Tilda Swinton

Orlando forever

The film star and contemporary artist, belonging to an ancient Scottish family, has a fragile and painful beauty, behind which lies an almost sexless strength. Tilda, with her 180 centimeter height, translucently pale skin, angular android figure, universally emphasized by her resemblance to David Bowie and paradoxical androgynous grace, is a favorite model of advanced designers like the Zarathustra of world fashion Hussein Chalayan, as well as subtle directors such as Sally Porter, who She used the star’s gender ambiguity a long time ago by starring in the film “Orlando,” where she plays a person who has lived in both a male and a female body during her life.




Stas Fedyanin

People's hero

Stas Fedyanin, an androgynous fashion model and one of the most famous “victims of VKontakte,” like all people with a non-standard appearance, initially endured ridicule from peers and teachers. It also took several years for the parents to accept their son for who he was. The skinny teenager weighs only 45 kilograms and is 180 centimeters tall. Having become interested in the modeling business, Stas did not get off to the best start in Russia and moved to Germany, where people with broader views happily accepted him. Fedyanin participated in shows at Berlin Fashion Week and immediately received a number of photo shoots, interviews and offers to appear on the covers of foreign magazines. Despite his obvious homosexual appearance, Stas claims that he prefers girls as sexual partners.




Brian Molko

Reluctant warrior

Brian Molko, frontman of the late 90s alternative band Placebo, which was once discovered by David Bowie himself, began to look effeminate from an early age. His image developed as a protest against his parents, who suppressed his desire to become an artist. He wore makeup, dressed in dresses and had long hair. Brian's feminine appearance, aristocracy, intellectuality and contempt for the opinions of society have always been a challenge for his narrow-minded classmates. And now a bisexual narcissist with painted lips, eyeliner and silver nail polish manages to seduce even straight people at his concerts. The extravagant English rock star has repeatedly admitted in interviews that he feels like a “lesbian in pants.”




Genesis P-Orridge

Victim of art

The 64-year-old founder of the first-ever industrial band Throbbing Gristle and the long-time leader of another group, Psychic TV, Genesis Breuer P-Orridge demonstrates an experience of the beyond, mixing art and his own life in one radical gesture that has lasted for four decades. He also took a tough approach to the issue of gender: in the early 2000s, P-Orridge and his wife, artist Lady Jaye, underwent a series of plastic surgeries and had breast implants installed. The goal was to transform into a single bisexual being, a “pandrogyne.” After Lady Jaye's death from cancer in 2007, Genesis refers to herself as “we,” considering herself one with her late lover.




Edward John "Eddie" Izzard

Shameless showman

The English stand-up comedian and dramatic actor calls himself a straight transvestite and does not hide his sexual preferences. At the beginning of his career, he appeared on stage exclusively in women's clothing - dresses, makeup and stiletto heels. Izzard presented himself as a "professional drag queen" and devoted much of his speeches to the topic. The show Dress To Kill, created by the comedian in 1998, brought the actor two Emmy awards. But, many years later, Eddie swapped his heels for sneakers and became involved in charity work, running 43 marathons. Having replaced the image of an extravagant lady with a business suit, the comedian announced that by 2019 he was going to run for mayor of London from the Labor Party, but if he still does not collect enough votes, he plans to run for a seat in parliament.




David Bowie

Depraved genius

The British musician, composer and singer from the very beginning of his career, and subsequently, stood out sharply in his image, differing from asexual hippies, teenage angular punks and brutal hard rockers. In the summer of 1969, Bowie wrote the song Space Oddity that made him famous. While touring America, he began experimenting with an androgynous-alien look, walking the streets in dresses and other feminine attire, and dyeing his hair unimaginable aniline colors. Silk, avant-garde jumpsuits, non-standard makeup, the grace of Elien, carefully cultivated rumors about bisexuality: until the end of the 70s, David embodied not even an androgyne, but a beautiful alien.




