Editor's Take:
Andreja Pejić became one of fashion's most important pioneers. She first drew attention for modelling both menswear and womenswear. Her androgynous look challenged the industry's fixed ideas. After coming out, she continued to land major campaigns. She became one of the first openly trans models to win a big beauty contract. Her journey from refugee camp to global runways is remarkable. She has since moved into acting. She remains a powerful symbol of visibility for trans people.
