Earlier this year I happened to get backstage at the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2011-2012 show. It was early and Andrej Pejic getting his hair done. He was alone and unoccupied so I thought it would be a great time to say hello and ask him for a quick interview.
Isaac Hindin Miller (of isaaclikes.com) was out front in his seat, texting me the interview questions. I didn't have a pen on me so recorded the thing on my camera to transcribe later. This is the result.
(The sound quality is pretty terrible so you may have to crank the volume! Otherwise, see below.)
KL How much has your life changed this year?
AP Obviously I'm more independent now, I'm living away from home, um and yeah, I'm traveling a lot.
KL Where are you based?
AP Um... It'll probably be New York. I'm moving there next month. I can't wait.
KL Favourite job so far?
AP That's hard. I'll have to give you top 3 maybe. Definitely going to Morocco for Marc Jacobs, shooting the Gaultier campaign and um Vogue Paris I think.
KL How do you enjoy being the most famous androgynous male model in the entire world?
AP (Laughs.) Um, well it's quite a specific category. Well, look. It's a job for me, and if it means I work more then I feel great about it I think, so yeah. It's good.
KLHow many shows have you got this week (so far)?
AP There's still an option... so I have this... about four or five?
KL Are you doing New York [Fashion Week]?
AP Yeah, I should be in New York
KL Awesome, we'll be in New York too.
AP Sweet, see you there.
