[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is the typical fashion model so tall when most women aren't that tall? [/quote] Because tall, thin women create appealing lines in photographs and can act as a better "hanger" for designer clothes. Clothes look more elegant on longer frames. Even as the fashion industry has diversified model body types some, especially in catalogue modeling (which should be called website modeling now since those photos mostly wind up on store websites), they still use tall models. Like if you go to Target or Everlane online and they have a size 12 model in the clothes, she's usually still at least 5'9". Because the clothes will just drape and hang better on a taller frame regardless of body type.[/quote]
