Pretty?
Looks like a normal, beautiful, unique, pale blonde model. Well, he certainly is unique. Wait, HE? Yes, Andrej Pejic is a man, who just happens to be lanky and feminine enough to pass for a woman, so he models both men and womens clothes.
Most people, upon seeing him in his normal attire and makeup, automatically assume he's a woman. But then when he starts talking, a person knows the difference. This 20 year old Australian model, who was scouted at 17, has amazing modeling career. Referencing his first opening for a womenswear brand, he says "No one actually noticed it was me, or not a girl." When approaching certain modeling agencies, he was turned away because he couldn't be classified as a male or female model.Many are thankful he has broken the order of modeling. "I've always been instinctively drawn to those with character, and those who don't conform to one physical ideal" says Sarah Doukas, head of the Storm line. Many photographers adore Pejic, admiring his different look. He walked twice in a Jean Paul Gaultier show, for the womens and mens line. He's definitely had to work harder than most models, which he is admired for immensely.Many people are frightened by his appearance in the fashion world, they are threatened by the fact that he is neither a woman or a man, he is the middle space. Hopefully, people will now be more open to different people...I mean heck, he couldve gotten away with modeling as a woman, not like most models have existant breasts anyway...
He is a huge inspiration for transgendered models, and just transgendered people in general. Andrej is a wonderful role model for many men, breaking the normalcy of the fashion world.
