Tell me a little about
yourself
Dylan Peck
I’m from
Melbourne, Australia.
I’m a
professional model & actor. I also work as a make-up artist and beautician
in a salon along with many big events, doing make-up and teaching it. I’ve been
in the creative/fashion industry for quite some time so I dip my fingers in
lots of cool things, I help scout models also at times and also creative direct
a set or a campaign if someone needs a hand. In my spare time if I can
pencil it in I’ll teach aerial hoop twice a week also; it’s a great way to let
my mind go and just focus on aerial stunts.
How would you
describe your style?
Very Gender
fluid, Androgynous, mono chrome, and simple.

Hair: Gwen Borsato
Make-up: Love Hawkridge
Stylist: Vistoria May

How long have you been
identifying as being “Androgynous”?
For quite some time, I’d say
almost 10 years when I discovered properly what it meant and what it was to be
androgynous so I also used it to my advantage in my modelling career, as-well
as the platform was there so I thought to take that chance.
What is your favorite motto,
quote or saying?
I’ve always had a-few
when it comes to “sayings” or “quotes” I do say to myself sometimes “fake it
‘till you make it” or “tomorrow’s a new day and fresh beginnings”

What is your
ideal everyday outfit?
Model days it’s
black or like I said above mono chrome so I wear a lot of black and white and
mix and match. Being a make-up artists/ Beauty therapist three days a week in a
beauty salon it tends to take over my wardrobe, but I like black and I also
love white so that’s fine by me.
Do you have any
style inspirations or style icons?
I’d definitely
say Andreja Pejic. She really helped pave the way also for gender diversity
and help create the scene for a lot of us androgynous/gender fluid models.
Marilyn Monroe’s another one. I do love to learn about and get inspiration fromTerry Richardson. I love his wildness and his photography work is amazing!
Artistically I looove David laChapelle!

How
important do you think social media is to our generation?
I think it is somewhat
important if utilized for the right reasons and done properly. It can boost
businesses off all sorts of platforms to showcase whatever it may be these days
that your wanting the world to see. It gives you a chance to be heard and at a
level that can potentially reach high numbers, we’ve seen plenty of things go
viral in our time so if it can do that for the right things, I think it’s very
important. As well you need to use it properly and not do the wrong things, I don’t
like the idea of these people that use social media platforms to bully or post
hate and hurtful things. That’s where social media can suck and become nasty. Otherwise, yes I do think it’s quite important to our generation and really
everyone.

Do you have any
words of advice or inspiration to any individual who may be dealing with
adversity into coming into their own style?
I’ve always been
one to say to people and others to just go with the flow, do what you feel is right and how you feel comfortable. Taking things slow as-well, if you
don’t feel right or comfortable don’t force yourself to do it. Discovering
yourself and your own style can be a lengthy process and sometimes even be
confronting but just stick to your supportive loved ones and you should be
fine. Hey if you ever want to ask anything or need help or advice don’t
hesitate to contact me via social me!
Is there
anything you would like to say or would like the Androgynous community to
know?
That we’re not
all wanting to be transgender as that does become a confusion a lot of the time
and not that there is anything wrong with being trans it’s just that correcting
and educating some whom aren’t aware can help and can go a long way. So
remember next time you are unsure of something don’t hesitate to ask politely
and in a kind manner, clothes and fashion isn’t a crime so don’t take it so
harshly but remember to ALWAYS take it seriously. Dress to impress and be
yourself and thrive for what it is you want in life.
What are your
social media contacts?

peace.
