Q&A
FTER BEING SCOUTED by a modeling agent at 17 while
working at McDonald’s, Andrej Pejic has found himself at the center of both the high-fashion world and a
contemporary debate over gender binaries. Now 21, the
Bosnian supermodel is known internationally for his
signature “girl-boy” androgynous look, ethereal whiteblonde hair and delicate features. While those who see
his face in Vogue Paris’ glossy pages or on Jean Paul
Gaultier’s runway may confuse him for a woman, Pejic
refuses to be defined by traditional conceptions of sexuality. Media attention has followed. —Sarah Leon
