Shine on, Andreja Pejić.
This is Andreja Pejić.
Last July, Pejić, who's modeled for both men's and women's brands, came out as transgender.
“I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for the love and support throughout the years,” she wrote on her Facebook page at the time. “You’ve all helped me through this journey and I have learned a lot and really come into my own and the response to today’s announcement truly overwhelmed me and reminds me of why I chose to do this publicly.”
Today she revealed that she's the newest face for the beauty brand Make Up Forever.
Pejić's announcement followed the news that Clean & Clear chose transgender teen Jazz Jennings to head up its #SeeTheRealMe campaign.
Today Pejić also revealed that she's also featured in the new issue of Vogue — the first time a transgender model has ever garnered such an honor.
"If at the beginning of my career in the modeling industry or half way through it or even this time last year you told me that I would end up having a 4 page feature in AMERICAN VOGUE I would have probably told you 'oh I dunno about that!" said Peijic in her Instagram caption.
The model said that many times people told her "the chances of me ending up on these pages were slim to none. So you can only imagine what I’m feeling right now!”