Danila Polyakov

Neofric

Before working as a model, young Danila Polyakov performed with the Demo group and Valeria as a dancer. The beginning of my fashion career began with an acquaintance with David Bradshaw, director of British GQ and stylist for Prada. Bradshaw invited the Moscow model to a shoot consisting of female images. And everything started to spin: a page on FashionSpot, shows by Yohji Yamomoto, Junya Watanabe, Antonio Marras, Vivienne Westwood, Jean Paul Gaultier, a photo story of Steven Meisel in Italian Vogue and, of course, inexhaustible fame in his homeland: Polyakov judges in “Top Model in Russia” ” and teaches men to walk in heels. In addition to modeling, 31-year-old Danila is excellent at styling fashion shoots: look for confirmation in.




Prince Rogers Nelson

Prince in heels

One of the founders of modern rhythm and blues, better known as Prince, from the very beginning of his career began to shock the public with the unconventional appearance and provocative lyrics of his compositions. Due to his miniature height, which was only 157 cm, the artist received the nickname purple dwarf and tried to perform exclusively in heels. After he appeared as the opening act for the Rolling Stones in high boots, knitted gaiters, a bikini and a military-cut overcoat, fans of the rock band threw garbage at him, which only encouraged the King of the Blues to further shock the audience. But, despite all the media suspicions about his non-standard sexual orientation, the singer acquired a reputation as a real seducer, seducing the most beautiful women in the world. In addition to several marriages, the singer was seen in relationships with many stars, including actresses Kim Basinger and Sherilyn Fenn, singers Madonna and Carmen Electra.




Bill Kaulitz

Starter of the emo kids

When the Tokio Hotel group began to gain momentum and become increasingly popular, heated debates broke out in the media every now and then on the topic of the gender of its vocalist Bill Kaulitz. Incredibly popular in the late 2000s, pop rocker from Leipzig - a hybrid of Boy George from 1982 and the dragon boy Haku from the cartoon Spirited Away - would hardly have been warmly received in any of the residential areas of the metropolis, but for some reason he has gained universal popularity among teenage girls. Despite the semblance of a beard that Bill has begun to grow, the anorexic lead singer of the German band still looks like an anime character. At a minimum, young schoolgirls can take a master class from him on perfectly made-up eyes in the smoky eyes style.




Lana Wachowski (Lawrence Wachowski)

Was there a boy?

Until 2002, Lana Wachowski was a successful director Lawrence Wachowski, who, together with his brother Andy, directed the cult trilogy “The Matrix” and “The Connection”. Then Larry disappeared and Lana appeared. Wachowski admits that all her life she hated her own body and thought about suicide every day. After 47 years of silence, Larry finally confessed to his loved ones about his addictions and changed his gender. The newly minted lady was even presented with a Visibility Award for her decision to end her reclusive lifestyle and openly declare her transition to the status of a woman. Now Lana claims that she lives in harmony with herself and is again married to a woman.

Surely not many people know what androgyny is and where its roots come from. In simple words, this is a person who looks like both a woman and a man. If you remember fashion shows or photos in glossy magazines, you inevitably understand that this term has, in principle, been known for a long time, but not everyone could understand how to express in one word the unusual appearance they saw.

Well, everything seems clear. Only this is just a small crumb of all the information that the fashion industry stores. In this article we will try to understand the depth of the term “androgyne” and open the world of fashion and show business from the other side.

Below in the photo, androgynous models are presented in the image of the 80s. Other images are also presented in this article.

Androgynous models: who are they?

Let's remember the 90s. In the 20th century, fashion was just beginning to flourish, and this wonderful world gave humanity such famous and beautiful people as Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell and many, many other gorgeous supermodels. However, as in any industry, changes have come to the world of fashion. Now try to understand at first glance: is this a boy or a girl? Your chances are 50/50.

The concept of androgyny came to public consciousness not so long ago. But information about it has existed for a long time. Plato also described super-people who were neither men nor women. Who are they, androgynes?

