A recent example is when he went to meet the Queen of England in a skirt. Pejic described his outfit that night to "British Vogue":
"I'm wearing a Paul Smith blazer, because I wanted to wear at least one British designer, with a vintage Versace pencil skirt and just some heels," Pejic told us as he got ready for the event. "I wanted to just be myself - androgynous - and play with the masculine blazer and pencil skirt. It's also a bit Nineties, which I love."
Whilst not transgender, Pejic is comfortable to dress in women's
clothes if the shoot or show demands it but, far from being the blank
canvas he hoped, this has seen him pigeonholed as part of the new
gender "trend" - a phenomenon which also includes Brazilian
transsexual model Lea T.
Pejic has commented that both models are placed in the same
category, but our look is very different. He said "Lea has been extremely brave in being very honest about her journey - but I don't
really see myself as being here to challenge transgender stereotypes. I'm just myself. It's taken a while to be
taken seriously, but I hope to prove that I'm very versatile and that
I'll still be here after the phenomenon has passed."
Or when he gets the sex change he said he would get to land a "Victoria's Secret" contract?
