TRANSGENDER model Andreja Pejic has hit the catwalk for the first time as a woman, a year after undergoing sex reassignment surgery.

The 23-year-old model, formerly known as Andrej, walked for designer Giles Deacon at London Fashion Week with dramatic black lips and a slicked back do.

The Australian-born beauty shared snaps of her debut on her Instagram account, including one of her on the runway.

"It feels amazing to be making my runway debut for one of my favourite British designers #Giles. Thank you to @kegrand and @guineapiggiles #thereturn #LFW," she captioned the sultry snap.

The Serbian-born model, who underwent gender reassignment surgery in early 2014, also shared photos of her cosying up to models such as Kendall Jenner.

"Backstage ki-ki #LFW @kendalljenner #Giles," she captioned the backstage selfie with Jenner.

Pejic rose to fame as a male model in 2010 when French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld cast her in a womenswear shoot.

She enjoyed a successful career as an androgynous model before her surgery.

Pejic made her first public appearance as a woman in Melbourne in October last year, surprising designer Jean Paul Gaultier on the eve of the opening of his glamour exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria.

Gaultier selected Pejic to walk in both his men's and women's shows in 2011, saying she was one of his seven Australian muses.

"It feels good, it feels more right. I just feel very lucky to come back here and to be welcome back," Pejic told the Herald Sun about her transition.
