Hello Nathan;
Although 6ft is preferred for most runway models, nothing is etched in stone. Commercial, Fashion and many other areas are open to under 6 footers. DON'T allow yourself to be pigeon holed or excluded from a certain area your interested in. If your interested in runway, learn how to do it well. If you have the walk, look and attitude, it may be enough to overlook the height "problem".

It's about time a change was made though:thumbup:

The height thing is basically discrimination & it basically let's designers make the mistake that the average male height is 5'8" to 5'10" & average female height is 5'5" to 5'8", so effectivly is un arguably height discrimination from the fashion industry:doh:

I remember the point in time in the UK where plus size female models got a lot of good press & Evan's became a big name on the high street, with more than 35% of the 18 to 26 British female population over a size 16 it certainly changed the fashion industry in the UK towards bigger women:thumbup:
So the height thing will change if not in 2009, in 2010, starting here in the UK:thumbup:

Yea, are there any agencies out there who don't care about my height?? I applied to ones that even had limits on their site.. I'm 5'3" (160cm) and if anything I could be a petite model. I haven't heard anything from the 5 agencies I applied to yet and it's been more than a week. There aren't any more in the Oregon area that are close enough. Too bad I don't really live in Chicago... Is there something wrong with my polaroids?

I think what matters most is your skill. I have seen some successful "short" models

In short no, it's not. If you're closer to the 5'11 mark then you can try high fashion agencies; though, expect rejection but don't give up. Commercial modeling is an option. Read up on www.newmodels.com. Happy New Years