Now almost all boundaries have been erased, and therefore everyone can express themselves however they want. But the old-school public does not always warmly perceive new trends. Androgynous people persistently move forward and try to take their places in this world. In principle, many people do this well, although their appearance still causes mixed feelings.

The world of the podium is a wonderful field for the realization of such personalities. Every day, models with extraordinary appearance are becoming more and more in demand. This is not surprising, since an androgynous model can participate in both women's and men's shows. These are ordinary people, during whose creation the universe probably messed something up. A born boy feels like a girl as he grows up, and vice versa. Or maybe the girl grew up to be feminine in all respects, but she just got a boyish appearance.

In any case, the modeling world is filled and replete with the brightest and most unusual characters, and let’s get to know some of them better.

Androgynous model Ranya Mordanova

Baby Ranya was born in Ufa. The poor thing was unlucky with her appearance, so as a child she was often bullied by her peers. Unable to withstand such bullying, the girl switched to home schooling. Ranya was always interested in the modeling business, and her unconventional appearance was liked by some fashion designers, who helped the girl start her career on the catwalk.

It’s interesting that she quickly and rapidly burst into the world of fashion. And by the age of 20, she already had enormous popularity and considerable experience working with the most famous fashion houses. Her photo and catwalk collection included such famous names as Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Hermes, Missoni. Also, the already famous supermodel managed to appear on the covers of the most fashionable glossy publications: Vogue, Elle, Dazed & Confused and many others.

Rain Dove breaks all stereotypes

Dove is on the list of androgynous female models, despite the fact that she has an impressive masculine appearance. This model is a prime example of gender confusion. Rain Dove has broken all stereotypes and can absolutely easily transform into a man, which is very clearly visible in the photo. She is almost two meters tall, and on the street the girl is often mistaken for a man. Although Raine herself doesn’t care at all about this.

Once she had a complex and considered herself an ugly woman. But all the sorrows are in the past. Now she is an androgynous model, at the peak of demand among modern models. In addition, Rain actively participates in actions aimed at protecting gender differences.

Danila Polyakov: wearing stiletto heels, like family heels

By the standards of beauty in the fashion industry, this red-haired guy has the most gorgeous features. They perfectly highlight the male model, androgyne Danila Polyakov. Danila was born in Moscow and became the fifth child. Since childhood, he always loved to stand out, and the mark of a black sheep did not bother him at all. On the contrary: he loved to surprise and sometimes shock.

From the age of 15, the guy actively took up dancing. Further known is his work with DJ Groove, Valeria, as well as participation in the Demo group. One day Danila came up with the idea of ​​becoming a sexless model, because there were prerequisites for this. Stylist Galina Smirskaya helped the guy and opened up good prospects in the fashion industry. Very soon Polyakov became in demand in Russia, he appeared on the catwalks under the brands of such famous names as Moshino, Fendi, Vivienne Westwood.

Andrei Pejic: “To be or not to be?”

Andrey was born into an absolutely decent family. But from an early age I began to feel unnatural in my body. Born in the body of a boy, he felt like a girl in everything. Of course, the family saw the gentle and feminine features of the guy’s face. Therefore, one day they insisted that Andrei try himself as a model. And it worked. I really liked the guy with the girl's face.

At his first show in Sydney in 1999, Pejic created a sensation. Thanks to his bright androgynous appearance, many mistook him for a girl, but the show was for men. Since then, Pejic has had a meteoric career. He collaborated with the most famous fashion houses, and still collaborates with many.

As Andrea Pejic now admits, since childhood he was troubled by the thought that he was still a girl and not a boy. And having achieved financial stability, the guy finally decided to have sex reassignment surgery. In 2014, Andrea officially asked to be addressed as a woman.

Graceful Italian Roger Garth

In the case of Garth, nature, perhaps, definitely mixed up all the cards. Roger has the most feminine appearance that only a girl can have. They say that it was with Roger that genderless fashion began, and after his shows the term androgynous model began to be actively used. His grace and femininity knows no bounds. The guy built a very successful career in the fashion world. His works with the biggest names are known: Calvin Klein, Versace, Dior, Prada, Masatoma.

