Androgynous Andrej Pejic is hot on both men's and women's fashion runways

He --- and Andrej Pejic is most certainly a he --- is taking the fashion world by storm, but the unusual part is that he is doing so on the runways of both sexes.

A quick look and you might think, "wow, she is pretty hot," but in fact Andrej Pejic is an androgynous model from Australia. He's not new to the fashion industry, but this week he is at the 2012 New York City Fashion Week and will possibly be seen on the runway in both men's and women's shows.

Interestingly enough, as of September 2011, Pejic was ranked No. 18 on the Models.com Top 50 Male Models list but at the same time, in 2011, he was ranked no. 98 in FHM magazine's 100 Sexiest Women in the World list. That "award" that was later rescinded.

Pejic is At 6' or 6'1" (depending on the source) and very slender, at a women's size 2 or 4, perfect for women's fashion shows. His shoes, however, are a problem. He wears an 11 in women's shoes, but apparently no one makes 11s, so he must fit into women's size 10s.

A woman could be jealous of the way Pejic is described. He has high cheekbones, plump, shapely lips and flawless skin. The big giveaway, or perhaps small, is his Adam's apple.

In the January 2011 Paris fashion shows, he walked both the men's and women's shows for Jean-Paul Gaultier. He also walked the men's shows for Marc Jacobs.

New York Fashion Week kicked off on Thursday, February 9th. It's not clear as to which, if any, shows Pejic will be walking the runway in.

Pejic's popularity has caused a surge in demand for androgynous models: Gene Hogan, a representative at DNA models, which is the agency that represents Pejic in the United States, says that he receives dozens of calls every week. "They say, `Oh, you've got to see this guy! He's the black Andrej Pejic!"'

Although billed as Australian, Pejic was born on August 28, 1991 in Tuzla, SR Bosnia-Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia. He has one older brother named Igor. Their father, Vlada Pejić is Croatian. Their mother, Jadranka Savić, is Serbian. The parents divorced shortly after Andrej's birth, and during the Bosnian War, the family, including his mother, brother, and grandmother, fled to Serbia and settled in a refugee camp near Belgrade.

Eventually, the family emigrated to Australia.
