Here's the link that I've been looking for, for a very long time:
Some solid facts and figures ABOUT HEIGHT from the top echelon of the modelling world:

If you want to read some more invaluable info on the industry here's the actual site link:

Although it's discouraging, there are a few ways you may be able to get catwalk:

e.g. Be a hair model for a large inner city Hair Salon graduation show (height doesn't matter, at least not here in Sydney)

Offer to do catwalk for free for a local fashion design school's end of year show.

Perhaps certain bridal expos need petite models to display the smaller designs on the catwalk.

Something I recently aquired is catwalk for a vintage show in Sydney. The women of previous eras were tiny so they need tiny models.
THERE IS HOPE LOL

Hey girls! Absolutely love this topic. I can't believe it was started 3 years ago and is still going. Shows that in 3 years, we're still not seeing petite models in our favorite fashion magazines...
Have a look at my blog, I'm trying to understand how this can change and I'm also giving it a go myself. I'd love to hear your stories about your careers within the industry. I'm looking to write many articles on that.
Get back to me :)

Hello, Pretty People!

My name is Lee, and I stand at a proud 5'2". It's not short. It's fun size! Despite the lack of agency standard height, I still manage to work with some amazing individuals. Still kicking it in the industry, and I couldn't be happier!

Best of luck to everyone!

- Lee
