How tall should a fashion model be? And can I be one of them with 169cm height and 51kg weight?

Answer 1

You are not tall enough to be an international runway model -- the minimum height starts around 177 cm (5'10"). You will do much better if you concentrate your efforts on catalogue modeling.

Your weight, 51kg (112 pounds), while normal for a regular person, may be a little on the high side for modeling. To be successful you may need to drop five pounds or so. This will depend on your frame and how you photograph more than anything else.

Answer 2

Tall Fashion Models

Answer 3

High Fashion ( Runway )
This for the tall and thin bodytype. This is a very strict division of modeling because all the top designers only make their new designs in certain sizes and if you are not those sizes then you obviously cannot be a top runway model.Requirements
Age between 15-22 yrs old, Height 5'8 - 6'0, Hips 36 or less, Average wieght 108-125lbs.
Remember exceptions are made, Kate Moss one of fashions top models is only 5'7".


Promotional Modeling (Or Swimsuit / Beauty Modeling)

Promotional models do just that, they promote a variety of products at events such as trade shows, malls, conventions and more. The Coors Light twins or Budweiser girsl are a good example of promotional models.


Requirements
Promotional modeling is a fairly open field with very little restrictions. Models are 5'0" and up, 18-35 yrs old, have a great figure, very attractive and have an outgoing personality because they do a lot of speaking.

Commercial Print

Print models represent a wide range of products and services such as shampoo, insurance company ads, cars and a lot of the things you see advertised or for sale. Because they represent such a diverse range of products the models are also diverse in how they look.
Print models can range from 4 years old to retirement age. Print is by far the largest percentage of modeling jobs in the industry.

Requirements
Unlike runway models, print models typically range anywhere from 5'3" to 5'10", which answers the common question "How tall do I have to be to model?". . They have a wide face, great teeth, good skin, even facial features, proportionate bodies and high cheek bones

ps.
most or europe has set a standard for runway models to have a bmi of at least 18
hope this helps
