With Andrej Pejic returning will full force to modeling, such as the recent Jean Paul Gaultier Beijing show and the ID Magazine Cover we managed to unearth some rare behind the scenes images of the incredible model.

On set with photographer Sebastien Micke, Andrej Pejic is quite obviously as relaxed as he is focused, seen going through wardrobe options with Micke and putting his energy into all the right paths.

There are critics that noted Andrej Pejic was dangerously close to becoming over exposed, so we are glad that a break took place, and now with Andrej back in business, we hope to see some really beautiful aesthetics created over the following months.

Scroll down for more images of Andrej Pejic behind the scenes.

Andrej Pejic took to Beijing this month to walk in a catwalk show for the legendary Jean Paul Gaultier. Wearing a much more dramatic than Andrej Pejic is used to, however ever the showman, Pejic created some fantastic hype. Jean Paul Gaultier and Andrej Pejic are continuing what seems to be a blossoming relationship as Pejic is now one of Gaultiers most used models.

Looks Like Andrej Pejic took the same path as Charlotte free and took the early Spring off. But we’re delighted to see he’s back on progression, starting out with this beautiful cover for ID Magazine, collaborating with Dree Hemingway. Photographed by Matt Jones.

Andrej Pejic recently spoke out about his troubles in the modeling arena.

Having not seen much from him over the last month, we were wondering if things had become to get tough. Perhaps some truth lies with this as Andrej spoke with the New York Times.

Stating about androgynous and transgender models, Pejic said:

“This is usually a group of people that are not treated nicely by society. They are usually segregated and go thorough torment and it’s nice to sort of share these stories and open people’s minds.”

Andrej Pejic then went on to state: “Yeah I feel like people are typecast very easy,”

It’s no wonder he feels pidgeon-holed, the points we made in Gender Is Not Over seem very relevant here.

Last year the fashion industry took a primarily underground phenomenon and opened it up into a mainstream revolution. I am talking of course about the so called “Gender Revolution”, a topic that is very much en vogue today. Now more than ever Transgenderism is a buzz word but more than that it is an actuality swiftly moving away from a segregated part of society to very public one; the fashion industry.

The sudden visibility of transgender issues is hailed overwhelmingly as a positive fact but when gender blending finds a place in the pages of fashion magazines and in other mainstream media it begs the question; what is the humanitarian impact on real life “gender blenders”?

I have a Transgender friend who believes she does not need to heighten the pitch of her voice or wear hair down to her chest, as … Read More »
