i'm 90 pounds 18 and 5'3 do u think i could be an abercrombie model i'm blonde and i have mid sized boobs

Question

i fit in a 12 at abercrombie kids thats how small my waist is

Answer 1

You're 18, and only 5'3" -- your growing is almost done. You're too short. Sorry. Give up this dream, and maybe go into nursing, or something that would REALLY help society.

Answer 2

Well I would consider asking an Abercrombie agent. It is true that short people like us (I also am 5'3") don't get a fair chance at the whole modeling thing. Considering that you are 18 I think you are too old to model for just Abercrombie. For Abercrombie they usually have younger models.Try A&F. You also have to have a cute face too.

Answer 3

I think you might be a little too short for modeling..most models are at least 5'7" and above....and unfortunately, looks are a big factor, not only hair color. A&F is known for being bigoted, and highly critical of their models...they must meet strict criteria and requirements....as are other clothings "lines". There are definitely more "important" jobs out there than being a model for A&F...that is for sure. Also you should be a little more modest about yourself..."mid-sized boobs"?...not very classy.

Answer 4

Unfortunately, you are too short. There are a lot of girls out there who are 5'7 + who are just as skinny, with nice breasts and a good age. Generally, tall girls are the ones chosen for modelling because sample size clothes are made for tall girls

"The average female commercial print model is 5’6 ½” tall"

"We did an analysis of who was actually requested for commercial print work, based on thousands of castings. A great majority of the time, height was not specified, but when it was, 96% of requests were for women over 5’6” tall."

If you are Asian, you may have a better chance of being hired than any other race

"The bottom line is this: Except for Asians, the market for young female models under 5’5” is vanishingly small, much less than 1% of the market. With rare exception, a taller girl can do pretty much any print job; a shorter girl is limited to a very small subset."

"Fashion agencies want tall models. Commercial print agencies in major markets may have a variety of heights, and so accept shorter models. But agencies in medium and smaller market cities generally are “hybrid” agencies which book a lot of commercial fashion work, and that sets the baseline for their needs.

Many non-fashion clients don’t much care about the height of their models. If models were all 5’4” tall that could be just fine for them. But there are three reasons why print agencies don’t carry many short models on the books:

1. Even though “short” may be OK, a large height disparity between models used in a multi-person shoot is not OK. Since most models are on the tall side, it’s more likely that another tall model will fit in.

2. Very few clients will object to a 5’9” inch model – but many will not want to hire one at 5’3”. So the taller girls can do virtually all the commercial jobs that the short ones can, but the reverse is not true. Shorter models can only do a fraction of the work available.

3. In smaller markets, clients tend not to want to spend a lot of money on models. If they need taller models, they probably need to use an agency to find them. But if short models will work for them, as likely as not they will use family, friends and company employees, who are readily available in heights less than 5’8” (women) and 5’11” (men). Agencies know that too, and they don’t try to compete with the client’s niece.

Agencies don’t want a lot of models that aren’t getting much (or any) work – they would much rather have all of their models working as much as possible. So they want to sign models that can work in as much of the market for their type as possible. And that means taller models."


Sorry, but you have no chance.

Answer 5

For those that didnt get the question, is she small enough to model childrens clothes therefore looks are irrelevant. Perhaps she is actually having a dig at models being so skinny??

Answer 6

Don't let anyone tell you you're too short. I find that short women are very appealing, so I think you'd make a perfect model if the rest of you is suitable.

Answer 7

The Matt bloke is right. You might have a suitable figure, but your face makes a critical difference, given that this is a modeling gig.

Answer 8

Models suck. All they do is teach kids to be like them: skinny and perfect. Well not every one is like that so take this into consideration before you do anything.

Answer 9

Try to do the best you can. If you get in cool, if not, try and try again if that really is something that you want to get into. Good Luck!

Answer 10

I don't know if anyone can be a model at just 5'3".
