Just another fashion model talking about class, war and politics | Andreja Pejic | TEDxKalamata

Andreja is going to share her transformation from a war refugee to a transgender model. During her speech she will let us experience her personal exploration from her early childhood. She will strongly remind us that is important to challenge our ideas. Andreja's contribution through this speech is to talk about Unity. Unity between genders, Unity between human beings. Pejić was first discovered as a teen and has since become an inspiration to the international fashion industry and transgender community. She was the first model to make a successful career in both women’s wear and men’s wear and to be featured on both boards of her modeling agency. Today, she’s exclusively represented by The Society Management’s women’s board. Pejić was discovered 2007 while working at McDonalds and rose to fame after her 2010 Paris Vogue feature styled by Carine Roitfeld, where Pejić was dressed in women’s wear and photographed by Mert & Marcus. Pejić went on to walk in top runway shows such as Galliano, Marc Jacobs, Raf Simons, Paul Smith, and Jean Paul Gaultier where she opened the show in woman’s Haute Couture and closed the show in a men’s suit. After thatshe became known as one of Gaultier’s muses, and was highlighted in his print ads and walked as the mariée in his women’s wear Haute Couture Spring 2011 show.
