Im 5'4 and a size 6. The reason why I would love to be a part of Perfectly Petite is because there are so many restrictions within the fashion industry which I am against. There is always a required height and us tiny girls can do equally as good shots! :) It will be good to show everybody what we have!

Say Hello to Miss Sophia Francesca Sargeant, who will be joining Nicole Abbott, Nicole Farrell and Emily Morton of Perfectly Petite.
We Would like to Welcome Sophia to the group and we look forward to working together.

Here Sophia explains why she wants to be part of the Perfectly Petite Team...

"Personally for me I think promoting petite models is a step that we all need to take. A large population is classed as 'petite' and thus should be included within the modelling industry. When 'standard' models are used on the runway, we tend to forget the fact that petite models did not even have the chance to attend the casting; in fact, they aren't even considered in the casting call! I think petite models need a break through into the modelling industry. This would allow the majority of the population to be able to (for once) relate to a model they see in the latest high fashion magazine."

I feel its important to support perfectly petite as i believe that good things come in small sizes, just because we are not as leggy as the cat walk models down london does not mean we are not capable of being cat walk models. We as a force of smaller models need to stick together to make petite models a norm in todays society as we are todays modern models!

Rebecca C Jessica- New Perfectly Petite Model and Promoter

Say Hello to Rebecca, our newest Perfectly Petite member.
Here she explains what it means to her to be part of Perfectly Petite.

Promoting petite modelling is very important to me for the mere fact that I have a huge passion for both modelling and acting and I am determined to succeed in both of these industries. The modelling side can sometimes be made difficult due to my height. I have had times in which I've been considered for modelling agencies until I have told them my height and then suddenly I get an email telling me that I am not tall enough, this is incredibly frustrating. I also find certain casting calls with height limitations. I will never understand why height is an utter most importance when we have 12 inch heels and there are many girls capable of doing the catwalk or high fashion, why should our height make things that little bit more difficult when you're capable of doing what it is that tall models do? As someone who is 5 foot 4 and very determined to succeed in this industry, I am passionate about this subject, and I don't see how people will notice how tall a girl is in magazines etc. Hopefully petite modelling will become a more often thing in the future and petite models will find it easier to get work.


Namate Sililo - New Perfectly Petite Model and Promoter

We would like to welcome another member to the group to join Nicole Abbott, Nicole Farrell, Emily Morton and Gemma Chan.

Say Hi to Namate Sililo, here she explains what Perfectly Petite means to her.

I have always loved the idea of modelling but even better now, I love doing it. The best part is the Photo shoots - when it’s just me and the camera, and knowing for certain that height does not matter and that I am a happily certified Perfectly Petite Model at 5”5. But again, it is soo easy to be let down by the perception that an ideal model should be no less than 5”7, an ideology that always gets to me and the main reason why I am in total support of Petite Modelling . Yes, maybe for the catwalk, most highly named fashion organisers will be determined to choose the much taller girls than us petites, but I am determined to not let that discourage me or anyone else. Besides, body part modelling for example to me does not more or less has need height restrictions, so each time someone gives me the judging look of “aren’t you too short to be a model” I am always tempted to give an equally judging answer of “surely the portrait advert of Dior’s sunglasses did not need to be on a 5”7 model to make a sale”. Anyway, I believe if you have what it takes to make it work and put in a lot of effort, height means nothing, when being Perfectly Petite is all it takes.
Namate.
