Fashion's New Gender Bender

The new face of Marc Jacobs has Cindy Crawford's bone structure and Kate Moss' body, but Andrej Pejic is a 19-year-old Serbian boy. Damon Baker, a 19-year-old British photographer, went into a dark karaoke bar in Covent Garden last summer. In the back of the smoky club, he saw a woman with high cheekbones, long platinum blond hair, and wide-set blue eyes. She was, as he puts it, “the most beautiful girl you’ve ever seen in your life.” They started flirting. Only a few minutes into their conversation did Baker realize: She was a he. And that he wasn’t just anybody. He was Andrej Pejic, a 19-year-old male model who has taken the fashion industry by storm. He has Cindy Crawford’s face and Kate Moss’ body — give or take a few parts.

Pejic is part of fashion’s new “femiman” trend, the latest in a new crop of gender-bending models. Pejic is the leader of a new gender fluidity in fashion, in which traditional male and female attitudes are starting to matter less. It’s a message that is being slowly adapted industry-wide, and it is resonating with consumers.

Pejic and his family fled Bosnia for Serbia when he was 2 months old. He remembers the NATO bombings of Yugoslavia as a child. At age 8, his family left for Australia, where they settled in Broadmeadows, a rough neighborhood in the suburbs of Melbourne. Pejic says he knew he looked like a girl from the minute he “came out of the womb and looked in a mirror.” His transition to Australia was a difficult one, as he was forced to learn English and integrate with students who weren’t like him. But Pejic insists that for all his physical differences, he was never bullied by his peers, and instead felt only that he was the subject of “curiosity and attention.” “A lot of macho guys did think of me as a girl,” he says of his high school years. “I can’t really say that it was ever a bad thing. All I’ll say is… a lot of free drinks!”
