Hi everyone,

I have just joined MM today, and am interested in high fashion. I'm 6'1 and have some runway experience non-professional. I've done area fashion shows, and have been in several hair magazines.

What are your thoughts? Also, if you're a high fashion photographer I need to update my portfolio.

Thanks everyone!!!

hi

you'd probably have to lose weight..the measurements for runway are 34-24-35 and gals like that are usally b/w 110-120lbs...and you're not old for the real world, but in fashion your age is pushing it, but your a working model already so from what i hear agencies are more lenient. Goodluck to you!

Electra was pretty accurate on your age/weight. High fashion is very competitive.

because contrary to what most ppl believe the requirement is 5'9-5'11. Though agencies notoriously lie about girls height. So thats why he said u should lie. LIE GIRL LIE!
