How tall is a normal model?

Published in Fashion Modeling 1 min read

A "normal" (or average) female runway model is typically between 5'9" and 6'0" tall.

This height range is a consistent standard within the high-fashion modeling industry. While there might be some exceptions, most agencies and designers prefer models within this range for several reasons:

  • Clothing Fit: Clothes are often designed and manufactured to fit this specific height range, making it easier to showcase designs accurately.
  • Runway Presence: This height allows models to command attention on the runway.
  • Photographic Appeal: Proportions within this height range often translate well in photographs.

While the term "normal" might be misleading as it relates to height overall, it's the standard for runway modeling.
