Models Who Aren't That Tall

[foreverandnone]

other than kate moss, who is the shortest model with a legit agency right now?

Mona Johannesson is around 5'6". Ruslana is around 5'6" also. They are both with IMG New York.

^^ People really aren't very joke-friendly on this thread are they? Cause I could clearly see that you weren't being serious

It's a bit difficult when something is typed out to know if someone is serious or not, and besides, my reply wasn't even rude.

How tall is Stam btw? She has always look in comparison to other models her listed height. 5'9.5" at the lowest but people keep saying like 5'8". How do they get that?

She's always seemed like a legit 5'9-5'10 to me.

 

[vogueness]

I reckon she is 5ft 10 when you look at her with pics of other models

Oh c'mon Nina, Jessica won't get any shorter no matter how much you hate her.

I actually don't hate Jessica, I just think she's overrated. I used to be a fan of her in her 2004/05 era. I admit she has pretty features but I think she's boring now with the blonde hair. Also I'm not trying to say she's shorter, I'm just wondering why people think she is when she is so obviously 5'10".

A lot of people point out that she's proportioned differently. More torso..less leg

 

[ninanina19]

Really? Her legs seem long to me. I think it's because her legs are so muscular they look shorter.

 

[foreverandnone]

^ yeah, I agree with that. Her legs DO look shorter than most models, but I highly doubt she's below 5'9"

 

[ninanina19]

I doubt she's even below 5'9.5". Gemma is 5'10" or 5'11" right?

 

[vogueness]

gemma is definitely at least 5ft 10.5

what's considered "not that tall" anyway? is it anything below 5'7? because now it sure seems incredibly common to see anything above 5'7 on the runway, no?

i like stam, but she always looks about 5'8 herself...i just don't see any length in her neck or limbs. i'd really like to know what her real height is.
it really doesnt make a big difference anyway in my perception of her though because when one compares a 5'8 model and one who's 5'10 there's not even a significant difference anyway since the extra 2 inches are only seen in the forehead. it's not like there's a whole head-length gap of difference there.

2 inches of more height really isn't saying/doing anyway unless you're concerned with the direction that your eyes go at. i'm not used to looking at people directly in the eye since most people don't look at other people directly ....we all move our head and tilt our gaze to demonstrate our moods and soften our approach. so not being eye-level with somebody doesnt indicate their height to me at all, especially with people taller than me since it is common for them to slouch. in that case they're the one looking up at you, fooling you all the more about their actual height.

does anyone else think mentioning a half inch is silly? if you're so close to another inch, what difference does it make visually when a half inch is so small? i wonder why they think it's worth it in modeling to do say rather than just list a flat figure. mentioning three quarters to me is even more ridiculous...you're basically already there, no one's gonna notice!

what's the consensus on this? to hell with half inch or hail the almighty half inch? lol

I have no doubt Stam is tall, she is just slighly bigger in frame than other models, that gives an impression of being shorter than she really is.

 

[LUXXX]

Stam is surprisingly 5'10...she just has bad posture and smaller limbs...

 

[guiberger]

one thing im SURE of. All agencies lie about their models height.

 

[vogueness]

for sure

 

[cuteshoes215]

i know..i see the height and then subtract 1 or 2 inches

 

[Surfbunny]

one thing im SURE of. All agencies lie about their models height.

How tall is your sister?

 

[o0ceania]

that's cool about stam, but how can you be so sure that she is so tall?
your confidence in knowing this intrigues me
everyone other model's height is up for debate but stam's, eh?

 

[Mchunu]

I think there should be more uncertaincy with A LOT of models' height when there are models who are your average 5'11-5'11.5 for a model, like KK & AnaBeatriz, & still said to be really tall. There are very few that i'm absolutely sure they are their actual listed height, Like if you see Ana Beatriz or KK backstage or in candids they ALWAYS look really tall, even next to fellow models.
