Average height for female models?

I’m thirteen and 5'4". What is the average height required to become a runway or advertisement model? Modeling has been my biggest dream since I was younger. Are there any reputable agencies that are good for beginner models?

Diana is wrong.

For high fashion, the minimum is usually 5’8″ or 5’9″. Runway prefers taller models that are rail thin. At 13 and only 5’4″, you would probably not get seen by any top agency. They’d tell you to come back in a few years if you grow 4″.

If you aren’t tall enough but have a gorgeous face/smile, then you can look into commercial agencies. Google for the SAG website and look for SAG agencies in your area. You will have to pay to get headshots made, but it should be independent of the agency, not as part of any ‘package’.

Barbizon is a school. You don’t need it to be a model. An agency that wants you will teach you most of what you need to know for free or for a very very low cost.

It depends on what sort of model. Fashion (catalogue, magazine, advertisement) models vary from 5’6-5’11 and not much taller than that. Runway models, the models most people think about, are meant to be clothes-hangers, so they are 5’7-6’2. This probably isn’t helpful because I didn’t average it out, but… I’m lazy.

5’7 through up is the average height to be a model. Also, you should try out for Barbizon Modeling. This is a modeling school for beginners. www.barbizonmodeling.com/ Go on their website and check if they have this modeling school in your area. If not, try to find modeling schools in your area that you are interested in. Modleing school will help you get to the next level. It helps you how to pose in pictures, walk the runway, acting, and much more. Btw, when you grow a few inches like probably 5’6 you can send in an application to Ford Models, Wihelmina Models, and Elite Models. Good Luck!

for adult models they normally expect you to be at least 5’8 and that might not be tall enough for runway, but getting into the industry earlier might make you a name and an exception, keep in mind the might though. There are millions of models in the world but you can only name a handful on request. from recent research, Storm seems the best for handling young models if they will take you.

Average height is 5’9-5’10.

Most agencies won’t consider you if you’re under 5’7.

You might grow a bit more depending on your parent’s height though. The bmi calc I linked also has a height estimating thing.

Well for runway fashion commercial etc. (What do you mean advertisement? That would be in acting I believe? I think you mean commercial) anyways. Mainly you would need to be from 5’7 being the shortest, up to around 6 foot. This is because (especially in runway) you have to be able to fit into sample sizes. As for agencies, probably something just local.

I’m going to be completely honest with you. 5,4 could never be a runway model. Runway models can range from 5,10-6,0. Now you could be a different type of model for example a commercial model.

I doubt you would grow any more than an inch or two.

The average height for runway is 5’10”.
