  • I wish I could be a runway model, I'm skinny but i'm only 5'3''

  • this is the best "learn how to walk video", excellent teacher.

  • @zoevangorp

    I agree! :)

  • Anyone can be a model. Just stick to your dream and dont give up, im just a tad over 5'3 and im doing runway on the 8th of september for debenhams. RUNWAY!!!! and the other models are like 5'11. If i can do it so can any of you's. Good luck everyone x

  • what a big nose holes ^oo^

  • The girls on here look very skinny...

    Now, my upper body is skinny, but my hips are around 36-37 inches, can I still do runway?

  • @mesasha2004 chances are very slim loll :P

  • @LolaMarieM Meh, I'm loosing weight xD agencies here take up to 36 inches in hips so I should be good in a couple of months xD

  • @mesasha2004 i'm 37 hips and I do runway so you should be fine :)

  • how tall do you have to be.. i think i am 5'6 or 5'7

  • @danniigurl111 5' 9'' is the ideal height. slim chances of being signed when you're 5'8'' and shorter.

  • @ShannonMac123 oh well, there is one Victoria Secret model who is only 5'8 besides im still growing so i think i would get taller

  • @danniigurl111 Thats true! The modeling industry is sooo dog eat dog though. But if you want to be a model, stick to it and chase your dreams :)

  • Bring Natasha Poly & Mariacarla Boscono to show how to walk this ladies xD

  • when you go to a ford models' open casting call, what do they already expect?

  • Mac Thankyou! you explain so well. greetings from Mexico :D

  • same here im 5'5 i have a muscular legs..but im really slim... but i can walk and project... im losing my confidence because of my muscular legs...

  • I wish I could model....but my butt's 36". It's a bummer because I meet all the other requirements. :(

  • @awsomeme89 I think you still could do some modeling, even though you might not make it to the very top.. ask some agencies what they think, it might still work out! Not all models are tall etc.

  • Do you have a demo i really need this now

  • no wonder the runway teacher was walking with me and holding my hand hahaha i thought it was odd at first

  • You are going to stop on this side? So always, always, always, always, ALWAYS, stop on that that side... So you don't have to think (points to head) about it anymore ;-)

  • The first girl looks like she's 11!!!!

  • I'm age 13 5'4 and a little less than 100 pounds. Am i on the right track?

  • @AngelLuvsU2 Too short.

  • @AngelLuvsU2 you'll grow don't worry

  • its a great video because u dont see this top supermodel knowing everything and doing everything perfect its like u learn how to walk with the models

  • Thank you for this video. Oklahoma does not offer any good training so its all on me. :)

  • i was 5 8 when i was 12 i think i have a chance but the problem is im curvy not fat but not as skinny as themdo i have a chance? im 5 9 now and im 14

  • What about something for beachwear?? like the guy said high knees for sexy.....

  • im 16 and im 5ft. i dont have a chance do i?

  • I'm 5'8.5 is this too short?

  • Thanks! Thise videos are really good! :)

  • Do you think I can grow 4-6 inches during puberty? When I just started a year ago?

  • your GREAAAT!

    <33

  • Who are these models?

  • this was super helpful, thanks.

  • your cadencce?? lol i dont think he meant to say that!

  • @mlaycy it's meter/beat/accent it's a bit awkward to say it this way, but you do walk on a beat...

  • I'm 15 and I'm tall enought, I guess because people say I'm very tall, and I'm thin.... so I think I just have to learn the pose and the walk... some tips?

  • Email agencies pictures and specs. Keep doing that and your bound to land one pretty quick. If you got the look, it's really not that hard to get in to.

  • Hey im 12 and 5,10 im about 120lbs. I've been trying to get into the modeling indestry with the help of my sister cause she is in the modeling buissness herself. She's been helping me with everything except posing, obviously the body structure so do you have any tips?:)

  • hugsxoxo55 I know how you feel!

    I'm 15, 5'2'' & I weigh like 104lbs, I want to be a model so bad! but since I'm too short, I want to be really good when I audition, so they can't tell me no because of my height. I have no experience whatsoever, I'm trying to learn it over the internet!

  • When you stop at the end of the runway, don't you poise the opposite way that you turn around, then shift your hips, poise and walk back down the runway?

  • im 13 about to be 14 in 3 months im 5'4 and weight around 94. i want to be a model when i grow up and live in newyork but im sorta scared to follow the wrong path any advised?

