Ricardo Tisci on the Givenchy muse and only tranny on our list, "She’s always been very feminine - super-fragile, very aristocratic." [WWD]

She's been most compared to David Bowie, an androgyne's androgyne.

He laughs it off when people on the street call him ma'am, it lets him do things like pose as Warhol's Candy Darling in Interview. "It’s not so much about being androgynous; it’s more about being a person and not boxing yourself into anything. Life is so much more fun when you just let go, and do the first thing that pops into your head. Go take the water taxi if you’ve never taken it. Go to the fucking Target in Brooklyn if you’ve never been to it." [the cut]

Prettier than 98% of the girls in the world, this boy is the absolute darling of the industry. To be clear, Andrej states, "I don’t want to be a girl, but I like to dress as a girl." [daily mail]

With a soft gaze and sharp mind, this man likes to avoid the term "male model", and he fully accepts the industry's need for the skinniest, "I understand why models are skinny and tall, most designers worry about sizes after the work they do in the drawing room... But I'm sure it was difficult then for weak, tall or skinny people during the middle ages. I feel lucky my parents have passed on genes where I am the size I am but it's just the way it is. I would be just the same if it were different only maybe not being interviewed by you." [essential-homme]

Her short dark chop and narrow features read gorgeously masculine. At times, she wonders about her own success, " “When jobs come up I'm still... Wow! Weird! Sometimes I see myself and I have no idea why they booked me.” We know why.

Former lover of Angelina Jolie, her look is tough as nails. On Mrs. Pitt, “She loves women too much. It's like a drug and she was hooked. Angelina loves danger and dabbling in the dark side. That's where she gets her kicks - not playing happy families with one man.”

This Indonesian male model uses his soft eyes and plush lips to channel his inner woman. He sees himself more as "an androgynous petroleum engineering student who trapped in fashion industry."

Gaunt and hard, her Croatian face is a total Bowie. Her favorite food? "Pizza and onion rings." [vogue] Sounds like a dude to us.

With a head of wispy blonde locks and a look that whispers Cate Blanchet, he surprises us with this lawful fact, "I have completed my first year of a Law/Finance degree, although it appears as though perhaps it may eventually be put on hold as modeling opportunities continue." [pagesdigital]

Thanks Fashionologie!

Raquel Zimmerman successfully plays both gender rolls in these Jean Paul Gaultier Fall ads. Raquel has always been a bit androgynous looking with her sharp cheekbones and pointed nose but this short haircut and masculine styling takes the look to the extreme. I’m loving the masculine/feminine dichotomy in these ads. This is proof of a versatile model and a versatile collection.

Forget the Yves Saint Laurent cage heels and the Chanel bow-tie heels, the next shoe to covet is undoubtedly Christian Louboutin’s studded Rollerball Loafers. In light of the androgynous trend, Louboutin has combined the transition from heels to flats as well as the stud obsession into the ultimate casual gone glamorous shoe. Prepare to suffer the wrath of backorder, because these $995 puppies, despite the recession, are sure to sell out during pre-order! 

Pre-order your Christian Louboutin Rollerball Loafers at Saks Fifth Avenue here! 

Thanks for the tip IS MENTAL!

Leave it to Marc Jacobs and Juergen Teller to come up with another kooky ad. The Marc by Marc Jacobs’ fall shots are out and feature a cute LBD with large bow detail. The overall effect’s a little Breakfast at Tiffany’s, down to the dark shades and chunky jewelry. But the twist (and with Marc there’s always a twist): The ads feature top male model Cole Mohr in said cocktail dress.

Personally, I hate most Marc Jacobs ads, but this one really hit me. A definite statement, compared to previous ads, this defines where fashion is going these days: towards more and androgynous clothing. NOT saying that I would like to see a dude in a dress, or skirt, or tights, but anything goes these days, and if you are daring enough to do something outside of the box, you get my respect.
