Andrea Pezic

Andrea Pejic is a world-famous model whose star rose even at the time when Pejic was named Andrei and was a famous androgynous.

A young man with an angelic appearance of a fragile blonde in a few months conquered the most famous catwalks of the world. He was often compared to another well-known androgynous musician, Bill Kaulitz. But the two celebrities are united only by unusual appearance.

Andrei Pezic's biography surprises with the dizzying rise and turns of fate. He was born in the town of Tuzla in Bosnia and Herzegovina two months before the outbreak of hostilities in Yugoslavia. His mother, a Bosnian by nationality, worked as a lawyer and his Croat father worked as an economist.

Already in childhood, the boy amazed others with a puppet appearance, and his grandmother was often asked, grandson or granddaughter next to her. The woman jokingly replied: "I have both!" When little Andrei was 8 years old, he with his mother and brother Igor immigrated to Australia, the head of the family remained in his homeland.

Pezic's childhood was spent in Melbourne. From an early age, the boy liked to dress up, tried on his mother's heeled shoes and experimented with cosmetics. Together with a surprisingly feminine appearance, this behavior caused ridicule on the part of friends, so Pejic tried to hide the inner femininity. Nevertheless, at the prom Andrei managed to conquer classmates with appearance. The young man was awarded the title of "The Ball queen."

After school, the young man planned to become a historian. As a teenager, Andrei Pejic was fond of Marxism and even participated in the meetings of the Socialist Equality Party. Karl Marx is his hero on a par with eccentric artists Salvador Dali, David Bowie, Boy George and Amanda Lear. The guy's favorite book was "Anna Karenina." Perhaps the internal tossing of the main character of leo Tolstoy's novel resonated in the contradictory soul of the young man.

The first step to worldwide fame was the Melbourne branch of the international modeling agency Chadwick Model Management, where Pejic sent his photos. Branch chief Matthew Anderson was struck by the guy's resemblance to Jessica Hart, the agency's model. Andrey signed a contract and for several years, until high school, studied the intricacies of modeling craft: defile, posing in front of the camera, the basics of make-up and other nuances. The high height (188 cm at a weight of 67-70 kg) allowed Pezhych to break into the catwalk models.

Pezic's appearance in a female image at Sydney Fashion Week in 2009 made a real furore. At the invitation of Storm agency Andrew flew to London in 2010 and signed a contract with him there. Immediately after that Androgyn made agreements in Paris and Milan: in France his interests began to represent the agency New Madison, in Italy - I Love Models Management. The glossy edition of Dazed and Confused invited the model to the shoot. Thus, a year after the first fashion show, Pezic's career soared to the heights of European fashion.

2011 began for Andrei Pezic a triumphant procession through the catwalks of Paris: he represented the collection of women's clothing Jean-Paul Gentier and took part in a fashion show of menswear from Marc Jacobs.

The young man also worked with John Galliano, Raf Simons and Paul Smith.

In the male image, Pejic rarely performed, so such shows seemed paradoxically rebellious to the public and also aroused increased interest. The unusualness of the mannequin fascinated the audience, and the images created by him were enthralled. The presence of androgynous in advertising women's clothing shocked glossy readers, and collections, which andrei represented, became popular among fashionistas. The personality of Pezic was interested in the queen of England herself. Andrew was invited to Elizabeth II for a tea party, where he came in a Paul Smith blazer and a Versace pencil skirt.

In the same year, "Dossier" magazine placed a photo of Pezic topless on the cover, which caused a scandal: in the American bookstore chains "Barnes and Noble and Noble" magazine refused to put up for sale because of too much resemblance to Andrei with a woman. Such a conscious provocation played into the hands of both the magazine and the model: Pezic's popularity grew even more. Androgynus entered the 50 most popular male top models according to the site models.

No sooner had the story with "Dossier" subsided, as a new scandal immediately erupted. As a result of the voting of readers of the men's magazine FHM Androgyn Pezic entered the hundred most beautiful women. That year, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Katy Perry and Rihanna topped the list.

