Jean Paul Gaultier shows Andrej Pejic the love - Telegraph
This fall 2011, as the media forces my attention on yet another Fashion Week, the highlight for me is that a man, Andrej Pejic (shown), is modeling as a woman. Not a fact of striking interest in itself (although many editorialists are trying to frame it in such a way as to show the liberated, openminded mentality of the fashion industry), but it seems to affirm what I have always suspected: that designers really would like women to look like young boys. We've been dancing around the issue for years and now it's done.
After all the inflammatory reports about anorexia among fashion models and halfhearted attempts to impose minimum weight limits, snarky comments by Karl Lagerfeld about "fat mummies" and brave ripostes by editorialists, designers have finally settled on the smoothest, cleanest way to eliminate those pesky hips and breasts: let's use boys.