In his native Italy, Roger was once awarded the title of the highest paid male model in the country. Garth also actively appears on television. It is noteworthy that, despite his androgynous appearance, Roger is heterosexual, as evidenced by his multiple affairs with women. And there is information that Garth has a child.

Scottish Stella Tennant

Stella Tennant is a member of royal blood. She was born into the family of the Dukes of Devonshire. The girl has a very proud and independent character. One day, her unusual androgynous facial features were noticed and she was invited to appear in a photo shoot. Since then, the androgynous supermodel has been constantly receiving invitations to shoot for various famous brands.

In 1999, the girl married the famous French photographer David Lasnet, and currently she has four children. By the way, neither pregnancy nor childbirth prevented Stella from continuing to conquer the fashion industry. Today the girl is one of the leading models in England. The model's latest work has been featured for famous Vogue and Chanel. And for Karl Lagerfeld, Tennant is an inexhaustible muse.

The world of androgynes

Androgyny, perhaps, in modern times has become not only a physiological indicator, but also a fashionable expression of its essence. Young people are trying hard to stand out from the crowd, coming up with different, sometimes shocking, images. This new trend of self-expression did not bypass the factor of androgyny. A girl wants to look like a boy by wearing wide jeans, sneakers and a shirt. And guys are becoming more and more like girls, hugging their hips with elastic leggings, carrying a pretty handbag under their arms and straightening their bangs with a slight movement of their head.

What can we say, a century of freedom and self-sufficiency. Androgynous people evoke a variety of emotions - delight, surprise, rejection, bewilderment. This only proves that such individuals are really interesting: they are interesting to watch, interesting to read about, and many of them create completely full-fledged heterosexual families.

Nowadays, among doctors, psychologists and ordinary people who have nothing to do with medicine, there is a constant debate about what androgyny is. This is a kind of duality that can manifest itself in appearance, behavior, character and many other aspects of a person’s life. Of course, this trait is not fully characteristic of each of us, but often we notice some beginning within ourselves that has nothing to do with the gender given to us by nature.

How did this term come into being?

Androgyny is the bisexuality of the body, soul, and behavior of a person. This is the feeling when in one body there are two principles at once, fundamentally different, but capable of complementing each other and coexisting together. This is exactly what each of us can learn from ancient written information, which was compiled mainly by the ancient Greeks. The Holy Apostles, who contributed their work to writing the Bible, spoke about human sexual duality. However, it is sometimes extremely difficult to understand the words of our ancestors, so such a concept as “androgynous people” appeared only when psychology became an independent science. It was Carl Gustav Jung who introduced society to the concept that traits are different from those of women. By tracking which qualities a person has more, you can determine the degree of his androgyny. In other words, you can understand how “masculine” the character of a certain woman can be and vice versa.

Basic laws of duality of personality

Nowadays, androgyny is a full-fledged psychological concept that is based on certain patterns. The first of these consists of the bipolarity of human nature, each criterion of which claims to be dominant. That is, one person contains both male and female character traits, regardless of what his “biological” sex is. Most often, natural gender coincides with psychological one, which is what gives rise to such judgments as “a typical woman” (for example, representatives of the fair sex are overly concerned about their appearance, no matter how dry and strict their character may be). If “male” moral criteria predominate in a woman’s body or she perceives the world around her the way a guy should, this is already a sign of androgyny of a person, which, of course, finds itself in a person’s appearance.

Optimizing the Androgynous Personality

Such a process begins, of course, with spiritual qualities. First, a person’s worldview, his type of behavior, habits, and manners are formed. If a teenage boy exhibits certain feminine traits in his behavior, you should also pay close attention to his appearance. Often a similar trend is caused by androgynous appearance, when it happens that the figure appears to be both masculine and feminine at the same time. As they say, everything is balanced in nature, so it is not surprising that a guy at a young age, having a fairly feminine appearance, gradually acquires a weaker character. However, it is worth remembering that this is not at all a sign of sexual disorientation, since an androgyne is, as a rule, straight or, in extreme cases, in the sexual aspect he prefers both sexes at once.

