From Nicole Pollard's tumblr- mordlust.tumblr.com

i am officially six foot two and a quarter inches

I guess that dispels all the height rumors!

Maria Borges who was a worldwide Givenchy exclusive this season is listed as 5'11" but honestly on the runway when she walked past Daniela Braga who is for sure 5'11" she was at least an inch or an inch and a half taller. Same goes for Roberta Narciso also from Angola like Maria whose often listed as 5'11-5'11.5" but there's no way she can be 5'11 and have legs like she does.

Maria is 1,82m FOR SURE. I worked with her.

Agree, Maria Borges is she's 5'11". I'm an assistant to a photographer; we worked with her as well. (she's everything by the way. so stunning)

Karlie Kloss must be 6ft or more. I once stood next to her at an event and she was towering over me (I'm 6ft myself!) and was way taller than the other girls there like Coco, Behati and was towering over male models too in her heels.

Karlie is NOT 5'11"

The supposedly 5'10.5" (according to IMG Paris) Jac doesn't really seem half an inch taller than the 5'10 (according to Ford NY) Kremi when they walk by each other in the same shoes at 2:43. I feel like Jac was 5'10.5" around the time she started and as a (still) growing girl, has probably hit the 5'11.5" - 6 foot mark by now.

Just some more proof of Jac's lofty height. She walks by Karlie (6'1-6'2) in the exact same height shoes, and doesn't look more than 0.5-1 inch shorter than Karlie here.

The brazilian model Tharine Garcia(who's 6 months to 16) is the tallest one in this picture,I think she's no less than 5'11

Met Grace Mahary while I was wearing two inch heels (making me 6'3.5" or 192 cm tall) and standing in front of her I barely even noticed much of a height difference and she was wearing flats, she's definitely 5'11 if not an inch more.

 

[Legolas]

^^ Thairine is around 180cm.

Grace is tall but definitely not a 6 footer. That would put her up near Karlie territory which she most certainly isn't.

A super tall model who hasn't yet been mentioned in this thread is Australian model Sarah Pauley.
Here are a couple of images to showcase how tall she is.
At Toni Maticevski she was at least an inch taller than Nicole Pollard who herself is a giant.
This girl is huge.

I find it hard to believe Nicole Pollard is over 6'2".
In the Fendi Fall 2013 finale she's a few centimetres shorter than Karlie so that would mean Karlie's pushing 6'3".
Not quite realistic. I think Nicole is a solid 6'1" max as she's only about 4cm taller than Cat McNeil.

I think at Fendi they all had different shoes, because on Nicole's tumblr she clearly states that she is 6'2 and 1/4 of an inch.

The shoes at Fendi were 'different' but the heel height was the same. She was 2 girls behind Karlie and Karlie was taller.
Also at DSquared2 Spring 2014 she was standing on the podium along from 6-foot Irina K and you'd be hard pressed to find over 2 inches of height between them. They looked exactly the same.
6'2 and 1/4 inches is almost 189cm
Just....no.

that pic of Karlie & Gisele is ridiculous. I am convinced Karlie is still growing.

Irina is like 6'1-6'2", I take Nicole's words for it, I don't think she would lie about being that tall, it's not exactly the best thing for a model to be as tall as she says she is.

I understand that which is what doesn't make sense.
If she is that tall, why does she not look it?
If she isn't, why would she say she is?

Irina is a giant but definitely isn't 6'2".
She herself has said she's 183 on her Formspring and that makes her a solid 6', which makes sense because she also said both Karlie and Frida are taller than her putting them at a good 185.
Look at Nicole next to Alana Zimmer in the Dior Spring 2014 finale and behind Cat McNeil (both 180) at Laroche Fall '13, there is just no way there's 9cm or over 3 inches height difference.
Remember, that height difference would be the same as say Sasha Pivovarova next to Toni Garrn.
Quite dramatic.

Also, 6'2" on the runway stands out like a sore thumb, think Tiiu back in the mid 2000s

Another tall girl is Timea Birkner, who I don't think has been mentioned in this thread yet.
Noticed her first at Givenchy this season when in the finale she made Jourdan look short
In the finale at JPG Fall 2013 Couture she was behind Frida and was the same height so I'm convinced she's a 6-foot-one'er.
Impressive.
Here she is with Anmari Botha and 5'11" tall Thana Kuhnen.

^ Great list.
add jourdan dunn. she says she is 6'

 

[ad31214]

I really can't get behind the idea that Nicole Pollard is 184, which is shorter than me. If she say's she's 6'2 1/4" I think she should at least be in the 186 category.
