Frequently Asked Questions:

Why do models have to be tall?

Only fashion models have to be tall, and even then, exceptions are occasionally made for exceptional people. One of AMTC’s top models, Charlotte Dodds, was only 5’4” when she came to convention. Mena Suvari was 5’1”. In the commercial print industry, all ages, types, and sizes can get work, as long as the model has a marketable look, intelligence, the right pictures, a good agent, determination, and the personality to succeed.
