Andrej Pejic, the gender-bending 20-year-old Australian male model has broken onto the scene and changed the way the fashion industry thinks about cross-dressing. Last year Pejic's modeling talents were in high demand--he even hired to model in an advertisement for woman's pushup bras, and in 2012 Rejic's career is expected to continue its upward trajectory.

I think it's quite interesting that he is able to consistently book both men's and women's shows for even marquee names like Marc Jacobs and Jean Paul Gaultier, said Stefan Golangco, director of PR and Sales for the progressive menswear label Asher Levine. The reason being, like many of the greatest models of our time, he has a chameleon like quality.

Pejic the man.
