Gender- bending in fashion




I have recently discovered a model by the name of Andrej Pejic. Andrej is one of the few models that have walked the runway as both man and women. Andrej has become one of the first transgendered super models. Andrej was born in a male’s body but models mostly as a woman.

Andrej is very comfortable being gender neutral. Many people on and off the cat walk view Andrej rise in the fashion world as a sign of gender fluidity.  Andrej is very secretive about his sexual orientation. Saying love is love, which is just further proof that gender and sexual identity are two entirely separate things. The rise of Andrej is a sign of society becoming more accepting of those in the transgendered community. I think that this a great step forward for everyone.
