The 23-year-old, who underwent gender reassignment surgery in January 2014, appears on the cover of marie claire Spain.

Pejic has been modelling since the age of 16 and has been instrumental in challenging the way the fashion industry looks at gender.

In 2015, the Bosnian-born Aussie model participated in a documentary about her journey, saying she felt it was worth the risk if it meant helping other people going through the same thing.

“I never imagined wanting to get this on camera,” she told Dazed & Confused magazine.

“But Eric [Miclette, the director] said, ‘All this stuff is happening, we should capture it.’ And, with a documentary, you can’t really script it out. What happens to you becomes the story. It was a lot, but I came out on top. It was a risk; I didn’t necessarily know that was going to happen.

"A lot of young people grow up confused and feeling like outsiders, different from their family and everyone around them. It’s a lonely life and I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t like to feel a little less lonely. That’s why I decided to do a documentary,” she added.
