I want to be a model but I'm really short!?

Question

I'm 14 and people always comment that I'm pretty, skinny and always look good. But I'm really short, like 153 cm. Is it possible to become a model when I'm older? I've always thought how glamorous and awesome it would be to be in the fashion industry.

Answer 1

You don't have to be tall to be a model, unless you want to be a runway model. You can be short, or even average height and be able to model.
Also, exercising will NOT make you taller, NOTHING will make you taller (except heels) so don't listen to those two morons. You are only 14, so you have time yet. You have the chance still of growing a few more inches. And even if you don't grow any taller, or not much taller, don't worry about it. Work with what you have, have confidence in yourself...people will really notice that and will be more likely to pick you up to model for them.

Answer 2

It is possible to be a runway model if you grow. But you can still be in the fashion industry right now. You can do print modeling. Search local agencies in your area on google then you can submit pictures or attend an open call. Have Fun and Good Luck!

Answer 3

Models must be at least 5'7, but 5'7 models aren't always accepted. There's a chance you may reach that height, but if you don't, there's no need to sweat it.

There are jobs out there just as fun (in my opinion, more fun--but that's my opinion), that have the added benefit of serving the world at large.

P.S.--Even if you never get tall enough to model, have you given thought to studying design?

There are lots of short models... What kind of model do you even wanna be anyways...

And, if you arent ready to dedicate your life to modeling I sugest that you don`t go for it. Photografers are realy picky and they would pick an ugly girl and cake make-up on her and pick her over you because she doesent need to be trained or nothing, and all of her hear is in modeling...

I know it sounds stupid what I`m saying but I was a model when I was younger and even though it sounds stupid it`s true.

But I`d say go for what ever you wanna do =P

Answer 5

keep your dreams alive, no matter what your height is, look into modelling, do some research, maybe start with advertising that do the fashion catalogues and then start getting a portfolio. Start now, your young, don't leave it to late. First get your parents to help and back you up, get their support. I wish you good luck.

Answer 6

the glamourour side of modelling is only one aspect of the modelling world. you've got to be tough as nails to do it and know how to take loads of critisism. but that aside, photographic modelling is probably your answer- pictures don't care how tall or short you are- it's your face / shape they're interested in. good luck! go and get a portfolio made up to get things on a roll

Answer 7

I am a model but I am 5.6. whats ur height? You can be a model for magazines without showing your height as it really is. I am a ramp model but here height is important. But to model for mags and posters and alo campaigns, its easy to get in. Wait for sometime and see how it goes. Just make some contacts for now
