Andrej Pejic- A Gender Bending Rising Star in the Modeling World

There are mixed reactions from the general public regarding Andrej Pejic, a model born in Tuyla, Bosnia-Herzegoveina to a Croatian father and Serbian mother who began modeling in Australia. The most unique aspect about this model, aside from the androgynous look that is getting this model noticed is the fact that this model walking the catwalks in Paris is in fact male.

Is this a new era in the modeling world? The fashion industry has always been a more accepting place than the rest of the world so is this a new trend? At the very least it certainly blurs the line of possibilities and opens doors for others who may wish to follow suit.
