Andreja Pejić

found this video of him, link here
its in french and he starts talking at like 2.25 (in english) if anyone is french and could translate the rest that would be good :)

SO here we go...

The beginning of the video is about France's voleyball team that just kills everyone B) Then they say : "Let's do a fashion week recap"


ON THE SET :

"Look at those images, at the end of Gaultier show some people were really surprised because the bride, that you can see there...
Elle était belle or rather Il était belle"
(I can"t really translate that, in english adjectives don't accord themselves with the subject, the adjective stays in feminine because it is still the bride only the subject changes, she says "he" because Andrej's a "he" but the bride is normally a girl so she says "He was beautiful" but it sounds weird (so the joke) because the adjective stays in feminine)



So, these days fashion loves paradoxes, as the New York Times stated it, 2010 was the year of transsexuals and transgenders in fashion"
She mentions Lea T, Martin Cohn, Candy Magazine.
"So who's that model ? You're going to see a few images. He's name Andrej (she pronounces it Androuge), he's 19 and got long blonde hair, he's very beautiful and maybe is the new icon of a certain liberation, anyway he's a David Bowie and Amanda Lear fan.
Blablabla Andrej's biography that everybody knows know :lol:
"When he started in the business it was the crisis and clients wanted hairy strong virile men (I love this part :rolleyes:) to sell the clothes and finally, no, it worked out, In 2010 he's on fire (in french we even says he's exploding), he's the face of JPG S/S 2011 along a female model, KK, they look like twins, in fact it's a man & a woman.

We met to introduce him to you."

BACKSTAGE AT JPG:

Interviewer (her) : Today there's something intriguing, there's a man who stole the woman's work today.

JPG: But wait it's a very beautiful young lady.

Her : Also... so what do...

JPG: ... He's charming

Her: So what do we say ?

JPG: We say he's beautiful, she's beautiful !

She aks Andrej how does he feel doing the show on a wedding dress

JPG: The only fitting we did on him the result was perfect, everything (the transparency), was in its right place there was nothing to change, to convert, to let out or conceal.

She aks Andrej if he doesn't feel like he's suddenly stealing women's jobs then how he felt when he was asked for the time to be on the runway with women's clothes, the most female-like part of his body, then i don't get the question, asking if there is a commitment when a man défile for women and a woman for men, then what as a child did he wanted to do


ON THE SET :

"He got it, he understood, il a la tchate he's going to run over everyone, men and women, in my opinion you're going to see him for a long time during these following years, he's got plenty of fans who created blogs about him and said he brings a positive message, about tolerance, well everybody loves this man/woman.


Then the guy thinks that Andrej should not wear women clothes if it is not for " his personal pleasure"
Someone asks if female models are not jealous about him.
The interviewer says "He's strange but he's going to hit the jackpot"
The guy replies no fashion's world is strange to have chosen him.
The video ends by some of them saying that he does not have a woman body so modelling for woman's clothes is not so great. (He has too much something and not enough something else) :innocent:

_______________________

So guys I've probably made a lot of mistakes it was hard to translate but well, I hope it's ok for you :flower: ... I just can't get enough of Andrej
 
Thanks for the translation, papillote.

How rude tho! I mean the people speaking at the end. Ignorance still prevails unfortunately. I admit, at first, I wasn't a fan of Andrej doing womenswear either. However, I think that had more to do with me not knowing Andrej, his personality, his preferences, etc. Andrej wearing dresses and heels; if he likes it, I love it. All this "men should be men" rhetoric going around is absolute nonsense. Men = masculinity is nothing more than a theory. We all know how it works in the real world.

Put it to you this way: I know plenty of "girly" men who will take your girl if you're not careful. At the same token, I know plenty of "jocks" who will sooner date their teammate on the football team than date me. My point is, all are men. Andrej is a man. His mannerisms, personal style, orientation (w/e that may be), etc. shouldn't take away from that.

The part about him having too much of something and not enough of something else was kinda funny tho. However, could the male(s) on the panel be a little bit... umm... I don't know... jealous?? Think on that for a bit ;)

i say if the if the dress fits... wear it ;) but i personally like him in menswear and showing the delicate/beautiful side to his masculinity but if a designer thinks a dress looks better on him than the other models then so be it. as for the last part of that interview some people just like to complain and fuss about anything and everything it's just the way it is.

OMG :shock: I just found out he was the girl (?) from the beautiful shot with the flowers in Vogue Paris September 2010. I don't know how I feel right now, this is so weird.
