A former male Australian fashion model who had built a reputation on his androgynous looks has undergone sex reassignment surgery and is now a transgender woman.
Andreja – formerly Andrej – Pejic, 22, went public about her decision on Wednesday and revealed that going forward she will only be modeling women's fashion.
Pejic has been making waves in the modeling world due to her androgynous looks since being discovered as a teenager working at McDonald's.
Until now she had modeled both men's and women's collections in fashion shows and appeared on the cover of magazines such as Elle and New York.
‘I figured out who I was very early on - actually, at the age of 13, with the help of the internet - so I knew that a transition, becoming a woman, was always something I needed to do,’ the Serbian-born model told Style.com.
