It’s confirmed! Andrej
Pejic, the gender-bending male model is now in the early stages of having
his own reality show. The androgynous model started filming recently in New
York. This was affirmed through an email from the “DNA Models” – Pejic’s
agency. If this ensues, it will then be the breaking entertainment
news for most fashion aficionados.
The show will focus his various assignments together with his
mother, Jadranka Savic. As of the moment, DNA Models’ announcement has gained a
lot of media attention especially from fashion magazines and websites. The show
will surely tap the curiosity of viewers and would provide an insight to the
colorful world of modeling. Conversely, Andrej is credited as one of the most
in demand names in today’s fashion industry. Most designers loved him for being
flexible and handy since he can model both women and men’s wear. If his show
garners high ratings, which is high probable, it may be the start of his
superstardom much like that of Tyra Banks at his young age. Currently Pejic is
just 20 years old and he still has many years to further explore the world of
modeling. Pejic also has an interesting childhood since he fled from his war
torn country Bosnia-Herzegovina, to settle in Australia. He was discovered while working at McDonald’s
before his 17th birthday. In most of Pejic’s interviews, he stated
that he abhors the thought of being boxed and stereotyped within particular
gender.
Based on the reports, he stole the show when he opened the
Rosa Clara at the Barcelona Bridal Week 2012. Aside from this, we made a big
online buzz after he made a campaign for Hema’s Mega Push-Up Bra, December last
year. The resulting photos would make a person think twice. Most may find Pejic
interesting and unique due to his ability to model both male as well as female
clothing in the runway. It seems that fashion is arriving at the age of
androgyny. Since Pejic was accepted by the fashion industry, then this might
signal a new trend wherein more models would try clothes, which were at first
stereotypically made for the opposite gender.
