A concept that Pejic understands more than many of his contemporaries. 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.

"There are similarities between myself and Lea T, and we're 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."
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
