2012-4-5 Andrej Pejic -GQ TW

Stage_1
首站，墨爾本Chadwick經紀公司。

Andrej Pejic的成名之路，可回碩自2008年，隨著義大利星探的提拔，188公分，17歲的他認清了自己的人生目標。在將照片寄給Chadwick Models經紀公司後，他選擇延緩大學學業，追尋他所想要的模特兒事業。

墨爾本的Chadwick Models經紀人Matthew Anderson，看到了當時Andrej Pejic所潛藏的魅力，他說：「他擁有非凡的美貌和智慧，對於自己的一切感到滿意自在。」而在成功橫掃08年墨爾本春夏時裝周後，Anderson決定 讓Andrej Pejic到倫敦去闖蕩一番。

Sarah Doukas 慧眼賞識，歐洲起航。

隔年，Andrej Pejic一結束他的高中學業，便打包行李前往倫敦。然而，在歐洲典型壯碩身材的男模市場裡，他的”陰柔”反倒成了阻礙。他回憶著說：「我記得當天下著大 雨，我沒有帶傘，一切就像電影演的那樣─『天呀，我來到倫敦了，我花了我媽好多錢，而且一家經紀公司也沒上。』─彷彿就像瑪丹娜(Madonna)圓夢的 翻版。」在狂風暴雨中，他走進第五家經紀公司Storm，就在這因緣際會下，由當初挖掘Kate Moss的經紀人Sarah Doukas，給了他一個機會。

Sarah Doukas說：「當我第一次見到Andrej時，腦中只想著『多麼美的一個女孩(或男孩)呀。』除此之外沒多想什麼，對於他，我完全不想給予任何的界定。」經紀公司除了將它歸類在男模檔案外，當然，女模也少不了他的位子。



Stage_3
Vogue Paris巔峰之作，晉升Jean Paul Gaultier新寵兒。

在經過2011巴黎時裝周過後，Jean Paul Gaultier、John Galliano、Raf Simons、Paul Smith，四場大秀，引起眾編輯矚目─「誰是那位金髮尤物？」這股尋人騷動在經過當時法國版Vogue總編Carine Roitfeld的欽點徵召後，更是有如排山倒海而來。

「Carine Roitfeld的態度就像是『給他穿上Fendi！』我的經紀公司有詢問過說是否會(因穿女裝)感到不適，但裙子我從小就在穿啦，所以，對於拍攝Vogue Paris內頁，我說：『當然，沒問題。』」

從那時起（接獲Marc by Marc Jacobs女裝男穿、Jean Paul Gaultier女女喇舌的代言後），Andrej Pejic覺得他的”性別”開啟了另一種對藝術的詮釋。在過往兩年間，他參與了Jean Paul Gaultier的男裝、女裝，甚至在高級訂製服穿起新娘婚紗閉幕；在二月紐約時裝週期間，他也參與了四場女裝、五場男裝；在鬼才John Galliano的同名秀上，即便是替男裝走秀，Galliano也將他扮成像是Betty Catroux（聖羅蘭大師和Tom Ford的時尚謬思）般，將「性別」推向極限巔峰。



Stage_4
備受爭議的高人氣性別議題

在為 Jean Paul Gaultier 11年秋冬女裝走秀後，受到英國每日電報記者Hilary Alexander犀利訪問，倒也爆出了願意為Victoria`s Secret(維多利亞的秘密)變性的勁爆言論。

當然，這樣的高名氣和高調”性別”議題漸漸受到世人評論，舉例像是，去年春天替《Dossier》袒胸拍攝封面，就因為被誤認為是女模露點包裝不當，使得雜誌下架；美國版FHM也在Andrej Pejic被選為全球第98名性感美女時，因對他的用詞不當而提出道歉。

對於事業引起的爭議風波，他說：「其實就像是... 接受這方面的輿論吧，我的人生本就帶著爭議性的，還能說什麼呢？我就像小甜甜布蘭妮(Britney Spears)一樣呀。」



