Are You Ready for Androgynous Male Models?

Question

The new face of Marc Jacobs has long, flowing blond hair, high cheekbones and wide-set blue eyes, and is said to resemble a cross between Cindy Crawford and Kate Moss. Here's the twist: He's a dude.



Andrej Pejic, a 19-year-old Serbian, made his modeling debut in Jean-Paul Gaultier’s Paris show, according to The Daily Beast. Since then, he has appeared in French Vogue, Italian Vogue and Turkish Vogue. And last week, he was unveiled as the face of Marc Jacobs’ spring 2011 campaign. He will also appear in Gaultier’s spring ads with the supermodel Karolina Kurkova, whom he also resembles.

While the world has certainly seen feminine-looking male models before, Pejic takes it to the next level.



"A lot of macho guys did think of me as a girl," he said of his high school years, according to The Daily Beast. "Though I can’t really say that it was ever a bad thing. All I'll say is…a lot of free drinks!"

Damon Baker, a British photographer, called Pejic "the most beautiful girl you’ve ever seen in your life." He started flirting with the model last summer, only to realize a few minutes later that he was a man.

While Pejic is certainly in demand, Arnaud V., his booker at the New Madison agency in Paris, tells the Beast that "some designers are a little scared to go for this image of very androgynous. Some people aren’t ready for him yet."

Are you?

Answer 1

More power to him. A beautiful person is a beautiful person regardless to their ***.

Answer 2

Of course, women have no problem in wearing and look like us, why not the opposite way.
But for me most important is that mens fashion is so dull. It is a lot more fun to experiment with and use the woman fashion, hair, clothes and makeup and have a lot more fun and if more guys like Andrej it might be more acceptable

Answer 3

absolutely amazing. I could go on and on about why this is great but I won't. -.^

Answer 4

Wow... That is all I can think when I see Andrej Pejic. He is extremely beautiful. Everybody is entitled be whomever they wish to be. Nothing is black and white; there are heterosexual females and males, yes - but there is also a portion of the population that identifies as being different, and this should (underline here lol) be perfectly acceptable into today's society. I would like to think that we have moved on from needlessly shunning people just because they are different.
By the way some studies have shown that in actuality there are very few set heterosexual and ********** individuals in the population and some people even theorize that the majority of people are actually varying shades of ******** and bi-curious. But I hate putting people in boxes- they should be whomever they wish to be.

Answer 5

Kate my dear hrers the TRUTH we dont tend to shun people just becauce thier different its becauce religon and those whom identtify with such noncense think that if you dont do things there way or believe the way they do then your different and then your shunned!!! Now let me explane ********** and here it's the same for both men and wemen thow wemen tend to be more open about the subject of thier ********** straight *** or bi but there's both men and wemen that call them self's ********* whitch just means thier not affraid of homsexualls thier affraid of those thoughts about them self's and yes everybody has them and it scarry to some to think that they even have these kind of thoughts so thay hide behind hate and violance becuase thay cant stand the TRUTH that we all think of *** with a member of are own *** weather we like it or not!!! If you look back in history before todays B.S. religon's it was'nt called ************** it was just simppally called ***...
p.s. please forgive my spelling erors stuff like this just ****** me off and I get mad and type way to fast!!!

Answer 6

He was born a beautiful man...However, dreesing him up like a woman would be a different matter

Answer 7

Wow I just relized he lookes like AnnaSophia Robb's twin !!!




They're both blond, with doll-like faces and those thick eyebrows

Don't they??

Answer 8

It is just clothing, what would you do for the money he makes?

Answer 9

I like it lots! :D

Answer 10

well hes pretty :) ..

Answer 11

Yes, I'm ready for androgynous male models. Their so hot

Answer 12

I'm a *******, and I'd totally do him.

Answer 13

Well **** Lexi I'm a stright guy and I'ed do him her what's the ****** different's right!!!

