Traditionally, you have to be over six foot. Anything less is unacceptable for the catwalk. On top of that, the taller, the better. Also, too much muscle and not enough lean makes you get the boot as well, and it's more set on being lean rather than muscle.
Plus, modeling is a scam industry. You need to get an agency and you need to know the works. Also, modeling doesn't pay off unless you are willing to travel. More than likely, if you're not by either Los Angeles or New York City, you're ****ed - and that's considering you're not ****ed from the beginning by just not having the right look that businesses are looking for. Personally, I can only shoot european shoots because my look only works for European magazines.
I'm 6'2" and I'm 15, does that help? I am not that big really, I read online I am overweight by about 20 pounds thou and I only have 18 pounds of body fat :/