Stage_5
對兩性、對愛情的看法

談及愛情生活，Andrej Pejic在這方面意外的機智堅定。他認為，其實性別是無關緊要的，並且非常令人難以置信的說：「我不會用肉欲來形容自己，我尊重也感謝愛情，雖然現在沒有，但有一天我會愛上擁有它的感覺。我很滿意我自己，所以，我不會和沒意識到這點的人來往。」

另一方面，對於“性別”的看法，Andrej Pejic或許不會和別人據理力爭（雖然很多人希望他這麼做），但他對於已被刻板矮化的性別有所疑問：「在現今社會中，如果一個男生被形容是女生，我想這應該是某種極大的侮辱，但這是為什麼？是因為女性被矮化看扁了嗎？」他提起眉毛懷疑的問著，「我知道有些人希望我替自己捍衛發聲，但你知道，其實這一切都不重要，我並沒有非常強烈的性別認同意識，我了解自己，也認同它，如同有些人用它來當創作靈感或是某種商業用途來使用，就像擁有某種技藝來賺錢一樣。」

引用之前的採訪，不過內容還蠻不錯的。不是只是關注單一方面。
我覺得最棒的一點是，即便是相似的問題，他還是能讓答案有趣不乏味! 

不是性別不重要，而是不讓性別去設限一切，去界定該與不該；能與不能。而是一個人的特質，以及是個甚麼樣的人才是最重要的。

2012-2-8 The sky's the limit! How Andrej Pejic is becoming a more popular womenswear model than any female

Pejic's most recent shoot saw the model posing for photographer Sebastien Micke and assistant Russ Heller in a bright blue bikini and pale blue trouser suit - and he looks every inch the cover girl.

Behind the scenes images show Pejic's make-up being applied, and his flawless complexion. We also see the model admiring the clothes he will be wearing in the shoot.

The photos suggest that the Serbian blonde - who grew up in Australia and burst onto the fashion scene last year - is set to make an even bigger impact in 2012.

Not just any model: Pejic is the fashion world's man of the moment - and he models womenswear more successfully than almost any of his peers

He is rumoured to be about to sign a contact to be the face of a major fragrance campaign - the natural next step for a successful catwalk model - and is almost guaranteed to be making an appearance on womenswear runways in the coming weeks.
In 2011, the 20-year-old was so in demand, he was even chosen to model for a female lingerie campaign. Pejic's lack of cleavage did nothing to hinder his appeal and starred in an poster for Dutch department store Hema - advertising a push-up bra.

The model is so popular an 'industry term' has been invented using his name.

The 'Andrej Pejic effect' refers to men who use make-up, after the androgynous supermodel who openly discusses his use of cosmetics.

But it's not all fun and games for Pejic, who admits he has to work hard to maintain a woman's figure.
He told Grazia magazine: 'To do womenswear I have to be disciplined. My waist has gone from 29 to 25 inches, my hips are 35 inches.'
It appears the hard work is paying off.

有人說在拍攝的那天剛好經過那，然後就看到他了。 好像是拍第一張的時候。

2012-2-10 Andrej Pejic: 10 things you should know about Fashion Week’s androgynous model✍

1. Pejic is not transgendered.

While he often wears women’s clothing and doesn’t mind when people mistake him for a girl, he has no desire to actually become one. Androgyny and cross-dressing do not make him transgendered — for that, he would have to identify as the opposite sex. Pejic still identifies as a man. 

He told New York Magazine: “I know people want me to sort of defend myself, to sit here and be like, ‘I’m a boy, but I wear makeup sometimes.’ But, you know, to me, it doesn’t really matter. I don’t really have that sort of strong gender identity — I identify as what I am. The fact that people are using it for creative or marketing purposes, it’s just kind of like having a skill and using it to earn money.”

1.Pejic不是變性者

他經常穿著女性衣物,也不介意被誤認為女生,但這不表示他對此有任何打算。雌雄同體和異裝不代表他是跨性。-在這點上,很肯定Pejic是位男性。他告訴紐約雜誌:我知道人們希望我為自己辯護,但我就只是像這樣,"我是個男孩,有時我會化妝。"你得知道,對我來說這不重要。我沒有強烈的性別認同-我自己定義我自己。人們用這點來發展創意或利益,這像個技能,能夠用來賺錢的技能。

2. He wasn’t always so glamorous.Pejic worked at a McDonalds and cleaned toilets in a strip club. 

2.生活並非總是光鮮亮麗。Pejic曾在 McDonalds打工和脫衣舞孃俱樂部當清潔員。

3. Pejic and his family are Bosnian refugees. He was born to a Serbian mother and a Croatian father. His mother fled to Serbia with her children, and they were granted refu­gee status to move to Melbourne, Australia, where Pejic grew up. His father stayed behind. 

