Have. Want. Need.
Earlier this year, the fashion industry was fixated with transgendered and androgynous models like Jana K., Lea T., and Andrej Pejic who have appeared on runways, magazine covers, and fashion campaigns. Today, New York magazine released its Fall fashion issue featuring Andrej Pejic in shirtless stance similar to the one he posed for Dossier magazine a couple months back.

"Yes, if I was offered a Victoria's Secret contract. You'd have to, wouldn't you? I can't imagine doing it any other way. But, at this point I'm comfortable with who I am now." — Androgynous model Andrej Pejic told reporters at Paris Fashion Week that he'd consider getting a sex change for the rare honor of a Victoria's Secret contract. Considering he's already walking in shows like Jean Paul Read more
Through her signature minimalist lens, Phoebe Philo brought forth a sportier chic with the season's call to volume on wide boxy coats and cropped leather jackets for Céline's Fall 2012 collection. There was a subtle departure here from Philo's typical stuff — though it may even be an exaggeration to suggest it's a deviation at all.

Giorgio Armani delivered the art of slick suiting and a master class in bold color for Fall 2012.

"Did I ever think I had enough booty to advertise a push-up bra? No," androgynous male model Andrej Pejic tweeted earlier today. The Australian gender bender recently signed a lingerie ad contract with Dutch retailer Hema and shot these ads for the chain's push-up bra. Ignoring possible enhancements via photoshop or bra stuffing, the ad's approach has some logic to it. If the push-up bra can Read more
When does James Franco sleep? In addition to being an actor, director, author, and grad student, the multi-hyphenate superstar is now trying his hand at fashion photography. His debut for Elle — a gritty, winsome editorial called "Chateau Dreams" — was inspired by Rebel Without a Cause and paints Agyness Deyn as an androgynous beauty roaming the streets (and skies) of Los Angeles.

Fashion has always played with androgyny, but lately it has taken a provocative step onto center stage. Remember when Balenciaga sent a bevy of androgynous-looking models, including the fierce Jana K., down the Spring '11 runway?