  • im 13 and a model just search on the internet model agencys in your areaa, and get your mum to get intouch with them

    im 13 and 5ft 11.

  • wow i want be a model but that wk looks so weird y do they hav 2 walk like that

  • They are showing off the clothes, not them. They walk with large spaces to cover more ground, looks more graceful, and clothes flow better

  • its a way to show off the clothes and making yourself look elegant or however the designer wishes the clothes to be portrayed. They tell you how they want their clothes to be 'shown off.' Basically the model's job is to make anything they put on you look fashionable and desirable. Often times its the model that 'sells the clothes' not the clothes themselves.

  • well i grew at the age of twelve and thirteen to 5 10 and know at 15 im 6 ft and my parents are 5 10 and 6 4 so it runs in my family but my friend is 5 10 and her mom is really short so its possible

  • okay thanks ^_^ so it is possible? im 5'4 and can i grow to 5'10 or 5'8?

  • he's so cute. i wonder how much they pay him

  • I am 5'3 and 13 years old, how can I get taller so I can model? Will I reach the minimum height requirement?

  • the minimum is usually 5'8'' or 9''. hopefully, you're not done growing yet. eating really healthy is a good way to the nutrients you need to grow as much as possible :) and wear heels, lol

  • xD i just started puberty i think in January, now its September/or October when you reply to this comment... I just turned 13 years old in September. How can I get taller?

  • as far as i know, you can't make yourself any taller than the maximum height your body type can achieve. but i've read that stretching and excercise can help you reach that maximum. getting plenty of sleep and eating well also helps. i don't know if your parents are tall, but if they are, it's pretty likely that you will be too :)

  • my parents are average. my mom is 5'1 and my dad is 5'7 but my uncles and aunts are pretty tall.

  • don't worry about it too mutch, you still will grow, and even then, small models are also possible. Even getting more into fashion.

  • okay Do you think I can grow 5-8 inches during puberty?

  • Doubtful.

  • :/ My uncles and aunts are really tall

  • Well it depents on your age. But you can also just look at your parents. If thei are tall, you will be tall, but even that doesn't say anything. Meaning I saw some 'short' parents with tall childrens. Don't worry too mutch. But remember, keep your back straight (mutch more healthier) But don't worry too mutch

  • okay thanks. I'm around 5'3 and i just turned 13 last month.

  • at 12-13 years your grow spurt will start. C'mon, no problem!

  • okay can i grow 5-7,8 inches during puberty?

  • thirteen to 5 10 and know at 15 im 6 ft and my parents are 5 10 and 6 4 so it runs in my family but my friend is 5 10 and her mom is really short so its possible

  • your mind has a great power of your body - just keep on envisioning yourself and feeling yourself to be the height you'd like to be each night before you fall asleep, except to grow to your desired height and you will be stimulating the chemicals in your body to grow your body and be the way you'd want it to be :)

  • thanks how tall do I need to be? I'm currently around 5'3-5'4 and 95 pounds

  • to go on the catwalk you have to be between 5'9" and 6' something. They may take 5'8" if you can make yourself look taller ;)

  • oh, do you know any ways to make yourself naturally grow taller?

    I dont think I went through my growth spurt yet.

  • You just have to wait and see if you grow taller, you might grow up to 5 or 6 inches by the time you are done growing

  • Kate Moss is 5'6!!!

  • Oh yeah!!! I love her! So I guess anyone can do it :)

  • @AngelLuvsU2 i did haha. from 6th to 9th grade i grew almost a whole foot. im 5'8

  • @AngelLuvsU2 well depends how old u r and how high you are my sister is young and im 5'6 and i bet she can grow a few more inches when she is 14 i guess

  • @MizzFierceluv

    I'm 13 years old

    and 5'3 1/2 "

  • @AngelLuvsU2 i guess a little more years you may be up to 5'4 or 5'5 but my sister is 12 and shes 5'5 so she'll grow more since shes younger

  • @MizzFierceluv when do you stop growing?

  • @AngelLuvsU2 idk realy i guess maybe depends how tall your parents are idk

  • @AngelLuvsU2 At 13 I was only 4'11" and I'm 5'8" now. So you can definitely grow!

  • @epicbeautyguide thanks so much~ :D

  • Funny : in French a "mac" is the boss of a prostitute...

  • I'm 14 and only 5"3 and I went and tryed modeling and they said they liked me a lot. if your good, hight doesn't matter

  • but it definitely helps :P nothing against shorties, lol. you're just fun sized :)

  • thanx a lottt!!

