Andrej Pejic Jean Paul Gaultier Kokorico Campaign Is Male Model's First Fragrance Deal

We love when rumors turn out to be true -- especially good ones about Andrej Pejic. A month after a French TV reporter dropped the hint that the androgynous male model had a big beauty deal in the works, Women's Wear Daily confirms that Pejic is the face of Jean Paul Gaultier's newest fragrance.

The scent, called Kokorico, is a men's fragrance, reports Women's Wear Daily, Gaultier's first in 16 years. The product was already released in France last summer with its own ad campaign, featuring the very manly-looking male model Jon Kortajarena and two bra-clad girls.

But Andrej, who has posed in bra spots himself, will star in a new round of ads, ostensibly reaching audiences beyond France -- and perhaps beyond men.

Considering Pejic's versatility, particularly in his past work for Jean Paul Gaultier, the new Matthew Stone-lensed campaign could just as easily feature the blonde, long-haired model in a traditionally female look as a men's one. But since the fragrance is specifically a men's product, perhaps we'll get a rare glimpse of Andrej in a dapper suit?

The ads, reports WWD, were just shot last week. So keep your eyes peeled in the coming months for Pejic's first major beauty campaign... and in the meantime, read more at WWD.com and take a quick look at Pejic's past work below.

I can't hate on this guy, but it all just seems so gimmicky. He was in the right place at the right time.

The image of feminine beauty has changed, as always, over the last 50years.
Angelina Jolie is a perfect example.
The ideal female face has been 'masculinized' to harder, less soft, with a stronger, squarish jaw and cheekbones.
That's why he's so convincing as a female model. Their face are now all a tad more mannish.

Love him, and I think he's gorgeous whether he looks like a man or a woman.

Disconcerting and confusing for sure. Will get the attention Madison Ave craves for its clients.

Judging by his past collaborations with Mr Gaultier and the man himself one can’t help but feel that the Andrej will be set up in a way to once again challenge gender perceptions. Of course the apprehension of which has also become a clever marketing ploy as the media plays the very public guessing game as to what expect from this latest collaboration.

If only we could all smell as yummy as Andrej....

As he's gotten older, I notice that he looks less androgynous and more masculine.

Australian? The name? The accent? He's Bosnian, for heaven's sake. You don't have to google much to find that out.
