Walking for Dior as my first show when I have 0 experience, just barely meeting the age and heigh requirement.
Oh man this took way too long to edit! Thank you David for helping me put this together. Sorry for the wait loves. I didn't include everything but if you have any more questions on my experience I'd be happy to answer them in my next video, so please comment them!

[@umeya11]

5’7 isn’t that short, I think most of them hire at 5’7. Most of models are like 5’8-6foot so your not that short:)

[@Leo-nh9ui]

@@umeya11 5'7 is extremely short for a runway model. In real life it wouldn't be considered short. But in the modeling world it is short she would be considered like petite. 5'9 to 6 inches, is normally the required height for female runway models. If you are more of an commercial model, height dosen't really matter. But if you wanna walk for Dior or these top brands, those are normall the requirements.

[@umeya11]

@@Leo-nh9ui I searched it up it’s 5’8 as minimum height which is an inch taller .

[@leena2126]

@@Leo-nh9ui trust me, most of the time the agency will lie for a model and say they are an inch taller or an inch shorter if needed. many models have confirmed it and if u looked at models with “similar” heights sometimes look different edit: so if the model has really good proportions they can be passed as 5’8

I see a lot of hate comments calling her "non model material" and while yes, she's the Asian equivalent of when we say average or basic white girl (which btw - we see plenty of these type of white girls casted for shows and because it's what we're used to, no one says a word about them. but because seeing an average/basic/default looking (in the face - nothing wrong with being basic) asian girl modelling, it's not what we normally see so people feel the need to comment their frustrations not realizing why you feel that way) we can't forget that what sets them a part is the fact that she is 1. tall (or at least taller than most Asian girls) 2. very young 2. thin 3. pretty good walk. This is what they mainly look for. So in short - yes, she is model material. I know for a FACT most of you hating are not even in the slightest bit model material so the least you can do is feel happy and supportive for the girl next door like you who achieved something pretty huge like this. Congrats to you on your first show!
