The fashion world has always got an “it” girl or boy of the moment; Think Kate Moss, Agnes Deyn, Josh Beech. However this year, there’s a little difference to the most talked about model from Fashion Week. Enter Australian model, Andrej Pejic. Standing over 6ft tall with long, white blonde hair, a dewy complexion and cheekbones to die for, Andrej is the envy of every female model.
Here’s the twist: Andrej is a guy! He has hit the headlines recently for modeling both mens and womens wear. It is, admittedly, hard when seeing Pejic on the catwalk amongst female models to realise that he is, in fact, a male. His build is considered almost perfect for couture, which is why he was chosen to model a wedding dress for Jean Paul Gaultier’s show during January’s Haute Couture Fashion Week. While still modeling menswear, Pejic has been chosen to front many womenswear collections for prominent designers worldwide, at just 19 years old!
The model, who’s originally from Bosnia, is gaining mixed reactions with some embracing his unique, androgynous appearance while others find it difficult to understand the concept of a man advertising clothes which are made for women.
We think Pejic is going to be at the heart of debates for weeks to come, but one thing’s for sure; he can work a dress!
