It really annoys me that she refers to herself and other people refer to her as a "male model." She is a woman modelling menswear.

I don't think modelling menswear is sufficient, but male model is incorrect. Which is why my initial post was so awkward with the masculinely in it--she's not modelling menswear for women's bodies, she's modelling it for men. Just not as a man.

I think menswear model is sufficient, myself.

I subscribe entirely to feminine menswear, and I think the difference is material. Her market is your boyfriend, not you.

eta: and there have been plenty of women wearing menswear before whose audience was you

Speaking of menswear, I want a pair of black penny loafers with more than a trace of heel that are more men's style than women's, and wow, are they hard to find.

I am so convinced I can see Mrs Florrick's fake hair now...I can't even see Beyonce's weave.

Not in Fashion, though. There's no such thing as a woman wearing a men's suit marketed to women. Karlie Kloss in a pantsuit is wearing a very different pantsuit. Anyway, she's obviously modeling in the men's section, but is just as obviously not male.

FWIW, Wikipedia says that Andrej Pejic prefers female pronouns, so she's not a man modelling womenswear (which is what I had thought before) [link]

My final thought before going to bed (late!): There are women in the tenor section of my chorus, so the conductor does not say "The men sing X," he says, "The tenors and basses sing X." Just because they are in a typically men's section does not make them male.
