ANDREJA PEJIĆ

She/Her

“Andreja Pejić is an Australian model and actress. Since coming out as a trans woman in 2013, she has become one of the most recognisable transgender models in the world. Pejić became the first openly transgender model profiled by Vogue, in its May 2015 issue, and also became the first-ever trans woman to sign a cosmetics contract. In 2016, Pejić was awarded “Best International Female Model” by GQ Portugal and the following year she made history by becoming the first transgender woman to appear on the cover of GQ. In a 2022 interview Pejić gave an update on her forthcoming autobiographical documentary: ‘I’m trying to finish my documentary, which I’ve been filming over the past seven years, and I’ve decided to take control of it and tell my own story and direct it myself. I’ve always felt, from the beginning of my career, the media didn’t really understand me and interviews made me quite uncomfortable. Things have progressed a lot more in, say, the past five years, in terms of how we approach gender.'” [Source]
