Kate Moss is a classic example of she just had the right look, I did not pursue the modelling as I really really did not like the environment or the lifestyle, but I was inundated with offers, and again I was only 5ft 4.5 and Indian, but my face was different It was strange becuase in the Indian modelling circuit I had little success, but in the western market I did, they just liked my face. Agencies just do not make it public as they would be swamped with girls and woman who think or want to model who are less than 5'8. Clients will ask for a particular height, preferring 5'8 and above, so that is why height is lied about, once you audition and get to the shoot they don't care, especially if it is your face they are interested in. I too was being asked to model, what it is to get modelling contracts at a height less than 5'8 is rare, the preferred height is 5'8 plus, but if they like your face they will bend the rules. I met Kate Moss 11 years ago (so she was in her late teens) and I was shocked at how short she was, however she could have grown since then as she was younger, at the time we met I was 5ft 4.5 and she was no way in a millions years taller than me. The television show of Tyra Banks is not completely accurate to the world of fashion and models, is a show.Īs for Kate Moss, I saw a photo from years ago with Claudia Schiffer (around 6') in Cannes, and the difference is huge. All of them are high fashion models, not tall but have everything else and can overcome what for others would be an obstacle. Look for models such as Bambi, Laetitia Casta, Sasha Pivovarova, Audrey Marney, Mona Johannesson, Barbara Palvin, Hannah Holman, Zippora Seven, Devon Aoki. Yet there has been and will be a lot of catwalk models that not reach the 5'9 or even 5'8. The minimum height is required especially for the runway, catalog and other not so necessary. There are plenty of models that are not between 5'9-5'11 which is what is required to be a model, just look at Victoria's Secret models. YES, agencies require a certain height, but there are models who lie about their height and that if they have anything else to be a good model, they simply put obviate that fact, dont' check it and they usually listed as 5'9.Īnd there are other great girls contrated by the agencies without care about their height because they have everything else, the IT thing. If she were fat her bone structure wouldn't stand out as much so her waifishness became instrumental in her career. This is what makes her so photogenic and successful. This is a lot more rare than most people realize (especially without plastic surgery). Kate has slightly wonky eyes and a less than perfect nose BUT her general facial frame and structure is near perfect. The 5 main points of facial structure aligned almost exactly within the two photos (chin, hairline, forhead, jawline, cheekbones). A group of graduate level art students at SFAI did a study where they laid a translucent photograph of Kate Moss over a portrait of Marilyn Monroe. Weight is significant because thinner people with thinner faces reveal more angular bone structures. The only thing that matters (when it comes to the perception of physical beauty) is bone structure. Obsessing over a few inches of height when Moss' height had virtually nothing to do with her success.
