Andrej Pejic Wears 'C**t' Hat, Swimsuit For Adeen Accessories Campaigns (PHOTOS, VIDEO)


First Posted: 03/07/2012 4:37 pm Updated: 03/07/2012 4:39 pm

Today in bypassing subtlety: an American accessories company has put out a hat that will probably make you do a double take.

New York-based accessories designer ADEEN has tapped male model Andrej Pejic to shill for its new campaign, titled "C--T: A Black and White Series."
(Warning: Offensive language used below.)

In the photo and video spots, Andrej, who's famous for transitioning between female and male aesthetics with ease, mugs for the camera in a monokini and long blond braids as men wearing ski masks kind of chill out in the background. Oh yeah, and there's the "CUNT" that's emblazoned on his baseball cap.

Adeen's website proclaims, however, that the word is actually an abbreviation for a more innocent expression: "“The C*NT hat pays homage to RuPaul in general and the message from his show, Drag Race, that one must always have Charisma, Uniqueness Nerve and Talent!"

It's not like Adeen's products give the impression that it's a tame, conservative company, so we're hardly shocked that they've made a hat with an expletive on it. (Adeen's website also lists for sale a knit cap emblazoned "Pretty bitch.")

But still, it's a statement few designers dare to make.

Eh. It's a word. Reclaim it if you hate it so much, then no one can hurt you with it.

I never have cared much for that word. It is almost always used with hatred and contempt. An unfortunate choice by the designer, in my opinion.

He needs to have "the big chop" and get it over with.  There is nothing even remotely masculine or androgynous about this one.

'Conservative Christian' is a complete oxymoron.

What's really funny is that he is a more attractive woman that Rumer Willis!

In these times when American women are suddenly under vicious attack from the right wing, wearing a hat emblazoned with a word that is pretty much only used as a perjorative for women is not amusing to me.

This whole "fashion" (haha) culture is tacky and misogynistic.
If you buy it then I guess you know what you are.

I wasn't certain if a surgical sex change procedure had been done or not. But yes this is my first time seeing this model.

I absolutely adore Andrej for embracing his natural androgyny. He's incredibly beautiful.

Yes, indeed.
