Why do short models insist of doin Runway?
Why do models who are short for High fashion runway (below 5'9") keep insisting they want to do runway work? May 31 07 01:35 am Link Why do people complain about someone elses dreams? Why did you choose that lady for your avatar? May 31 07 01:37 am Link SWEETFACE SHOTS wrote: its not about dreams,it about the fact that High fashion Runway jobs are done by models 5'9" -5'11" May 31 07 01:40 am Link May 31 07 01:41 am Link Imajin Studios wrote: 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? May 31 07 01:41 am Link Imajin Studios wrote: 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". May 31 07 01:41 am Link UdoR wrote: 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?

May 31 07 01:44 am Link Lol! When I was leaving a designers studio I saw the winner from I forget which year...the guy with the tattoo on the neck heading down the street towards the studio.

May 31 07 01:54 am Link Image K wrote: 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 May 31 07 01:55 am Link thats an offensive way to put it. When i was little and decided i wanted to do runway i didn't know i wouldn't grow to be that tall!!! i didn't know i would miss the minimum height by 4 inches. I thought I was pretty tall for my age. So yes it's still a dream. Just because they insist on doing runway does not mean they will. Plus there are still many opportunities to do runway even as short as i am. I am doing one for a hair show next month and possibly another one in Louisiana (pending on my audition results) anything is possible. are you a runway scout?

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). May 31 07 01:56 am Link If someone is a high fashion photographer then your clients aren't worried about short models, and def not worried about them being on their runway for you to shoot. *shrugs* May 31 07 01:56 am Link SWEETFACE SHOTS wrote: you have it all wrong mister, trust me i'm not worried at all May 31 07 01:56 am Link this topic is must be a product of bordom. lame May 31 07 01:57 am Link Emagination wrote: there you go someone contributing to the topic May 31 07 01:58 am Link Imajin Studios wrote: For the same reasons that some of them want to be a model.
