2011-3-3 Andrej Pejic: Modelling can be tough✍

Andrej Pejic admits female models are sometimes rude to him.

The 19-year-old was discovered two years ago while working in a McDonalds, and has since gone on to model for many high profile designers, including Marc Jacobs.

He is notable within the fashion industry for his androgynous look, which sees him modelling both male and female items.

Andrej believes his success in the female arena means he is often the subject of criticism from other models, especially women.

"All the big [female] models are usually fine, but yeah, girls can be b***hy. We all get dressed together backstage and I think now they see me in women's campaigns, they do feel worried. But I work hard for it and I don't think I'm any less deserving," he told Grazia.

With his unique look, Andrej admits he is often mistaken for a woman. He has previously revealed his first modelling agent was unsure of his gender, but says he feels most comfortable dressing in a feminine way.

 

"I'm equally comfortable modelling menswear and womenswear. I got taught to walk in heels by one of my agents, and then practiced in my bedroom.
But wearing women's clothes isn't a big political statement. I don't feel like a role model, it's just my personal look, and often what I feel most attractive in.
 If we really have equality between the genders, which we like to pretend we do, it shouldn't be a big deal," he added.

Andrej坦承有些女模特對他很無禮

19歲的Andrej 兩年前在McDonalds工作時被發掘，展開模特兒生涯為許多知名的設計師工作，包括Marc Jacobs。

他雌雄莫辨的風格成為了時尚界注目的存在。如前述，他可同時身兼男女模工作。

Andrej相信他的成功來自他女性般的外貌，這也讓他經常成為被其他模特談論的對象，特別是女模特兒。

"許多的女模都很友善，但沒錯，女孩們有時很賤。 我們一起在後台換裝，而她們看我走女裝秀，這讓她們感到擔憂。 但我努力工作，我不認為我有什麼不值得，"  他告訴Grazia。

獨特的外表，Andrej承認他經常被誤認為是女性。 先前他曾透露，他第一個經紀人甚至不確定他的性別，而他也說穿著女性服裝令他感到舒適。

"我同樣舒適於男裝或女裝，我有一個教我穿高跟鞋走路的人，然後我在自己的臥室練習。
但穿著女裝不是什麼政治聲明。 我不是一個典範，這只是我個人的風格，我只是穿著對我有吸引力的衣服。如果我們真的有兩性之間的平等，那我們按照自己的意願去做什麼，這就不應該是個大問題。"他補充道
