There are definitely people out there who believe a guy measuring 1.80m and weighing only 45kg modeling as a woman is pretty pathetic, but for his fans and people from the fashion industry, Stas Fedyanin is perfect. The rising star of Russian modeling is often compared with Andrej Pejic, another androgynous male model known for posing as a woman. Models spend a considerable amount of time putting together and maintaining portfolios, as well as scheduling and travelling to meet potential clients. A portfolio is a collection of a model’s previous work and is carried to all client meetings and bookings. Competition for jobs is strong and clients’ needs are specific, so patience and persistence are essential qualities.
