Since starting his career at the age of 17, Andrej has caught our attention because of his a.) looks, b.) his ability to pull of any clothes, and c.) his courage to be both Adam and Eve. Pejic who is mixed Serbian and Croatian had walked for both men and women fashion shows, including Jean Paul Gaultier's, and men shows for Marc Jacobs. While millions of people would die for beauty, Pejic was blessed to have both the face of an XX and XY. In 2010, he signed up for Storm Models, and since then, his career just blew rapidly.
Andrej no doubt, is one of the prettiest models in the world. At 19 years old, he is standing six-foot-one, pencil-thin as always. Yes, he may be once a toilet cleaner for strip clubs, but look at how he has emerged. Somehow, his androgynous style has brought him fame and success. This year, he was featured for New York magazine's fall issue. My favourite quote from Andrej? "In this society, when a man is called a woman, that is the biggest insult he could get. But, you know, to me, it doesn't really matter."
