" I WANT TO MODEL, WHY CAN'T I GET 'ANY' WORK??

 

One of the biggest hangups for most hopeful models is the concern that they are too short to make their dreams happen.  They may be attractive, photogenic, have the right measurements and meet all of the other requirements, but have been told by someone or some agency that they are too short to model.  So why is that?  Why can’t models be short?  If a hopeful model had everything else going for them, could they overcome this height dilemma?

Well, first of all, let’s identify as to why models are supposed to be tall in the first place.  Marketers have long understood the power of visuals.  They realize that there is real significance in getting people to envision themselves within clothing and the idea is to give them the best visual imaginable.  So as you might have guessed, this happens to come in the form of seemingly tall and attractive people; otherwise known as models.

Now without spending too much time here, tall and slender is more desirable to designers than short and boxy.  Designers just simply prefer tall (5’8″ or 5'9" and taller) and slender males and females to display their clothing.  It has a bit to do with the flow of the clothing and the full drapery of each article making a complete demonstration of the article being presented.

It's all about marketing the product or service. It's the clients money that is being spent and they select where and how it is spent.
