No Height Requirements In This Industry

I was working an event the other night and a consumer came up to me and said I think you are too small to work in the modeling industry. I was 5'8'' with heels on. He told me he worked as a model in the past and that he is used to seeing tall, skinny girls. I then went on to explain that models come in all sizes, heights, weights, ethnicitys and that there are different types of modeling. Let's just say I definitely won this argument.

I think when people hear the word model they think tall, super skinny, walking on the runway like the Victoria's Secret Angels. Yes we would all love to be in their position but some of us just are not built that way. Luckily there are other types of modeling such as promotional modeling, print modeling (yes there are short girls in ads), parts modeling and so many others.

So how tall are some of the supermodels we look up to?

Naomi Campbell - 5'9.5''

Heidi Klum - 5'8.5''

Tyra Banks - 5'10''

Cindy Crawford - 5'9.5''

Elle Macpherson - 6'0''

Kate Moss - 5'6''

Marissa Miller - 5'8''

Gisele Bundchen - 5'10.5''

Laetitia Casta - 5'7''

Claudia Schiffer - 5'11''

This proves my point. Even supermodels range in height. I listed 10 models and the height range is between 5'6'' and 6'0''. Don't let anyone ever tell you that you can't do what you want to do. If you want to model try it, every client is looking for something different. Good luck!