3.Pejic和他的家人曾是塞爾維亞的難民。他有一位塞爾維亞母親和克羅地亞父親。當時他的母親帶著他們逃往塞爾維亞,因難民的身分轉往澳洲墨爾本,Pejic就此在這生活。他的父親並未與他們同行。

4. Pejic became famous for modeling a push-up bra...To demonstrate just how well their push-up bra works, Dutch retail chain HEMA hired a model without breasts — Pejic — to wear it. He wore the bra under several figure-hugging dresses. 

4.Pejic是魔術胸罩的知名代言人... 為了證明自己的產品,荷蘭連鎖百貨HEMA請了平胸的Pejic證明穿著效果。

5. ...and a wedding dress.Pejic was honored with the showpiece of the Jean Paul Gaultier womenswear show last year — he wore the designer’s see-through wedding dress. He also wore a more conventional bridal look on the cover of Out, where he was awarded “Stylemaker of the Year.”

5......婚紗。去年的Jean Paul Gaultier的女裝秀上,Pejic穿著了該位設計師的作品出現在伸展台上,看起來就像個新娘。也曾如傳統新娘一般的造型出現在Out雜誌封面上,被封為"年度Stylemaker "

6. His biggest problem? His shoe size.Pejic is 6-foot-1, and a women’s size two to four — but his shoe size is a women’s 11. Since it’s a rare size for women, he’s forced to squeeze his feet into a women’s size 10 to walk in shows. 

6.他最大的難題? 鞋子的尺寸。Pejic有6英呎1的身高, 而女性鞋碼在2-4碼間。而他的女用鞋則是11號。在女鞋上這是罕見的,所以走秀時,常得把雙腳擠進10碼的鞋子裡。

7. Pejic was named the 98th sexiest woman in the world by FHM. The designation was an offensive one — macho mag FHM called him a ”thing,” and, in reference to his androgyny, said “Pass the sick bucket.” The article was later removed from FHM’s Web site.  

Pejic曾入選FHM雜誌的票選百大性感女性第98名。但該雜誌卻在事後稱他"the thing",並說他的雙性化是"Pass the sick bucket"後來FHM將這篇文章從網站上撤下。

8. His torso was censored by Barnes & Noble and Borders. When Pejic made the cover of Dossier, the bookstores made the magazine sell that issue in an opaque bag to cover up a shirtless image of the model — even though men’s chests show up on magazine covers all the time. “There's this expectation that men are masculine, and that women are feminine, and have bodies that can be recognized as female,” says Paisley Currah, a professor of political science at Brooklyn College and the author of the upcoming book United States of Gender, to the Daily Beast. “So Andrej, who is being presented socially as a woman, but whose body is a man, upsets those expectations. And he raises everyone's anxieties about gender as a result.”

8.他曾被Barnes & Noble和Borders兩大連鎖書店下架雜誌。

當Pejic出現在Dossier雜誌封面,兩大書店用不透明封套遮掩雜誌,盡管-雜誌常有男性袒胸露背的封面。"人們對性別有某種印象,男性陽剛,女性陰柔。而這可能會被視為一位袒胸露背的女性"即將出版新書United States of Gender的紐約布魯克林政治學教授 Paisley Currah說。"所以Andrej可能會被視為男性身體的女人,這會造成大家對性別的混淆和困惑。

9. He wore a skirt to meet the Queen of England.When invited to Buckingham Palace, Pejic chose a Paul Smith blazer, Issey Miyake shirt, vintage Versace pencil skirt, his mother’s belt from the ’80s, and Toni Blanco shoes. He said it was inspired by “Sharon Stone, with a little bit ’90s.” Grazia magazine called the ensemble “modest and smart, but very beautiful ... a resounding success.”

