MELBOURNE'S gender-bending fashion sensation Andrej Pejic is taking the European catwalks by storm, but he is still "my baby" in the eyes of his proud mother.

The Broadmeadows bombshell was accompanied by his mum Jadranka to the gala opening on Myer's new-look city store on Thursday.

"He is lovely, he is talented and he is my baby," Jadranka said, revealing she worked two jobs last year to fund Andrej's trip to London to start his career.

他可愛又有才華,他是我的寶貝。Jadranka說。她透露做著兩份工作讓Andrej得已到倫敦展開他的模特生涯。

"I wanted the best for my children. Every mother wants their children to have a better life than them."It has been a struggle throughout the year and he proved he could survive without our support. He did a great job."
Jadranka, who encouraged her son to try out as a model, admitted she was worried when, as an 18-year-old, he left for Europe.

我只想給我的孩子最好的。每個母親都希望自己孩子的生活能比自己更好。他也證明了沒有我們在身邊也能獨立生活。做著一份不錯的工作。Jadranka鼓勵兒子嘗試模特的工作,也坦言讓一個18歲的人跑到歐洲是件令人擔心的事。

"I worried about him every night. I worried if he was eating, I worried where he was staying, I was scared how he was getting on in that world," she said."We are a normal family with a lot of love (and) if you can keep like that and you can support each other, then I am happy."

我每天晚上都在擔心,擔心他吃不好,不知住在什麼樣的地方,也怕他會不會不適應所處的世界。她說。我們是個充滿愛的家庭,只要能這樣並互相支持著對方,那我會少擔憂些了。

Her favourite moments from his past year? "When he was James Blond and of course the bride in the wedding gown, it was beautiful."

他過去一年裡(工作上)讓妳最喜愛的時刻是哪個部分?
"伸展台上的金髮龐德還有婚禮上的新娘,這真的是很美麗的時刻。
