Androgynous models:
Perhaps just as much as the title of this article attracts you- but beyond the myths, modesty, beliefs and skepticism we are facing a significant step of universal identification of human beings on earth, being androgynous.
Here is a glimpse of what the Gods and pop culture can tell us about how to take advantage of a race that, although almost "extinct", has been with us before our very creation.
The androgyne:
Two sexes in one being
Traditions of East and West, north and south, coincide, with a strange unanimity, that the first being who was born, lacked sexual differentiation. It was male and female all at once. The Greeks called it androgynous, Andros:
Man and Ginos: female
*******
Inspired Designers
The fashion and craze for androgynous models dates back decades ago when the house, Doir, during one of it's campaigns, showed two "women": one naked and another model with a suit. In our time, large firms such as Giorgio Armani, Calvin Klein, Pierre Cardin and Helmut Lang started designing "unisex" products. However, it wasn't until 2009 when a U.S. agency specializing in trends, said the androgynous or unisex style had began to cause uproar in the streets of New York among adolescents, then spread throughout the world.
The prototype of androgynous models is also present in the celebrity world, those whose features are rather similar to the opposite sex. For Example, popular singer Justin Bieber, who at the beginning of his career posed for the androgynous magazine, "Love"
Bill Kaulitz who is the image and vocalist of Tokio Hotel: at 23 years, he has strived to do other things, like; acting and modeling. He is considered one of the most famous androgynous men.
Andrej Pajic is the "Top Model" of the world, according to even fashion designers, such as Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger and Yoana Baraschi, the beauty of this man is "not of this world." Thanks to this "rarity", Pajic has modeled in multiple Runways such as, the Runway of his discoverer Jean Paul Gaultier in Paris in 2011, designer Custo Dalmau's runway in their collections NYFW for Spring-Summer and Autumn-Winter 2011, in the first he dressed as a man and as a woman in the second. He ensures that if necessary, he could get breast implants to Model for Victorias Secret.
The stereotype it sells
The growing presence of androgynous bodies in the media has caused discomfort among the most conservative-minded, who immediately feel the need to classify or censor everything. Beyond radical positions, the fact is that most viewers are used to seeing standardized bodies in stereotypical identities.
example of this new boom* is the new TV commercial for the Toyota Auris 2013 (known as the Corolla in most of the world), its main character is the Israeli transgender model Stav Strashko, a 19 year old born in Ukraine. In the video, Stav moves towards an Auris taking off her clothes, while the slogan : "not a trend, not casual, Not for everyone" appears in Japanese.
The morbidity: Advertising Strategy
it is impossible for a male model to replace the female structure of models, however, designers invite them to the catwalk to attract attention .. In some of the most famous Runways, that take place in various parts of the world, transvestites and transsexuals are those prevailing among the models, to the curious gaze of the spectators.

Scan and translation by TOKIO HOTEL ROCKS MY WORLD
From teen idol till fashion miracle!
Front man of once really popular German band TOKIO HOTEL has showed
real style transformation in past few years. This is how cute little boy
grew up in unrecognizable codger...
Bill Kaulitz has recently
came back with his brother Tom Kaulitz under the stage lights which they
left more than two years ago. Handsome boy used to draws sighs in the
whole Germany, and much more wider, but since he came back on the scene
recently, he shocked us with his appearance. Even though he had always
been famous for changing style, this time he even surprised people who
got used to his transformations... But, let's travel in the past and
remind how Bill changed through the years!
2005. Manga haircut,
made-up eyes, cool style - that summer 2005. Bill and his band Tokio
Hotel came to the center of attention and got a title of a teen
superstar. At the same time started complete hysteria for handsome
teenager, and other boys from the pop-rock band. With their single
"Durch Den Monsun" they were on the top of the top lists for 5 weeks,
and Bill fascinated millions girls.
2006. The first tour by
Tokio Hotel started, and Bill has already changed his style. He has
black extensions in his hair, fringes mostly comb to the opposite side,
make-up on the eyes is even more darker. Big fame that he tasted a year
before when he first came to the scene, was shacked after he was chosen
as one of the most irritating famous person in Germany.
2007.
After "Schrei" album from 2005., they released the second album called
"Zimmer 483". Bill looks more mature, his moves are more manly, and his
face more serious. Also, his hair is shoulder-length, and he has white
wisps and braids... Cute boy became real rocker!
2008. Bill and
his friends from Tokio Hotel takes a break and works on some other
projects. For example, he gave his voice in the movie "Arthur and the
Minimoys 2". Now the hair of a rocker is combed widely around his head,
and he wears black gloves on his hands. Girl still, or even more love
him. Besides that, he is idol for many teens.
2009. Public
pressure was bigger and the release of a new album "Humanoid" who was
announced for October that year, was late. Bill was often really nervous
in the public, pert and in a bad mood. All that you could see on his
look, his hair was raised high in the air, his kilograms are less, but
the number of his tattoos only keeps growing...
2010. New York, Paris, Moscow... Tokio Hotel are on the top of their fame! They have visited and had a concert in almost every European capital. Bill is working on his style even more, so he even becomes model. From the jeans he jumps into the leather pants, and his hair is stylized like never before. Once teen idol of generations now became world style icon. But, he can't stand and defeat the stress very well...
2011. The attack of haters are frequent, and the life in old fame doesn't give much joy like before. Together with his band mates, he's trying not to fall under the influence of mobbing by people who don't love them. Boys were in the crisis, and Bill loses few more kilograms... His style is now completely black! His health is not the best either...
2012. Lots of new tattoos, piercing on the piercing, colored hair, tons of jewelry, lighter colors, silk and leather... This is how Bill Kaulitz looks today! Some people say freak, some weirdo, but we would say real codger! Maybe we'll soon know what really happened him in these two years of hiding in Los Angeles with his brother. But, one thing is sure, the cute little boy from the beginning of the story is not the same person anymore...
Text on the pictures:
- When he started career, Bill was worshiped by millions girls
- Even when he let his hair down, he was really attractive...
- With his band mates he became a teen idol
- Years of a fame slowly leave traces...
- He shocked his fans more with his transformation than with his comeback in Germany...
