Andrej Pejic by Marcin Tyszka for Viva! Moda<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By diminishing the boundary between sexes, transgender model Andrej Pejic has become one of the most wanted male models<\/a> in the industry, and a firm favourite with Models Direct.<\/p>\n

With a stunningly feminine yet angular face, slender build and long platinum blonde locks, Pejic is able to model<\/a> for both womenswear and menswear.<\/p>\n

German publication ZEIT Magazin recently asked the androgynous beauty whether he feels more like a man or a woman: \u201cSometimes I feel more masculine but sometimes more feminine. Many think of me as more feminine but I am both. And at the moment I feel very comfortable about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

He went on to explain how he discovered his ultra feminine side: \u201cWhen I was very young I was interested in my mother\u2019s wardrobe. As long as you are a kid everyone thinks that\u2019s cute. It was only when I got older that I realized that there is a thin line between boys and girls.<\/p>\n

The 20 year old Australian has been working as a model for a roughly a year now, but it seems he never even considered a modelling career<\/a> before he was discovered. \u201cI started reading fashion magazines early on and I loved buying clothes, but I never dreamed of a modelling career.\u201d<\/p>\n

ZEIT Magazin went on to ask Pejic when the first time he modelled womenswear was: \u201cI\u2019ve modelled for some Australian brands but my first big show was Gaultier at the Haute Couture shows in Paris in January. It took a while until people thought I was capable of modelling women\u2019s collections because there were doubts I had the body to do it. But apparently I do have it.\u201d<\/p>\n

So what are the differences in walking for women\u2019s and men\u2019s shows? \u201cFashion for women is more demanding. It depends on how you walk and how you move. At men\u2019s shows you just run off,\u201d he said. \u201cI know what others expect of me. As a woman I am sensual and sexy. As a man I am more \u2013 plain.\u201d<\/p>\n

It appears that the rise of the androgynous model is now an unstoppable force as \u2018it\u2019 models like Pejic are being placed further in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Models Direct is always keeping its eyes open for all types of looks, so if you think you have an unusual look, why not get in touch<\/a> and see if you have what it takes?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