  • Comment removed

  • how tall are these girls?

  • woah. im 5 ft 3 and im 12...

    do you think i would be tall enough when im older?

  • definatly! if you didnt go through a growth spurt yet, you'll definatly be tall enough. =]]

  • hmmm... i don't think so, sorry. i am 6ft rite now and im 15. I was 5ft 7 when i was ur age

  • doubt it i was the same way..im 18 now and just about 5'6''

  • you all are lucky to be models i tried but its hard bussiness

  • I love Mac he's so nice to everyone

  • Mac pretty much rules.

  • @SexyCenamodelbabe i know right he makes it feel and seem easy and confident as u watch it

  • yeah teh turn was weird 4 me.... i cool now.

  • This was exactly what I was looking for. I've always felt like I was walking awkwardly so this gives me something new to shoot for.

  • These videos are great! I want to try modeling for Ford!

  • im a 17y.o 5'9 female model signed with a boutique agency in nyc...my first time casting for fashion week...this video helps a lot..thnx

  • actually, i model and have a manager, and have met with agents from elite and new york model management. the ideal height for a model is 5'10", with 34"24"34" measurements. the girl wearing polkadots seems about that size.

  • im 5'10" and my measurements are 34/24/32

  • I'm 6ft and my measurements are 38/33/38.

  • no offense but isnt that a bit large for a model? i am not saying ur fat by any means! :) thats average

  • The girl in the polkadot short is Anarexic, Poor Ghal ;((

  • well, she ain't braindead like you!

  • this is boring...............

  • wey am 13 and am 5'8 and am a swimmer so am ded fit i wish i could be a model lolm x

  • I really hope I could model some day. Im fifteen, 110 pounds but im 5ft 4 ;( is that much too short?

    and does anyone else think the girl in a polkadot shirt is dangerously thin?

  • I think 5'4 is kinda short..but dont get your hopes down try at elast..models in the runway are normally like 5'10..but u'll grow

  • This is my sister's account but whatever. My name's lauren. I recently got signed with Rock Modeling in Madison, Wisconsin, and here's what I know. For acting, short girls are ideal because most of the men are short. For modeling, 5'9" is pretty much the minimum, except maybe for some commercial/catalogue modeling. For runway, 5'9" is pretty much midget. Most runway girls are about 5'11" or taller. Ideal height for runway is actually about 6 feet. I'm 5'9" and hope i grow.

  • We sorta figured it was your sister's account. Lolz.

  • well done, thanks for vids!

  • i walk like a model but im not one and ppl tell me i look like a model and im 5'9 so i think i want to model! go ford!

  • Well we wish u good luck :)

  • i love him

  • big thnx for the video! im tall and trying to become a model and its a good help

  • what is your high

  • i've catwalked :)

    Twice :)

  • thnaks i  learn alot i alway wanted to train little mdoel to guy model i loved walk runway idont i just loved it

  • some girls who are commenting who want to model but are like 5"2-5"4. You can model but finding work will be very difficult because most commercial models are about 5"7.Runway you can forget about because height and weight are key when casting directors look for girls.

  • Well, I'm 5'9, almost 5'10. This means that I'm tall enough, but I think that I'm too heavy.

    It's actually stupid that you have to be so and so tall. I mean, even if you look like a dwarf doesn't mean that you aren't cute. And why is it necessary to weigh so little? That has nothing to do with wearing clothes, or?

  • well actually the camera adds ten pounds Plus most designers make only sample sizes for their shows which range from a size 0 to a size 2. If you do not fit their design you can forget about walking their show. That is why many models are skinny the way they are, to get jobs and bookings.

  • the height is required because it gives a more dramatic effect to the garment as oppossed to a sort model wearig it. tal models make it stand out with their long ass legs

  • one reason why they want you to be so thin besides what others mentioned is that they dont really want the clothes to FIT the model, or be SNUG in any places, they want the clothes to DRAPE. so the point is kind of for the girl to be a walking clothing hanger, and it displays the clothes without looking/fitting strangely in any place.

  • thats what my friend said but i disagreed - then the clothes will look unattractive an dno one would buy them :/

  • I'm 5'10.

  • Natasha Poly or Mariacarla Boscono should show how to walk to all new models

  • awesome advice!!!!

    thx 4 the tips

  • the runway coach looks more like a gym teacher than a runway trainer lol.excellent advice though

  • are models ever taught to twist their heels inward or is it something natural that lily d, stam etc do?

