At the Paris men’s fashion shows in June 2010, there was one question everyone was asking: ‘Who’s the blonde girl?’ It was Andrej Pejic, the 19-year-old Broadmeadows boy who’s taken the fashion industry’s breath away; whipping up a storm of delight, confusion and anticipation about androgyny in fashion.

Whippet-thin with impossibly long legs and a cascade of bottle-blonde hair, Pejic naturally turns heads. His striking Slavic features (he was born in Bosnia; his mother is Serbian and his father is Croatian) give him an astonishing beauty, but it’s his penchant for playing around with feminine clothing, accessories and hairstyles that has really captured people’s attention.
