At only 17 years old, when she was discovered, Andreja already self-identified as gender neutral. In any other industry this might raise some nasty eyebrows, but the fashion world lapped up her intoxicatingly androgynous image. She had the ability to model both men's and women's clothes - and even did so for Jean-Paul Gaultier during the Paris show of 2011. She is definitely a wonderful talent.
2013 saw her undertake sex reassignment surgery to confirm her desire to be a woman in the eyes of the world, and this didn't change her standing one bit. Alongside appearances as a cover model for Elle, GQ, Marie Claire, and Harper's Bazaar, Pejic was the first transgender model to be profiled by Vogue and the first ever trans woman to sign a cosmetics contract. Take that, cruel world.
