Thread: am i too fat to be a fashion model?

i'm an asian american female and i want to be a model
i'm 5 foot 10 inches, and about 132 lbs

am i too fat to be a model? if so, what would be a good weight for me at my height to be a fashion model?

your perfect
probably

Probably. You don't sound super large or anything but the average model is about 5'10 and 115 pounds. So you would probably have to lose at least ten.

no you are perfect

i am 5 10 1/2 and i am about the same weight as you and i don't consider my self fat and people always tell me i am really skinny

To be a high fashion or runway model, you need to fit into the sample size that designers use, which is typically a size 0...the equivalent proportions are about 32"-22"-32".

If you happen to be a size 12 or larger, you can be plus sized model. However, if you are smaller than a 12, then you'll either be told to gain weight to be a plus-sized model or lose weight to do high fashion. At your weight, you could do glamour or catalogue modeling, which don't have as strict of rules regarding size.

Your perfectly fine!
Good luck in the fashion world!