  • Haha. I love how funny the comments from ford is. Thank you so much to ford for posting these videos. I learn alot from them as a 14 year old girl, desperate to make it in the fashion world. (almost 5'7", 110lbs. 35-24-35)

  • I have always wanted to do high fashion modeling. However I am only 5'2 or 3 and 15 years old. I weigh 105 pounds. I modeled for the Leos dancewear company a couple years ago and had so much fun. I hope to pursue modeling as a career one day!

  • In the video, it's stated that one of the girls is shorter than the others...how tall is she? I know the min requirement for fashion is 5'9"...

  • no, in fact the usual height is 5'9".

    although, there are exceptions.

    let's think about kate moss, who is only 5'6" and who is such an icon anyway.

  • moss is a one in a million. - and was already established before she stopped growing taller. and yeah, the minimum requirement for high fashion is 5'9" though some agencies will take their chances on someone who is 5'8" - which is why i still wonder how tall the girl in that video is.

  • i'd love to be a model! im only 13 right now tho. how do u get into modeling rlly? it seams hard because theres so many ppl in the business and also so many agencies

  • this looks hard.

  • I'll probably pick up modeling after im 18, because my mother is ver much against it. I'm 16, 107 lbs. 33", 26", 34". somewhere around there. Idon't remeber oh and I'm 5'6".

  • nobody cares.

  • i love that ford commented lol

  • That's how we do.

  • I love this type of stuff. I've always wanted to be a model. However, I'm only 5'2". I don't want to give up on my dream, because maybe I could do print.

  • make me a supermodel!

  • Im 5 ft 8 do you have to be 6 foot and over to model?

  • 5'9 is the industry average.

    Honey at least you're closer than me, I'm still stuck at 5'2!

  • im sorry, ill never make it anyway cause im too "big" for the industry. Im a size 10 in UK sizes, altho i work out alot. i wana be a model so bad.

  • anything less than a uk size 10 is very unattractive. FACT .

  • This is bollocks.

    If I was a fashion designer I would get get a bunch of stout hairy men, dress them in my latest lingerie collection and have them prance like little happy gnomes down the runway. Guys in Bras = awesome!

  • Super.  We'll see you in Milan, then this autumn?

  • oh haha your so incredibly amusing...

  • thin looks hawt. man. nice walking.

  • Are you demented?

  • Yes. But it improves, rather than hinders, my judgment. Thanks for the comment.

  • well at least the look very very very happy...

  • *Nice,

  • These girls should have a proper meal.

  • which would be...?

  • Pause at :11 he looks like a monkey

  • He's wearing tennis shoes, they'r wearing heels. He's on an uneven playing ground. :P

  • poor girls not enough that they pick nn their weight+skin and so forth..they gotta pick on their walk!

  • And even their brain waves!

  • I wish they picked girl's with style to them.

  • i should've walked like this at my old job at the packaging plant as i had to move from packing line to packing line

  • Damn right. I should start walking like this in the mens public restroom, McDonald's and of course, the bowling alley.

  • lol yeah the bowling alley would be hilarious! if i had done this at my old job at the plant they would've kicked my butt with a forklift.

  • this is sooo unfair. im short, but I really do the walk!:(

  • I'm short myself. 5 foot. But I did a runway show only once and because i was so short i got more attention. might not make sence to the high fashion community but being different looking works more sometimes then fitting into the girls next door thing

  • how old is she?

  • çön fjbjnbhjkllkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkflög­odfıgıhııııııııhflgobkvlnjb

  • ...I only focus on how do they walk...not what the guy talk@@

    anyway, I can't believe it will require that much hard work to walk like a model@@

  • the fact is that you're not supposed to look like you're walking on the street. most of the fashion shows sport untraditional designs that you never see people wear on the streets as well...

  • he's a really good coach.

  • It's funny that it's always the men teaching the women how to walk. Remember RuPaul giving 'real' models makeup classes. It was hilarious!

  • he is adorable :)

  • Haha, this guy is great!

  • Yay! I can walk like a model now. :)

  • I wish there was a market for petit women that are 5'2" somewhere in modeling. Because i'd love to do couture.. but couture isn't designed for my size. But anyways i do love watching!

  • me too! I'd love to do couture modeling but I'm 5'3 so that sucks... what if u wore like really high heels?

  • honey there is a market for your height in modeling, maybe not couture but commercial modeling is a wide market. if u have what it takes u can look at agencies that specifically look for commercial models.

  • and print modeling is wide open and has even more exposure.