The editors removed Andrei's name from the printed version of the magazine, but left it on the site, quite sharply expressed on this occasion. The model called the word "it" offensive for Pezic, which in turn offended the mannequin. The incident was exhausted after the staff of the publication apologized to Andrei.

In late 2011, Pejic starred in a provocative advertisement for lingerie for the store "Hema", where he showed off push-up bras. In Barcelona at The Week of Wedding Fashion, he walked the catwalk in a wedding dress, for the edition of Love Cat starred as Marilyn Monroe.

The model categorically refused to call herself a transvestite. He did not resort to plastic and other manipulations with appearance, the beauty got him genetically, so Andrew insisted that he - androgynous. Later, the mannequin took part in the filming of the advertising of the new collection "Auslander" paired with the freak model Rick Jenest, known as zombie because of the numerous tattoos depicting the skeleton of a man. In these photos, Pejic appeared in men's and women's clothes, constantly alternating images.

In 2012, Pezic's joint photo set with Erika Linder was released. At the photo shoot, the models embodied the image of a quarrelling couple: Andrew in the role of a girl, Eric as a guy. It was a tribute to the nascent reverse of The Peugeot trend: the fashion included girls-models representing men's collections. The first swallow of this fashion was Casey Legler, who signed a contract as an exclusively male model.

In 2013, Andrei Pejic tried himself as an actor. He starred in the music video for David Bowie's idol on The Stars (Are Out Tonight). In the same year he decided to have a candid photo shoot for the Brazilian issue of Vogue magazine.

In 2015, the model, already posing as Andrea Pejic, signed a contract with the cosmetic brand Make Up For Ever. This turn in his career meant the ultimate recognition of the female beauty of transgender.

In 2012, the media started talking about Pezic's boyfriend. The press had little doubt that the model in his personal life adhered to an unconventional orientation and preferred men. The mannequin was increasingly seen at various events in the company of designer Rembrandt Durand, and in the photo on Instagram, Pezic and Durand and did look like a couple of newlyweds, which made journalists think about the nascent novel.

In July 2014, the fashion world was shocked by another news: Andrei Pejic changed his gender. The model now asks to call her Andrea.

Andrei Pejic has long stated that he does not know who he is - a man or a woman, admitting that he feels like a representative of both sexes at once. But to be such a man who is required to be social norms, Pezic did not like. At the age of 12, the future model already understood that he was a boy, and for a while struggled to meet expectations and social norms. This attempt further convinced Andrew that the male role is not for him.

According to an interview that the transgender model Pejic gave after the surgery to the American edition of People, in fact she always dreamed of being a girl and already at school began to take puberty blockers to change gender with the advent of adulthood.

Dizzying model career for a time delayed plans of Pezic to change sex, but now, having acquired financial independence, the world-famous androgynous decided to complete the work, to now be in harmony with their own nature.

Subsequently, Pejic made a four-minute documentary, "Andrej(a) - The Documentary, in which she told the story of reincarnation and how the change of sex affected her life in the first person. Since the model initially had an androgynous appearance, her appearance in clothes before and after the operation has not changed, the figure and facial features remained the same.

In early 2016, Pejic began wearing a ring on her ring finger to symbolize the engagement, and later the media reported that Andrea had married Rembrandt Durand.

Now Pejic successfully continues his modeling career. She signed a contract with the agency Ford Models, whose representatives in different years were Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Brooke Shields and others.

In 2017, rumors emerged about the romance of Andrea Pejic and stepfather Kim Kardashian, transgender Caitlyn Jenner. The pair appeared several times at social parties, holding hands tightly. But according to the portal Gossip Cop, the model and athlete, most likely, just befriend, as they have a lot in common.

In 2018, Pejic decided to try her hand at cinema. The model starred in "The Girl Who Stuck in the Web," the sequel to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. In the dramatic thriller Andrea played a character named Maria. The main roles went to Claire Foy and Sverrir Goodnason.

At the premiere of the film, which took place at the Rome Film Festival, the model appeared in a dress of pearl hue with a train and open back.
