One of the most talked about names in the fashion world nowadays, Andrej Pejic has already made history. The androgen Serb model, just 19 years old, worked on several major campaigns, such as Marc Jacobs and Jean Paul Gaultier. We did an exclusive interview with him and he was the nicest person!
* And since the issue of androgyny is in vogue, we’ve asked for how long he’s taken this persona. Playing with Lady Gaga hit, Andrej responds: "Since the day I was born. Incidentally, ‘I was born this way’. " And the good mood of the model is here to stay. Recently, he commented that he would become a woman to be a Victoria’s Secret angel. Why? "Well, the lingerie would fit me better. I’d be a millionaire and could finally stop working so hard and have children."
* Changing the subject, Andrej recently said he saw Lea T. as a competitor, but it’s not so black and white: "We’re friends," he says. And as both represent a sort of hybrid in fashion, we wanted to know if it was a difficult title to bear. "There’s always some pressure when you take things to the next level, but I’m aware of the reality of this industry. So when we are ‘old faces’ [Lea T. and him], we will hold hands on the way to botox," he jokes.
* And if there was any doubt before, now it comes from Pejic’s own mouth: he’s coming, yes, to Sao Paulo Fashion Week and to Fashion Rio, through Ten Model Agency, which represents him here. Awesome, isn’t it? We don’t know for whom he’ll model, but he gave us a hint, saying that his favorite Brazilian brands are "Alexandre Herchcovitch and Rosa Cha." We can’t wait for him to come!
