Top 50 Male Models - Andrej Pejic (ranked # 18)

Father is Croatian, mother is Serbian. Born in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina; left in the 90's with his family from the war ravaged country eventually settling in Melbourne Australia.

From WWD profile December 20, 2010: "Since the fashion industry first began asking “Who’s the blonde girl?” at the Paris men’s shows in June (2010), 19-year- old Serbian Australian model Andrej Pejic has emerged as a poster boy for fashion androgyny."
 
In January 2011, Andrej walked for Jean Paul Gaultier in his men's show and for the January 2011 couture show, eventually appearing in the Spring/Summer 2011 JPG campaign with Karolina Kurkova. The same season, he appeared in the Marc by Marc Jacobs campaign. Named one of OUT Magazine's 100 Most Compelling People of 2011.

To squeeze himself into female garments, he was forced to reduce his waist from 29 to 25. I would like to be like him, however I think I will send myself to the grave before reaching 29 haha!

A dream remains a dream.
