Why are you bothered about it? They can insist all they want but the truth is they won't be hired on a larger show....What's your point? If you see one on some sort of a runway what is YOUR issue with it?

Why do models who are short for runway (below 5'9") keep insisting they want to do runway work?

If you're in a smaller market, short models CAN, technically, do runway. I've been in several fashion shows and I'm 5'6".

But that's not the kind of "runway modeling" most models would be referring to, I'm sure.

That's not my point Udoh. He's asking why they insist but it doesn't deny the fact they won't get hired. So what's the point of the thread?

Exactly! There is the larger market, but there are local shows. What is it bothering him for?

I happen to think it's garbage to not make a podium and using the floor as an excuse, but i'm not making threads about it

Why not ask short people why they want to do it. Why ask people who can't answer like the persons you're questioning...

I can contribute because I think it's garbage. Its always ok to say not to use certain people as model examples BUT yet they're on runway and looking good on it and not at the height of good ol' 5'9.

I also say I digress I can't change the industry and it is what it is.

well if you happen to notice i posted under models hoping they can answer the question, but you seem to be the expert, so why don't you enlighten me

The point of the thread was to get people irritated.

In your case, it worked.

What is worse? The person that started the stupid thread, or the ones that keep posting on it?

Lets see... i'm a model...I am a fashion designer AND now a photographer, I think I might know a few things...

I'm not even irritated! I just find it SO amazing that someone is worrying about someone that doesn't affect them in their line of work

i just think people get irritated to quickly around here, i guess it doesn't take much to do so

It's simple: They aren't educated enough in how the business works yet, and they associate the best modeling with runway, so they feel that since they want to model, they should say they want to be fashion or runway models. It will only be when they see just how the runway shows are set up (stage-wise) that they will be able to see that they wouldn't fit, due to the fact that people in the back wouldn't be able to see them on the stage, and it would be useless for them to even try (other than small market mall shows).

Atleast, that's my take on it. I've been there...only I never wanted to do fashion. I modeled a while back, don't do it anymore. I found my niche behind the camera instead.

Errrr... I am sorry... but I think that you may not have read my article at all.

Because IF you'd know a few things... and they were industry based, you wouldn't use arguments like this:

I have no idea...

Shorter models shouldn't be discouraged though.  They can still have successful careers in commerical, artistic, and glamour modeling...which mostly consists of 5'5-5'8 ers.
