Models Who Aren't That Tall

^ I heard orlando is more like 5'10".

Just a random thought about Kate Moss. When she was going out with Johnny Depp, and they were spotted together, she was significantly shorter than he was, and Depp is around 5'8-5'9". Not very tall at all. So yeah, just thought I'd share that

Orlando is 1,80. What is that? 5'11 I think?

^ Woow... though she is slouching a bit in that pic, she look pretty small. I think her build makes her look taller, but I have heard she's more 5'8 then 5'9.

When Coco started out, her showcard said 5'9, so Chanel is probably no taller than 5'8 (as maximum)

its interesting when you read this thread and models aren't as tall as you think they are, goes to show having a good body w/ great proportions is equally as good as being 6ft+ mega giant!

 

[foreverandnone]

^ i seriously think even if your proportions aren't amazing, but your face is, it's just as good. I mean..most models are tall. There are just exceptions.

also when people start out in modellling they often haven't finished growing so inches add on as they grow taller!

 

[sethii]

hehe, on the runway Chanel looks as tall, if not taller than coco!

Long legs make a difference too. There's a model who was with Supreme who was listed somewhere as 5'8 and I thought she was like 5'11!

I think it all has to do with the legs if a model isn't as tall. Legs can make you look taller than you really are (even in person). I mean there are also tall people who don't look that tall but really are. Certain features can fool the eye.

i forget what it is called, but there is a scientific way to "graph" the perfect body proportions
i believe, on average, most models don't register as "perfect" according to this method, because their legs are, as a whole, much longer than average

^ huge generalizations there....but interesting all the same. i wish i could find the article where i read this

ahah. Unless they start at 13..i dont think so. growing stops happening after like 17 for women. You may get the odd inch or so, but usually that's not the case.

It may be the way it's shot. Supreme is always shooting bottom up, creating an illusion of longer legs. The way the model stands, the heels, if shes wearing tights or not. You know trick photography. My agent told me to take polaroids like that...and to wear gel insoles to add height ahaha

On another note..omg! supreme has a girl who is shorter than 5'10" (178cm)? what?!?!? THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END. ehehe

It was actually in an editorial and it was on her level and she just looked so tall, lol. Oh I know, lol, I was like wait is this right . Oh gel insoles can make one look taller? Interesting. I'm already a giant in 2inch heels though .

 

[foreverandnone]

^ they wont really make someone look taller. But its just in case the agency measures.

 

[foreverandnone]

Ahh Irina. You baffle us so.
Finally, a legit photo. Coco is in flats, Irina is in flats. She is standing in front of Coco.

Coco is like, what? 5'9"-5'10"?

and in this one where they are both in heels.

*pretty sure these photos are from 77visions

Orlando can't be more than 5'11... Miranda looks to be about 5'7-5'8 to me.

Someone on this forum (who was a model) once said she met Miranda who was really small

 

[matthaeus123]

I'd believe that Miranda was 5'7"

 

[foreverandnone]

...seriously? She looks so...tall.
I believe she's around 5'9"
