==Biography==
Born Andre Johnson in Newark, New Jersey, Andre J. was raised by a single mother in a housing project called Academy Spires〔Trebay, Guy. ("A Cover Girl Who's Simply Himself." ) ''New York Times'' (November 25, 2007).〕
For several years in the early 2000s, they lived in Los Angeles, California.〔〔Larocca, Amy. ("Look Book: Cheerful Muse Andre J." ) ''New York Magazine'' (March 4, 2007).〕 During those years, they worked at a boutique on Melrose Avenue and made three brief appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno segments "devoted to human curiosities".〔 They typically wore a fur hat, a hole-covered beige fishnet shirt, and jeans so low that they revealed their pubic hair, though they changed before leaving for fear of being mistaken for a transgender prostitute on their way home to the $60-a-night Sunset Strip hotel in which they lived.〔
They later moved to New York City "for the liberation, the freedom, the action" and worked variously as a perfume salesperson at Lord & Taylor, as a publicist for Patricia Field's boutique, and as a party host for the clubs Lotus and Hiro.〔 While on the street one day in summer 2007, they were spotted by stylist Joe McKenna, who was then on the phone with fashion photographer Bruce Weber.〔 With McKenna's encouragement, Weber decided to shoot Andre J. for French ''Vogue'', and Carine Roitfeld, the magazine's editor, deemed Andre J.'s photos the freshest of all Weber's images.〔 Roitfeld put a photo of the bearded Andre J., dressed in a women’s blue neoprene Burberry trench coat, ankle boots, and a cocktail ring, on the cover of her magazine.〔〔Bruce Weber, photographer. "Love Me or Leave Me." French ''Vogue'' (November 2007).〕 "There is not a special message in the cover, I just loved it," she said later.〔