9.他會見英國女王時是穿著裙子。 當被邀請至白金漢宮時,Pejic選擇了Paul Smith西裝外套、三宅一生的襯衫配上vintage Versace鉛筆裙和他母親80年代腰帶及一雙Toni Blanco鞋。他說靈感來自Sharon Stone和一點90年代風格。被Grazia雜誌稱讚"謙虛和聰慧,出色的外貌......一個極大的成功。

10. Pejic likes to play tricks.Joking about how Victoria’s Secret models have babies and go back to the runway with their original bodies just weeks later, Pejic jokes to New York magazine that he wanted to do the same thing, but in one day. He bought a fake pregnancy belly, but was prohibited from wearing it at a Brazilian airport. His Twitter account is full of sarcastic quips like, “I feel like Christina Aguilera is a blonde version of Snooki these days.” However, he can also get serious, often tweeting about politics and international affairs as often as he tweets about fashion.

10.Pejic喜歡惡作劇。

在開了VS的模特懷孕後又立即回復身型重返伸展台的玩笑後的兩週,Pejic像紐約雜誌笑稱希望自己也能如此的同一天,他買了一個假扮懷孕肚子,在巴西機場入境時被攔了下來。他的Twitter帳戶充滿嘲諷幽默,例"我覺得Christina Aguilera最近像金髮碧眼的Snooki。"同時他也有對國際政治議題深沉的一面,以及時尚訊息。

2012-2-21 He's got the look

Pejic on the catwalk for Jean Paul Gaultier.

''I've grown up a lot in these two years,'' he confided. ''I've become more independent. I've expanded my horizons.'' Between shots of boardshorts for boys and maillots cut high over the hip and skimpy for girls (he nonchalantly swapped from one to another and back again), he talked about his strange and fabulous life.

''I think I'm a reflection of a cultural phenomenon,'' he said carefully. ''It's marketing, but there's a plus: people use me to send a message of tolerance and to explore different types of beauty and self-expression.''

Pejic's beautiful face is a confusing ingredient in campaigns by some of fashion's most powerful global brands: Marc Jacobs, Raf Simons, Vogue magazines, even a global perfume campaign he shot recently for a launch in August.

His infamous appearance as a bride in a sheer, rippling goddess gown for Jean Paul Gaultier in Paris last year whipped up controversy.

But the Boy from Broady confused the masses even more cruelly when he appeared ''topless'' on the cover of New York's Dossier magazine. Stockists in the US demanded the magazine be sold in an opaque plastic sleeve, making Pejic possibly the first man in history to have his nipples censored.

''I wasn't complaining, that got me a lot of press,'' he says. ''But, an artistic image, even of a woman's body, I don't think should be censored.''

His mum, Jadranka, a former lawyer, now relief teacher, sits quietly nearby. She sees him so little these days, it's enough just to be close while he's working: ''I miss my baby,'' she says.

Her insights into the remarkable young man now twisting and pouting for a photographer, his flat creamy belly exposed in a knotted Nathan Paul T-shirt and tight swim briefs, are refreshingly simple. ''Andrej was such a good kid, what every parent wants: quiet, a good student, homework on time …''

The Pejics migrated to Australia from a Bosnian Serb refugee camp when Andrej was eight, and his brother Igor, 10. While he learned English and acclimatised to life at Broadmeadows West primary, his mother remembers Andrej was shy and kept his predilection for dolls and girly things to himself.

''I did try to be more boyish,'' he remembers. ''I tried to play sport, talk less.'' There was little or no bullying at school. ''I was happy. I was in a loving home, allowed to do all the girly things I wanted.''

His mother remembers a kind of epiphany when her son shifted from Broadmeadows to University High School. There his feminine side was not only tolerated but celebrated.

''All of a sudden, Andrej exploded!'' Mrs Pejic hoots at the memory. ''Andrej wanted pink hair, Andrej wanted makeup, Andrej wanted to go out …'' Pejic remembers it, too: ''I said 'f--- it', and started expressing the way I felt. I got more friends if anything, became more popular. I think people are more attracted to you when you're confident, more yourself. You shine more and people want to touch the light.''

