Andrej Pejic, an androgynous model who made headlines throughout the year of 2012, made another history by becoming the first male model to be featured on the cover of Elle Serbia.

Wearing a black wig and head-to-toe covered in Jean Paul Gaultier's latest women's collection, Pejic looks every inch a professional model.

In the inner spread, photographer Dusan Reljin captured Pejic as a male in one shot, wrapped in Gaultier menswear. Another shot shows the gender-bending model as a scantily-clad female barely dressed in La Perla and Agent Provocateur.
