Models Who Aren't That Tall

no she was much taller than me maybe around 5 11

IMG lists Freja as 5'10" and Bianca as 5'9.5".

Looking at that photo posted previously, is there any way there is a mere half inch between them?

When modeling agencies think of what height to list their models at, they obviously fail to take a possibility of those models posing together backstage some day into consideration...

i was reading this interview of i think either a model or makeup artist and she said that as long as a model is over 5'9'', they usually list her as 5'11''. what's also very interesting is that the agencies do not even do conversions right. Very frequently, they will put 177 as 5'9'' when it actually converts to 5'10'' and mistakes like that.

^I wonder if designers care when they realize that a model is much short than her card says.

 

[BaroqueRockstar]

they're probably used to it

I think 177cm converts to 5'9 3/4 to be precise, so they can list such model at 5'9 1/2 or 5'10, depending...

I think Natasha is shorter then 5'10", or even 5'9"...I think she is around 5'8". She looks quite a bit shorter then most models on the runway.

I think Mona J is also shorter then the 5'6.5" she says she is. She looks tiny on the runway, 5'7" Sasha looks much taller then her, and a half an inch isn't a big difference.

^ I agree on Mona, but I saw Natasha on runway and she looked taller than everyone else that made me think she must be 5'11 at least or even taller than that...

 

[BaroqueRockstar]

looks can be quite deceiving, though
i saw cameron russel on the runway, and she looked just as tall as everyone else when in reality she's only 5'8''

I saw some random model doing a photoshoot in New York today and she was maybe 5'5"..

Sasha is 5'7??? I thought she was around 5'10!

I'm shocked about Irinas height.

Sasha is 5'7??? I thought she was around 5'10!

far away from that xD she's 5'7 she said it herself and irina is 5'7 because Lindsay lohan is 5'5 in flat and irina is taller than her.

I can see that, look at Hye Park.

I saw something on ftv yesterday that said karen elson is 1,73m ( I guess that means 5'8). I think that all the agencies lie about models' height, maybe I should go and give it a try, I'm 5'6.5(1,69m). I've always thought I was too short...

I think Mona J is also shorter then the 5'6.5" she says she is. She looks tiny on the runway, 5'7" Sasha looks much taller then her, and a half an inch isn't a big difference.

Mona is closer to 5'6 than 5'7 but rounding it she is 5'6.5''.

 

[BaroqueRockstar]

I think a lot of models are 5'8'': Karen Elson, Cameron Russel, Naomi Campbell, Caitriona Balfe, Luca Gadjis(she might be even shorter)

 

[KhaoticKharma]

^ Luca's agency (IMG) says 5'8, so she is obviously 5'7

Though I thought IMG were pretty strict on height...
