Modelling Is it For Me???

Question

hi my question this time is, could i become a supermodel since i am 112 pounds (8 stone), i am a uk size 10 but i am only 14 and at the height of 5ft 3 or 5ft 4? doctors told me that i may grow to be 6ft or 5ft 6 or 5ft 7. i think i could be a model possibly cos i have been offered to become a model at the age of four when a photographer was takin pics of me and my sister, but my mum wanted me to have a childhood. she said that i could try to be a model at 18, by that time i will have finished growing.

Answer 1

Assuming you're a girl, you may stop growing by next year and the only way to predict your, probable, height would be by having x-rays taken. Why don't you wait until you're 17 and think about modeling at that time.  Meanwhile, you should be applying yourself to your studies as beauty, without brains, won't get you far.  My friend, Elizabeth, was a pre-med student at Oxford when she was discovered, at age 19, and was a house model in Paris (Pierre Cardin) plus international runway model for two years and then quit to get married.  She, now, has two children but wishes she had continued her education instead of marrrying so young.  Note 1:  Elizabeth is 6 ft. and used to weigh 56 kilos (8.8 stone) - she now weighs 63 kilo. . your height, and weight, are exactly what I am but my measurements, in inches are, 35,23,36 and as I'm 71, don't think I'll be growing the required 6 inches taller while maintaining the same weight, anytime soon.  A friend has 3 daughters all of whom did catalog  modeling for about 4 years.

Answer 2

as long as you grow...you should be able to attempt modelling. You will probably have stopped growing by the time you are 17 (most girls stop growing a couple years after they get their first period). If you dont grow tall enough, you could always be a catalogue/magasine/print model instead of  a runway model. Good luck

Answer 3

You can try anything once!

Answer 4

What do you look like?  To be a supermodel you have to have something very unusual about you - something that no other girl has.  Minimum height for a catwalk model is 5 ft 8.  Also you have to know a bit about fashion and have a certain natural style.  Some girls start modelling as young as 14.  

Just because you were cute at 4 doesnt mean you are cute now why dont you post a picture so we can have a look?

Answer 5

sure it is you sound pretty modelish

Answer 6

You can try it but whether you can be a SUPERMODEL is another matter. You might be able to make a career in modeling but supermodels are few and far between.

You will only really get taken on at 18

5"7' is way too short - 5"9' minimum

Answer 7

modeling is for everyone if u reli want to do it try it and if u dont like it then u can quit :]

Answer 8

I think your mums right Becoming a model isn't excatly easy its a awful world to be in . They'll make you a size 0 if you want to do run way. If you want to do magazines they'll airbrush you to perfection and the person you see in the magazine won't be you. I think you should think about this after all theres going to be alot of size 8 and 5ft 7 girls wanting to be models.

Answer 9

what ever you want its a free world.

Answer 10

I was told that I was too short at 5.7 and too heavy. I weigh 110 lbs.

I was going for high fashion and runway, they told me to come back when I lost 5lbs. I told then to eff off that's too thin.

Answer 11

Seriously 5'3 and 5'4 is too short to be a model

Answer 12

Devon Aoki is 5ft 5 and she is a supermodel. anyway I think you can model. but wait till you are a little taller. Supermodels tend to have unique features about them. eg. Linda Evangelista.so you need the unique look as well.