What androgynes might look like in real life

Such a biological miracle as androgyny is, first of all, hard mental work for those to whom it is characteristic. The fact is that a person who has, so to speak, an average appearance, balancing between masculine and feminine, as well as a similar character and manners, must choose what is closer to him. And this choice may not be made in favor of biological sex, strange as it may seem, and at the same time the sexual orientation of such a person may remain extremely natural. It’s just that sometimes it’s easier for a man whose appearance is dominated by soft features typical of the fairer sex to be a girl to those around him, but at the same time remain a true gentleman at heart.

A deeper look at this theory

Each of us has an internal dialogue that can be balanced or contradictory, even a little scandalous. These two “subpersonalities,” whatever one may say, are divided into the dominant and the subordinate, or the one that is located on a deeper level, inaccessible to outsiders’ perception. Let's try to look at this using an example of how androgyny manifests itself in women. In modern women, “that very fragile and tender nature,” as if their true nature, as a rule, occupies precisely that subordinate position, that is, hidden in the depths of the soul. A stronger nature, which is comparable to a man’s, has a dominant position. In turn, a modern representative of the stronger sex may seem indecisive and lethargic, since his leading sub-personality is characterized by feminine criteria. But his subconscious is the complete opposite of this, thanks to which balance is restored. Based on this balance, people of the opposite sex are attracted to each other, regardless of what appearance they have or what they are more developed in them.

the way you are?

Often, even in our time, a person with a “middle-sex” appearance causes bewilderment, ridicule and gossip in society. In this case, it’s worth paying attention to very famous models who have exactly these appearance features, conquering not only magazine covers, but also the hearts of fans. Today, one of the most famous is the androgynous native of Australia, who has Serbian and Croatian roots. Being a tall man and having an athletic figure, his face looks incredibly feminine and gentle. Repeatedly he appeared as a standard model on the catwalk in order to present the next masterpiece of one of the world's designers. And it’s worth saying that Andrey always showed exclusively women’s collections. Among the androgynous models there are also girls who, on the contrary, have a boyish appearance and sometimes even a figure.

An androgynous image will help everyone

In order to determine your own nature, moral inclination towards a certain gender, you need to try yourself in different roles. We are not talking about an operation that allows you to change gender, but only about a style that manifests itself in clothing, hairstyle and, of course, in a person’s behavior. Sometimes girls who feel uncomfortable in this world, for whom something is not working out in their personal lives, change their appearance, and immediately everything gets better. In particular, we are talking about short hair, more discreet clothing. The wardrobe should be dominated by trousers and shorts, not skirts. But it’s worth remembering that these things should remain feminine, at least in their cut. A man, on the contrary, can afford to grow his hair long, wear unisex clothes and wear appropriate jewelry. It’s worth remembering that you won’t be able to please everyone, and at the same time, you should never suppress your essence. Therefore, in the form in which you feel comfortable, you will be more likely to find the person who shares your worldview and outlook on life.

How do you know if you are androgynous?

American psychologist Sandra Bem in the middle of the last century developed a whole theory about how human gender becomes established and how this trait is determined. If you want to find out which group of people you belong to, take the test she created, which consists of a series of questions that are simple and understandable to everyone. As a result, it will be possible to calculate in percentage terms which traits in your nature are more masculine or feminine, and in accordance with this, build your future life, look for your style and people who will like your androgynous appearance, who will support you, understand and will share your priorities and views.

Outrageousness is one of the main “drivers” of the modern fashion industry. And the entry of androgynous models into the forefront of fashion seems quite logical in this context. So the legendary characters, in which the masculine and feminine principles are combined, today seem to have “materialized” from Plato’s myth... and appeared on the podium. More precisely, they “materialized,” of course, much earlier.

