| Andrej by Thomas Lohr for i-D Magazine |
In 2008
Joseph @ Chadwick via the crew at 62 Models sent through some Polaroids of a brand new model they had scouted in Melbourne called
Andrej Pejic.
Black fashion director
Rachael Churchward was so taken with his look she immediately booked him for a men's fashion shoot with
Russ Flatt for Issue 9 of
Black 9 (alongside
Michael Whittaker). Chadwick/62 flew him over straight away for the shoot and all and sundry were taken aback with Andrej's natural beauty and farouche androgyny. Andrej has since had a meteoric rise in the world of modelling walking for the likes of
Paul Smith and
Jean Paul Gaultier, shooting editorial with big names like
Steven Meisel,
Willy Vanderperre,
Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott,
Thomas Lohr and most recently
Juergen Teller. Teller shot him for the brand new
Marc by Marc Jacobs campaign and it sounds like it was Jacobs himself who was keen on the new poster boy for androgyny. It is a long way from his humble beginnings in
Oyster and
Black to a current ranking of #17 on Models.com (and rising fast) but there is no doubt Andrej's look is utterly unique and his future looks stellar...
