Best androgynous models of all time

Gender is no longer a limiting factor in fashion but a factor that makes runway shows that more fascinating and intriguing. Androgyny adds magic and mystery to the catwalk by breaking the boundaries and making us question what it is that defines beauty and gender. So lets go down the list of these iconic androgynous models that thrill and amaze us in every fashion show, photo shoot and billboard.

Andreja (previously known as Andrej) with her signature platinum hair, killer eyebrows, mole and strong jawline is the most famous and successful androgynous model of all time. Previously, as a male ''Andrej'' walked in both menswear and woman-wear runways before transitioning into a woman. Now, as a trans-woman she is the face of Make Up For Ever and her modelling career is ever so flourishing.

 Erika Linder, has the eyes of Leonardo Dicaprio and the cheekbones of River Phoenix. She is an androgynous model who's career peeked after starring in Katy Perry's lyrical music video for unconditionally. In the video, Erika tells a story not with words but with her facial expressions, that's a language that only a few lucky ones can master and she is one of them without a doubt. Erika has the power of making one feel so many different emotions just by a glance at a photo of hers. The truth of the matter is that she is able to make an almost supernatural connection with the person through her photos.
Erika Linder was previously in a relationship with Andrej Pejic, but currently she is in a relationship with Katy Perry's personal assistant Tamra.

Ruby Rose has become a heartthrob amongst the ladies after starring in Orange Is The New Black as Stella Carlin. This Australian androgynous model is charmingly beautiful with her tomboyish-rocker-hip style. She works the tomboy look to perfection with the contrast of her feminine facial features and boyish haircuts and clothing style. If Leonardo Dicaprio and Angelina Jolie had a love child, it would be embodied as Ruby rose for sure. From her strong prominent chin and strong jawline to her perfectly plump lips and tiny nose that have Angelina Jolie written all over them, to her piercing eyes that scream Leonardo Dicaprio, Ruby rose's beauty is transcendent and undeniable. By one glance at a picture of her and one is immediately and evidently infatuated with her.

Elliott Sailors is a female that models menswear clothing. Elliott's husband was one of her supporters when she decided to chop and shave her hair to become a menswear model due to her masculine facial features of a strong jawline, large prominent forehead and rectangular shaped head. She embodies the character of a man naturally and smoothly making it that more believable.