It all started in the 70s, during the singer’s creative heyday David Bowie, who was a person “without gender”, or a third gender – a chameleon who easily changed shocking androgynous images. But if in the 20th century androgynous people were shocked on stage, in cinema or on the theater stage, now the era of fashion-androgyny has arrived.

In the field of high fashion, androgynes have practically no equal, since only they can embody both male and female images with equal success and talent.

On the catwalk, the hypertrophied femininity and unusual plasticity of these “men” are multiplied by a much more expressive texture than that of the girls.

Designer clothes fit much better on tall, long-legged and flat androgynous women than on girls, no matter what ideal model parameters they have.

So let's get to know them - those who go beyond boundaries, break stereotypes and never cease to amaze!

1. Andrei (Andrija) Pejic

22-year-old Andrey is the most androgynous star, the most famous of the models of this special “category”. This Serbian, who has lived in Australia since childhood, distinguished himself not only for his dizzying modeling career, but also for the fact that got into two ratings at once - both the sexiest men in the world and the sexiest women.

His talents don't stop there. He is an actor, designer of his own jewelry brand, a favorite of Marc Jacobs and Jean Paul Gaultier, as well as the face of advertising campaigns for Chanel and Prada. He has repeatedly conquered the world's catwalks and graced the covers of the world's best publications. And this summer he attracted even more attention than usual. Because Andrey became Andria - the androgynous model “legally” became a woman, having undergone sex reassignment surgery.

2. Roger Garth

This androgyne with an angelic face and golden curls hides her age. According to some sources, he is a little over 30, according to others, about 25. As befits any girl or the one who plays her role, Garth is a complete mystery. It is known that he was born in Rome, but not Italian, but half French and German. He worked as a TV presenter and actor, but became famous thanks to the scandalous Calvin Klein advertising. He also worked (and continues to collaborate) with Prada, Versace, Dior, Masatomo.

3. Christian Bril

The 29-year-old Dane began his ascent to the modeling Olympus in 2006, when he was noticed by the famous British photographer Mario Testino. After this happy acquaintance, a photograph of the androgyne graced the cover of British Vogue and a long-term collaboration with Gucci and Hugo Boss began.

4. Danila Polyakov

Danila is the world's most famous androgyne from Russia, a red-haired beast 195 cm tall. Is there really a female model in the world who can compete with him in this?

Polyakov is a shocking fashion model, a scandalous fashion model and an actor with absolutely no complexes, a stylist, a designer of crazy costumes and an expert on the “Russian Top Model” show. He participates in the shows of Gianfranco Ferre, Gaultier Homme, Gilles Rosier, John Galliano and other famous fashion designers. At the age of 31, he has reached such heights in a male modeling career that no one else in our country can even dream of!

5. Stas Fedyanin

This beautiful “girl” is in her early 20s, her height is 180 cm and her weight is 45 kg. Excellent parameters for the anorexic world of high fashion! Only this, as you understand, is not a girl, but a guy, and our compatriot. Stas Fedyanin has been working as an androgynous model in Europe for a couple of years now.

These amazing people conquered the world with their uniqueness.

For those who don't already know, an androgyne is a person who does not fit the definition of either a male or female gender role. Many androgynes identify as either male or female or asexual. Our today's heroes do not hide their true nature, and do not fear that society may not accept them. They are who they are and you can’t help but admire that.

1. Willie Cartier

In 2010, the world learned about a talented androgynous model who advertised the autumn-winter clothing collection of the Givenchy brand.

Now 26 years old, he is still considered the sexiest man among models on social networks (he has 118 thousand subscribers). Today he receives many applications from world-famous agencies.

It is interesting that Willie Cartier’s extraordinary appearance is the result of a mixture of French, Senegalese and Vietnamese roots.

2. Erica Linder

By the way, at the age of 14 she was offered to sign a contract with a modeling agency, but Linder refused, explaining her action by saying that she wanted to remain a tomboy and not turn into a “commercial princess.” However, at the age of 18, the androgynous beauty became a model for the large Scandinavian agency MIKAs.
