High-fashion agencies will very rarely look twice at a model that doesn\u2019t fit their strict height and body shape requirements. This is because high fashion designers and brands believe that being over 5&#8217;7 for a girl and 5&#8217;11 for a boy is the best possible height to show off their clothes. They also feel that if all models look similar then people will be focusing more on the outfits rather than the individual.<\/p>\n<p>You only have to look at a catwalk show to see that all the models who feature together on the same show look similar. They will usually have the same build and height so that they can be styled to fit the designer&#8217;s brand. It\u2019s less about individual personality and all about the collection; each model is chosen to help portray whatever vision the designer has come up with.<\/p>\n<p>High-end agencies tend to be stubborn. Instead of embracing diversity like catalogue and high-street designers, they are old fashioned in their thinking and have not shown much scope for change.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7852\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/shutterstock_316439000-min.jpg\" alt=\"am-I-too-short-to-model\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/shutterstock_316439000-min.jpg 667w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/shutterstock_316439000-min-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/shutterstock_316439000-min-46x69.jpg 46w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Catalogue_Modelling\"><\/span>Catalogue Modelling<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Just because the high-end fashion industry is strict, that doesn&#8217;t mean the whole modelling industry is the same. Particularly in recent times, more and more companies are looking for models who reflect a far more relaxed and achievable beauty.<\/p>\n<p>Shorter models are finding it easier to create successful modelling careers. While there are a rare few who manage to break into high fashion, most are successful catalogue, parts or high-street models.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Famous_Short_Models\"><\/span>Famous Short Models<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As brands appear to relax their requirements, agencies too are able to look for models who represent a more diverse range of looks. This means that more shorter models have managed to get signed to top agencies.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there are a select few who managed to get signed before the relaxed rules and despite their shorter stature. Kate Moss (5&#8217;7), Twiggy (5&#8217;6) and Anja Konstantinova (5&#8217;5) were all shorter than the requisite &#8220;ideal&#8221; height at the time of their heightened careers, but their persistence and hard work meant they made names for themselves despite the adversity they faced.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Short_Models_Agencies\"><\/span>Short Models Agencies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For short models looking to make a break into the fashion industry, it&#8217;s important to get signed to an agency. An agency will help a model to book jobs and find work.<\/p>\n<p>Before applying to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/what-is-a-model-agency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">agency<\/a>, it is important that you know their height requirements. If you do not meet this height (or are not even close) and have definitely stopped growing, it&#8217;s important to understand that you have a diminished chance of being accepted. Feel free to apply anyway, but don&#8217;t be disheartened if you are rejected &#8211; you must be realistic.<\/p>\n<p>There are some agencies who work specifically with alternative models. Do some research and find agencies who work with shorter models; you will have a far easier time being accepted by one of these.<\/p>\n<p>You can apply to as many agencies as you want, as many times as you want. Look for availability &#8211; agencies who are on the lookout for new models are far more likely to sign you. Wait at least 6 months before applying to the same agency.<\/p>\n<p>Ensure your portfolio is up to scratch. Include photos of you looking lean and tall; if you can prove you are able to do this in photos, you will be more likely to be booked.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7855\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Untitled.png\" alt=\"am-I-too-short-to-model\" width=\"1000\" height=\"715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Untitled.png 1023w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Untitled-300x214.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Untitled-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Untitled-97x69.png 97w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Be_a_Short_Model\"><\/span>How to Be a Short Model<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The principle of each modelling niche is pretty much the same. A lot of models have to work extremely hard to carve a successful career, which is the same for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/petite-modelling-height-and-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">petite models<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The most effective way is to apply to agencies who accept 5\u20192 models and above. Either attend an open call or fill out the application found on their website.<\/p>\n<p>It is vital you have a stand-out portfolio to help you get noticed, too. Include plenty of shots to show your diversity as a model.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Petite_Can_a_Model_Be\"><\/span>How Petite Can a Model Be?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The typical petite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/what-are-model-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">modelling requirements<\/a> are between 5\u20192 and 5\u20196 for female models. Short male models do find it more difficult to find work in the industry as women can add a few inches with high heels.<\/p>\n<p>Petite model measurements are also very important depending on the niche you wish to enter. A 5\u20193 model may have a large chest and hourglass figure, which is desired by the glamour industry, whereas a 5\u20194 model may have a tiny frame, which is more suited to petite fashion brands. A model&#8217;s physique as well as their height is taken into consideration.<\/p>\n<p>Models under 5\u20195 or 5\u20196 can also enter the body part industry, as height isn\u2019t as important. The main concern is the body parts in question and if they are suitable for the product in promotion. If you have a great pair of legs or slender, smooth hands, you may be able to make a career out of your attribute. Both men and women can become body-part models.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7853\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/shutterstock_342660452-min.jpg\" alt=\"am-I-too-short-to-model\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/shutterstock_342660452-min.jpg 667w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/shutterstock_342660452-min-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/shutterstock_342660452-min-46x69.jpg 46w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Short_Males_Model\"><\/span>Can Short Males Model?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately, shorter men tend to have a trickier time in the industry, but it isn&#8217;t unheard of. Runway may be out of bounds but catalogue, fitness, TV or body part modelling may be available to shorter male models.<\/p>\n<p>An additional factor is who you are modelling with. A stereotypical image would usually prefer the guy to be much taller than the girl (who remember might be wearing heels). Acceptance will depend if the duo works well together, or if you are modelling independently where your height will not be highlighted. Photos can be digitally manipulated, but this costs brands money and time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_Be_a_Male_Model_at_59\"><\/span>Can I Be a Male Model at 5\u20199?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately, there is no set formula as to whether a 5&#8217;9 model will succeed. The catwalk may traditionally favour towering heights, but there are always exceptions to the rule. <span>Aaron Frew is represented by <a href=\"http:\/\/d1models.com\/\">D1&nbsp;<\/a><\/span>Model<span>&nbsp;Management and measures 5&#8217;7. He has worked with Calvin Klein, Vogue and Hysteria Magazine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If modelling is your dream, give it a try &#8211; but focus on other niches where height is less of an issue. In the high-fashion world, your 5 foot 9 inches will most likely be exposed amongst the giants already on their books. Don\u2019t be intimated; apply to top agencies initially and move on if the answer is no.
