Tall models

[Just^Fabulous]

Yeah, I once read that the tallest people in Europe are found in the Balkan region.

Damn, how come I'm 5'6 then???
So is Tiiu still the tallest out of all of them?

someone said catherine mcneil is always a really tall one too, and i belive it. she always looks massive next to other models. she has to be at least 6'0.

Hmm.. I don't know. Cat is tall indeed but to me she looks a solid 5'11 (maybe add half an inch) - considering that many models are shorter than their listed-height, she probably appears that much taller next to them.

^I definitely think Cat is 5'11.5.

yeah, and a lot of models that are actually 6'0 and above are downgraded to 5'11. I could easily tell the height difference when there's a model that's listed 5'11 and she's standing to her or them.

Well, seeing that pic (and 5'11 Abbey standing next to her) I think you really could be right about Cat being more than 6'0

lol i was just going to post this pic, because abbey is 6.0 imo, since in most of the pics with 5.11 models i see, she's a little taller

I think it's really hard to tell when comparing models because a lot of them are not the heights they say they are and of course the way they are standing can affect things. Freja is supposed to be 5'10 and I would say in this pic Cat is about an inch taller than her.

But, I've seen pics of the 2 where Cat looks 2-3 inches taller than her, so I don't really know what to think.

look at their shoes, cat has little heels compared to freja

I'm from Serbia and I'm 1.83 but it's still quite tall

 

[akasha:D]

and no,it's not so easy to find a girl taller than 1.80,but it's possible

^I am pretty certain those Fendi boots they are wearing are the same height and in the last picture posted Cat is in heels and even though we cannot see Freja's feet I assume she is wearing flat shoes or boots as usual. I think Dutch people are supposed to be tall.

 

[nijuyanah]

Yep, it indeed looks as if Cat's wearing heels and Freja flats in the last pic. Still, I'm pretty sure that both of them are tall but Catherine really seems to be a giant (maybe not like Karlie, but still). It's always so tricky to tell someones height by just a picture anyway...

So, models over 6' tall (182 cm?

Michelle Buswell
Oluchi Onweagba
Ana Beatriz Barros
Karolina Kurkova
Hana Sokupova
Tiuu Kuik
Alexandra Tomlinson
Irina Kulikova
Elise Crombez
Stella Tennant
Ana Hickman
Dji Deng
Jodie Kidd
Beverly Peele

I knew about Tiuu, but all these others are over 6'0 ? Even Ana BB ?

 

[nijuyanah]

Well, compared to other (5'11) girls they defenitely seem that tall. But I'm not sure about Elise tbh... But you can add Karlie Kloss and Taryn Davidson to that list for sure!

Iris Strubegger is another tall one. She always towers other models that are 5'11

[nijuyanah]

Iris once said in an interview that she's 183 (which is about 6'0 I think?)

 

[Thanatos]

^Yeah, thats like 6ft 1/2, I didn't know she was that tall.

 

[soymilkfreak]

So Im not sure if my guessings are correct but I think both Alyona Osmanova and Frida Gustavsson are around 6'0 or a little above even though they are listed as 5'11
they always seem towering over other models.

here's Alyona and Anna S

it seems like Alyona is wearing heels and Anna is on flat sole though. Perhaps? It still worth mentioning I think.

Here is Frida in the background compared to (once again ) Anna S.

catwalking.com posted by *Bianca* in Anna's thread

While Anna is on heels and is supposedly 5'9.5, Frida is standing bare-foot and still looks a little taller or almost the same height. Plus Frida is quite young, she's only 16 if Im not mistaken, so she still may grow and really became over 6'0
