You can always start an Instagram account and start posting there. Best of Luck! Same boat here. This article and comments has encouraged me as well. Uncle modeled locally.
Feeling too old 43 now this has given me hope that many of I become vulnerable I can try it. I am a petite 44 year old, working in the health, wellness, and fitness industry, and am told on a regular basis I look like I am in my twenties and should be a petite model.
I am a certified Miss America judge, and judge local pageants. I have been told I look like I am one of the contestants. These were non-paying jobs. What suggestions do you have or other information you could provide that will help me begin breaking into this business. Thank you for this sight and showing us how to be beautiful no matter your age, shape, or size. Hi Tami, This sounds like you calling, but unfortunately I have no info for you about modeling agencies.
The best advice I could give is to start an Instagram account and start posting photos of yourself in outfits. Then tag brands you want to work with on your instagram account and they may contact you to start modeling their clothes.
You just have to be consistent in your posting and tagging and you should get somewhere! All the best! Cheers, Deborah. I am 43 — at least for the next 6 days — and am told all the time that I should do this.
I pondered the idea years ago, but my daughter became terminally ill with cancer and passed at the age of 7.
Life definitely got the best of me then. It caused a divorce, which again has taken a lot out of me. I promised my daughter I would be happy and live my life. I am recently starting to do that now. Frankly, I am surprised that the stresses of life have not aged me — must be good genetics! I have a cousin in NYC who models too! Maybe it is in the genes! I was looking for a second job because my kids are non-stop eaters : A friend of mine blogs and has her own job recruitment agency emailed me when she was I was looking for a second job.

I am still getting friends saying I need to get back into it but with a full time job not sure I have the time. I really want to know if I have a shot. I have a great personality for modeling too. Where do I start?
My age is 40 years old and I hope to find model job, it is my dream. Hi Zeze, Check out this link. Hello Ms. My dream is to become a face model or a fashion model…I been trying to find out where do I start and im lost because this I what I want to do.

Hi my name is debbie I am 48 very young looking so everyone keeps telling me would love to start a new career in modeling.
Hello, My name is Sharon and I want to start a modeling career. Can you get me some advice on how to do that? Please help me start my modeling career. I always wanted to be a model but I think I might be to short. Hi Maria, Getting the chance to model at any age is difficult but at 45 it is even more so. Be careful of people that want to take your money and charge you for special photos or to be your agent. True modeling agents can see from a simple photo and meeting you in person if they want to hire you or not.
Perhaps my vocal reservations about the pressure on women to stay young and beautiful for three-score-years-and-ten hits the right note with Fleur and Rebi, because, despite their misgivings about my height, my 'look' and my lack of modelling experience, they agree to try me out at a dummy photo session.
On the day of the shoot, I'm blase. How difficult can it be? It isn't as if modelling is what you might call a proper job! Ian, the make-up artist, applies layer after layer of mineral-based foundation before getting to work on my eyes. When he has finished, I no longer recognise myself in the mirror - but in a good way. I am then moved on to the stylist, who has assembled a range of clothes suitable for a woman of uncertain years.
They're mostly navy and cream, and offer lots of coverage. This, it seems, is the other rule of older modelling: you are not allowed to show much flesh, nor be too overtly sexy, unless you have a body like Yasmina's. The photographer guides me to a spot marked by masking tape and tells me to 'stand tall'.
This should be easy, as my shoes add six inches to my height, but it's difficult to balance on them and within a couple of minutes I'm listing badly to my right. It is no easier, I discover, when I am allowed to sit down: I try draping myself across a chair, but I look clumsy and ill at ease.
By the end of my session, I have had enough of the whole business. My preconceptions are all wrong: it is hard work. And even though some of the pictures on the computer screen are quite nice, I am not a 'natural' and no one - least of all Fleur or Rebi - is going to suggest I give up the day job anytime soon.
And yet a few days later, unexpectedly, Rebi calls me about a forthcoming casting, and I find myself in the Cafe Royal jostling with a dozen real older models. We are gathered to try out for a top-secret event later this month organised by JD Williams - the 'first ever' plus catwalk show at London Fashion Week. The brand makes big claims, not least in its championing of the 'forgotten 50s'; and this show, we're told, 'will feature curvy, grey-haired models.
But perhaps not that curvy. None of the women at the Cafe Royal look smaller than 5ft 9in or bigger than size As we wait our turn, I become even more convinced that this is definitely not for me.
Again, they are all lovely, but by no means representative of UK womanhood. By the time the first of the 14 models has sashayed down the catwalk, I'm feeling so out-classed that I lose my nerve entirely, make my excuses and leave. It's obviously hugely positive that older women can sustain longer careers in modelling, and that the overs are increasingly visible in the fashion industry as a result.
But don't be fooled: it is still a business heavily reliant on smoke, mirrors and self-denying rocket salad. And it's not, unhappily, for the likes of me.

Their unique looks and killer poses has ensured that their height measurement has gone unnoticed. Successful petite models are making an impact in a tall girls stomping ground, ignoring the confinements set upon them.
She revolutionised the stereotypical look of the era, beginning a new breed of supermodels. Her height is rarely discussed due to her confident persona that demands attention. Also, her waif like figure suggests that her height is a lot taller, especially with the addition of heels. She remains the shortest model with such a supermodel status! An exception to the rule is Russian-Australian model, Anja Konstantinova. The successful petite model, who was discovered in a Melbourne hair salon, has received lots of rejection in her career, yet continues to break boundaries in a predominately tall arena.
She has defied conventions by appearing on the runway for Chanel, Lancome and Versace ; a proud moment for all petite models. Devon has graced the cover of i-D magazine three times, been the face of Lancome for four years and walked for Chanel.
She has certainly not let her smaller frame hinder her dreams of becoming a model. Her luscious brown locks and striking facial features draw the focus away from her height. Becoming an icon in the model and fashion world, Kate Moss is recognised worldwide for her work.
Her height is certainly not an issue as she continues to dominate the supermodel title. Other than Moss, most petite models find work as commercial and catalogue models. If they work in fashion it is generally with high street brands specialising in petite clothing. Thanks to a boom in brands catering for men and women with smaller frames and shorter legs, petite models are being employed to keep up with industry demand. A fuller bust, pert derriere and toned torso become a higher priority than your height statistic.