Pejic says his loneliness and homesickness is subsiding. ''In this industry it's easy to meet people,'' he says. ''Now I have a lot of friends: models, make-up artists, designers.''

Fashion is also notorious for sycophants and fakes. He has ways of weeding these out of his peer group. ''There are a lot of inflated egos,'' he laughs. ''But, if you become like that then that's the sort of people you attract. I'm still very approachable. I want to have all kinds of people in my life, not just the cool fashion crowd.''

2012-4-29 下個月會去北京

 



為什麼你不來中國，這是個有古老歷史的東方國家。

Andrej: 我下個月會去北京!


好羨慕!!!!!
真希望許多跟這產業有關的活動，可以不要總是請一堆藝人或名媛。
反觀model或相關產業的人士沒幾個......
我不得不說這一點中國就做得很好。不僅僅只是因為擁有無限商機在這裡，也因為他們願意在這方面花心思。

這讓我也想問他會不會來這裡? (但如果沒工作的需要也不太可能......)

2012-2-22 Uživaju u australijskom letu: Andrej Pejić ugostio mamu i baku!

Članak objavljen: 22.02.2012 u 16:02 časova



Australijski androgeni maneken srpskog porekla Andrej Pejić (20) ugostio je u Melburnu majku i baku!

U vreme kada je Srbija okovana snegom, Andrej sa članovima najbliže porodice uživa u toplom australijskom letu. Ovog čuvenog manekena, koji je zbog ženstvenog izgleda osvojio srca modnih kreatora za dame, paparaci su ulovili dok je sa majkom Jadrankom i bakom Danicom išao u šoping u “Broudmidous” tržni centar u Melburnu, kao i tokom šetnje Kvins parkom.

Andrej je rođen 28. avgusta 1991. u Tuzli. Majka mu je Srpkinja, a otac Hrvat, ali su razvedeni. Ima starijeg brata Igora. Kada je počeo rat, porodica se doselila u Srbiju, a potom su emigrirali u Australiju. Andrej često dolazi u Beograd, a u selu Vojska kod Svilajnca živi njegova baka Danica.

Nedavno je Pejić uzburkao modnu scenu izjavom da bi, ukolio bi mu iz “Viktorijas sikrita” ponudili ugovor, bez razmišljanja stavio silikonske grudi i promenio pol, a čak je ponudio i čuvenom Hjuu Hefneru da se slika za “Plejboj”.

Magazin “FHM” svrstao ga je na 98. mesto među 100 najseksepilnijih žena na svetu, a po sajtu models.com na 18. je među muškim top modelima.

介紹了他的出身背景和現況。

2012-2-21 Andrej Pejic leaves them for dead in cozzies for men and women

THERE are no boundaries - gender or otherwise - for Broady boy turned international model Andrej Pejic.

The androgynous head-turner was back home yesterday to model the latest swimwear collection for avant garde Australian designer Nathan Paul.

The only difference? Pejic yesterday modelled both mens and womenswear for Paul's Spring/Summer 2012/2013 collection.

"It is out there, thought provoking and sexual and very virgin-like too," Pejic said of the Aussie cozzies.

The model, who missed NYFW last week to shoot a campaign in Paris as the face of a major fragrance, has modelled everything from Jean Paul Gaultier's bridal range to women's lingerie.

Pejic said morphing into his feminine side was not too hard.

"I am comfortable to do a lot of things," he said at the Day of the Dead-themed shoot at Richmond restaurant Mexicali Rose.

"I think it is definitely more intimidating and revealing. I have to bring out the sort of sexy side, but it is a lot of fun.

"You have to come to a place where you just let go and I have come to that place already.

"There are no gender boundaries and no other boundaries of any sort. We don't like that."

Pejic's Chadwick Models agent Joseph Tenni said the Serbian Australian was a superstar.

"He got more covers last year than any other Australian model, by far, and any other male model in the world," Tenni said.

"I think he can achieve a lot more in the Australian market."

Designer Paul said he felt Pejic was the right look for his brand and loved his edgy style.  "I didn't do it for controversy."
