Erika Linder

Andre Pejic은 여자 같은 남성 모델, Erika Linder은 남자 같은 여성 모델.
이게 fucked-up 이든 아니든, 나는 판단하고 싶지 않다.
막말로 태생적으로 그렇게 생겨먹은 걸 어쩌라고! ㅋㅋㅋ 타고난 능력(?)을 자기 직업에 활용하는 것 뿐이잖아.
Androgyny interests me, that's all :P 나는 그저 눈으로 즐기는 걸 즐길 뿐 ㅋㅋㅋ
사실 남자 같은 여자는 여자인 내 눈에 매력적으로 보이기가 참 쉽지 않다.
오히려 남자 같지 않은 여자들 중에는 내 눈에도 섹시하고 매력적으로 보이는 사람들은 있지만 말이다.
Erika Linder는 진짜 잘생긴 미남 청년 같다! ⊙_⊙

Androgyny in fashion is nothing new. Designers have been sending women down the runway in sharply tailored suits and dressing men in kilts and skintight pants for decades. But recently, a crop of models has gained notoriety for building careers posing as the opposite sex.

Take Andrej Pejic, the angelic-looking blond who's modeled bridal gowns for Gaultier and was named one of the "100 Sexiest Women in the World" by FHM magazine. Or Casey Legler, the former Olympic swimmer who is now signed to Ford's male model division. Pejic, by the way, is a man. Legler is a woman.

And then there's Erika Linder, the star of this new campaign from Swedish label Crocker by JC Jeans Company. Linder, who came to prominence after appearing in Katy Perry's "Unconditionally" video last fall, works as both a mens- and womenswear model. (Her Twitter bio aptly reads, "I have too much imagination to just be one gender.") Now, in Crocker's gender-bending "Whatever" video, she's doing both.

At first glance, "Whatever" doesn't come across as anything particularly remarkable. It opens with an emo-looking young man strolling into a photo shoot, where he catches the attention of a pretty woman. The man sits down in front of the camera and begins to disrobe. Then, with the help of a hair-and-makeup team (and some hair extensions), he is transformed into the same woman with whom he previously shared the screen.

By now, of course, we've realized that both the "male" and "female" models are one and the same. Linder transitions between roles so seamlessly that her double appearance could be easily missed if it weren't spelled out for us. The moment the on-screen transformation begins, however, both "Whatever" and its star become far more compelling than your average fashion ad or model.

"By starring Erika as the model for both male and female styles, we want this collection to inspire creativity and confidence as we set out to break new boundaries within the fashion industry," the brand says. It's an interesting move for a mainstream retailer, given that this type of androgyny is generally reserved for high-fashion editorials (though it's worth noting Sweden is very progressive when it comes to gender equality, having even added the gender-neutral pronoun "hen" to the country's National Encyclopedia last year).

Here's hoping that the trend continues.

Kate Perry의 뮤비 Unconditionally에도 출연했었군. 덕분에 Kate 양 노래 첨 들어봄 ㅋㅋㅋ
(요즘 대중음악은 국내가요나 해외팝송이나 내 귀엔 다 똑같이 들린다. 
재미없음. BOOOOOOOORING!!! 그래서 안 듣게 됨 - _ -)

 

 

 

 

 

젊은 시절의 레오나르도 디카프리오가 연상되기도 하고, 
터미네이터 2의 에드워드 펄롱이 연상되기도 하는 미소년 같은 이미지다.
