It has been reported that he was scouted just before his 17th birthday whilst working at a local fast food outlet, but he has also stated he was scouted at a swimming pool whilst still in high school in Melbourne, Australia. He is notable for his extreme androgyny and his ability to successfully model both male and female clothing. In the Paris fashion shows of January 2011 he walked both the men's and women's shows for Jean-Paul Gaultier and the men's shows for Marc Jacobs. In May 2011, Andrej's magazine cover for the New York-based magazine Dossier Journal - in which he is pictured taking off his shirt with his long blond locks in curlers - was ruled too risqué by US bookstores Barnes & Noble and Borders, which covered the image with an opaque sleeve. Concerns were expressed that customers would mistake him for a topless woman.
As of September, 2011 he ranks no. 19 on the models.com Top 50 Male Models list, and he was ranked no. 98 in FHM magazine's 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2011, an 'award' that caused controversy with a homophobic subtext that was removed from FHM's website.
