MELBOURNE's other boy from Broady, Andrej Pejic, may be living the glamorous life on the catwalks of Europe, but he is proud of his working-class background.

The gender-bender cult star of haute couture is back home to appear at the opening of Myer's revamped Melbourne flagship store tonight.

"It is not like I was in this huge poverty and then suddenly it was a rags-to-riches kind of story," the 19-year-old said.
