Love's Androgynous Issue -- the first of which she is photographed kissing Kate Moss -- only this time, she poses solo.

Photographed by Mert and Marcus, Lea's strong -- yet beautiful -- features arrest the viewer, as she stands centered in a vulnerable position. Powerful, no doubt, I wonder if the obnoxious words "This is Hardcore" really needed plastering in the middle of the image.

While many doubted the 28 year-old's place in Tisci's Givenchy ads -- pointing to her transgender story that stole fashion headlines and a revealing Vogue Paris editorial -- I think that this Love cover cements her place in the industry.

Kate's cover, on the other hand, is not so flattering (seen after the jump). While the supermodel's freckles are a plus, the styling efforts failed at making her pass as a guy. Also, someone on the editing team didn't know what to do with the contours and shadows of her chest.