Answer 14

es hermoso and as long as is not the only acceptable form of male model will be fine. is not my type though

Answer 15

Variety's good, aslong as this doesn't become the only acceptable way a male is accepted as a model, we still need some masculine guys.

Answer 16

I doubt that would happen. Modelling will just have more variety.

Answer 17

I'm glad !

Answer 18

This is going too far. When only men can achieve what is supposedly beautiful for women, something has to change.

Answer 19

why do you think that only women are aloud to look beautiful

Answer 20

Just know, if Andrej Pejic, Izzy Hilton, Paul Boche, and any other androgynous male model can get it from me if they want. ;) Even if he's Serbian/ Croatian and my best friend is Bosnian...

Answer 21

Heck yeah! Androgyny is GORGEOUS.

Answer 22

Just not ready.....Bark

Answer 23

boys should be boys; girls should be girls; men should be men; women should be women.

Answer 24

So...All are pro-androgyny all of sudden...But I wonder if the results were so positive if say your dear *****-inducing, Hollywood Starring, boundary-blind beauty looked instead like say Lady Gaga would you be so accepting then, too? or would you be saying things more along the lines of quote: "I can't stand that horsed-faced tranny" I think the latter is more likely...
To accept androgyny only when it suits your fancy only when it's aesthetically pleasing to you is to not accept it at all! so I say NO! the world is not ready not as long as it exhibits such shallow partiality

Answer 25

First of all, Lady Gaga isn't a tranny. And second of all, why can't the person just be attracted to the person regardless of their looks?

Answer 26

Beauty does not know boundaries...so thank you *** for creating beautiful man such as him and made him be known for his beauty (via internet actually which lead to me) hohohoo...how I wish one day I have an androgynous son too (sigh...) but so~~NOT feminine in attitude and that surely would be cute hehehee...please make him a Hollywood Star and make him the lead actor in adventure-fantasy genre movies like The Lord of The Ring or Hobits. Make him an elves too~~! and I promise ya Hollywood Directors that I am gonna buy your movies in Blue Ray and Blue Ray IS expensive you know. Diversity in model appealing such as macho, manly, beautiful, pretty and cute types of models are so needed in these days and that same goes for Hollywood actors too!

Answer 27

Since the dawn of man, there has been androgyny. Anyone who decided 'no' are insecure & were raised to not like the idea, so they stonewall it. You think it's bad, look at your self and think about what you're saying. Gender is more than just man and woman. So quit looking at a piece of the puzzle and look at the full picture.

Answer 28

They already have unisex clothing and hairstyles, so having a man model women's clothing especially wedding gowns is stupid. I would not purchase an item for women if modeled or ******** by a man. I don't care what society thinks or dictates, it is wrong!

Answer 29

well then just go with the wedding gown that is ******** by a woman, and leave the man modelled *********** be. It's not WRONG.

Answer 30

although I dont fancy him, he is too feminine looking. but for fashion, beauty is beauty

Answer 31

There's more than just a binary.

Answer 32

I didin't mean to check ''undecided'' i ment to check yes!!! they are GORGEOUS!

Answer 33

Why do you like this?
I'm saying men can look like women, women can look like men.
It doesn't have to be just macho men & girly girls.
You can be genderless, bi-gender, pan-gender, trans-gender, transvestite.
People are people.

Answer 34

I love him oh so much. He's amazing, and probably one of my favourite models ever. Never mind what gender he is.

Answer 35

i had to fix that pic those pimples were killing me because other than that his skin was perfect

Answer 36

he looks too much like a girl though. scary......

Answer 37

Sad day for humanity when men are better looking to men than women! Babylon is coming soon with this wicked mentality! May Allah guide this young man and those that ****** him in this evil way!

Answer 38

Beauty is beauty no matter where it is or who it is.

Answer 39

I like men to look like men and women to be women. You can have all these men that resemble ladies. I don't care if they are nice looking but to resemble opposite of what you are is nasty and evil. It is a betrayal of what Allah created us to be.

Answer 40

Ok Mr. Religious Fanatic
