I am sick with a cold and can't sleep sad I decided to dedicate this thread to all the sucessful and determined short models on mm and beyond. This business is very hard and esp if you lack in height.

My hat goes off to all of you who keep following your dreams!

I have seen some wonderful shorties who are making  a name for themself on this site. smile

Yay to all of you smile

*I love tall models to don't get me wrong.. but just wanted to praise the unsung hereos* smile

The shortest model I have worked with was one of the best models I have worked with.  That was 12 years ago and we still stay in contact.  Striking and beautiful at 4'6".

Whooopp whhooopp for the shorties 5'4 here, however I always wear massive platforms so usually turn out the same height as the other models unless they ask me to take them off :-( I'm hoping they will eventually invent a tablet to make you grow taller, failing that I can always be stretched hehe! :-D

For me, it is never about the height, it is all about the look and the curves. If she has a nice body, I don't care how tall or short she is 0 - I am not shooting fashion here. Most of the best models I worked with are 5' 5" or under.

I adore short models, because I am super short myself (5"3).. I hate standing on stools, chairs, and tables, I tend to fall off of them like nobody's business.

I have to agree....  the best model I've worked with is 5' 3", gorgeous and talented. For me, doing glamour and nudes, height is not important, I've worked with fantastic tall models as well. One really big advantage short models have is that 34c breasts are rather large on a short model. :-)

That was a sweet thing to say! I'm 5 foot 1" and fully realize that I can't walk a runway, but I have other assets to bring to the table and I incorporate modeling as much as possible into my other line of work - costume design. So far it has worked out great and I appreciate being given opportunities in this business despite my short statue.

Any Petite models in the NYC area looking for an agency, come try out mine...www.flauntmodels.com  The agents are wonderful and they have a HUGE petite division.

There are other agencies as well such as The Fitting Room (thefittingroom.com)
and Crown Models (crownmodels.com) that have petite divisions. From my experience, commercial is the way to go if you're "short" (like under 5'8 in modeling). I've been pretty successful at commercial work, although there are times where you can get lucky and get some good fashion work.

Best of luck to all my fellow shorties out there smile
