Born on August 28, 1991 in
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Andrej Pejić is now a citizen of Australia. He and his
family immigrated to Australia in 2000.
Pejic was reportedly discovered
by a modeling scout right before he turned 17. The modeling scout
had gone to McDonald's, where Pejic had been working
part-time.
Pejic walks the runway during the
Jean-Paul Gaultier Haute-Couture show as part of Paris Fashion Week
Fall / Winter 2012/13 on July 4, 2012 in Paris, France.
Pejic arrives at DSquared2 and
Interview Magazine's premiere screening of Behind The Mirror: Spring Summer 2013
Campaign at Copacabana on
February 10, 2013 in New York City.
In May 2011, Pejic's posed for
the cover of the New York-based magazine Dossier Journal. He was
shown wearing curlers and taking off a white shirt. Some U.S.
bookstore chains had the magazine covered because they were afraid
that the customers would think Pejic was a topless
woman.
