For commercial modeling like for edc. or benetton, or some other shops or makeup, do you have to be tall?

i heard 170cm is the minimum height for models..and lower than that is not acceptible...what about for commercials...not catwalking ...but just the ads for clothing...do you have to be over 170??For commercial modeling like for edc. or benetton, or some other shops or makeup, do you have to be tall?
Usually, but if there's something so special about you and they really want you, they could make you look tall by camera tricks.For commercial modeling like for edc. or benetton, or some other shops or makeup, do you have to be tall?
no for commercial modeling its not required but some companies prefer a taller model so don't be surprised if you get a few rejections.
Its not as much of a concern but it's a competative industry and you're competing against tall people who are highly sought after. The taller girls will still often be first considered for a job of course but in this case, it's a litlte less rigid. The important thing is to be well proportioned. You can have long legs without being tall, for example. I'm only five six and i was with an agency for a few years. I was too small for the catwalk but because my proportions are right and everything else satisfied, i was still able to get some good work. Mind you, I did this while in school. I never once had any idea of making a full time career out of it. I'm not sure if i could have made a living out of it. Paid well (Hats off to Linda Evangelista for fair pay!) but not regularly :) I also didn't get any huge contracts and probably wouldn't have. I'm just too small.





So inquire at an agency? They know what they're looking for and there is room in the industry for smaller models too. If the job opens up, they'll let you know. Did you ever consider hair modeling? I started in hair. I was asked to do an expo and from there i was able to get an agent and more work.
am afraid yes but there are exceptions in this rule!!! so try it
