i would guess that people percieve moedls as more fashionable since they link up lanky physiques with stylishness in their head. most clothes are actualy made for shorter womenw ith thicker, somewhat atheltic frames (like a shortened sienna miller). the use models cuz they will nevr fillout the clothes--- so the viewer notices the pieces vs the mannequin. celebs like kate hudson, cate blanchett, jessica alba, nicole ritchie--all have managed to pull off tons of looks. they are not that tall or as thin as modelsmk and ash are just microscopic. aren't they under 5ft?
