Meet the models breaking the mould

Bring on the wrinkles... and the spare tyre and the brains, too. Because you don't have to be a silly, skinny teenager to make it in modelling these days

The male/female model: Andrej Pejic
• Interview by Simon Hattenstone

At the age of 14, Andrej Pejic liberated himself. For years, he had tried to be a conventional boy – he'd stopped playing with Barbies, he'd started to wear baggy clothes and caps, he'd even had a go at Aussie rules football. But it just didn't seem right, and the more laddish he tried to be, the more the other boys called him gay or a girl.

So he went with his instincts. "Liberation came in a bottle of bleach," he laughs. Out went the sandy-brown hair, in came the blond bombshell. To some he was a ridiculously beautiful girl, to others he was an even more ridiculously beautiful boy. He was happy to occupy an androgynous halfway house that defied definition.
