I searched for the answer.

"From the angle that the people are sitting at watching the runway, the clothing looks best when it's a tall and thin person wearing it".

Sounds about right, nobody wants to see a manlet presenting their clothing.
Better yet nobody ever wants to see manlets.

the runway is elevated above spectators, short models would be completely obscured by the very thing meant to display them.

Obviously you could just seat the audience further out, although there's practical difficulties there.

There's two determining reasons:

1. Inherently, and I say this as someone who hovers around 5' 9", there's something compelling and preternaturally elegant about an outsize, elongated frame. You react to tall people, basically.

This does *not*, and fuck this site for making me clarify this, mean that anyone who isn't tall is a "manlet" or faces an insurmountable barrier to social success and respect. It's one factor in the innumerable scads that make up your existence, and most heights will just register neutral to most people.

2. Once you get tall models as the norm, it's difficult to break with for practical and semiotic reasons.

Practical: all the clothes are cut for tall models and having everyone be about the same size and shape makes fittings easier.

Semiotic: it's so engrained now that if anyone sends models that aren't tall and skinny or slightly built down the runway it's a statement, whether they want it to be or not. And if not, it's a distraction from the clothes.

That's all for runway. Catalog there's more variation.

Because their proportions are more aesthetically pleasing/they fit the clothes better

What if I genuinely am a manlet

>>8643283
>>>/fit/

>>8643298
>falling for that

Height matters little when it comes to getting laid. Also 6' is not average. 5'9" is average.

>>8643312
At least I have a 6" penis. I know it's average but still, I have that going for me.

>>8643257
Lol, my height is like the one physical thing I'm never insecure or neurotic about.

>>8643316
Well, that and this.

Most everything comes down to charisma and presence. Some physiognomies can help with that in various and complex ways, but at bottom it comes from *you* and it's something you can earn. Not a typo, earn not learn. Being about something and working and risking for it is the greatest thing you can do for yourself as a person.

>tfw 5'3" and overweight

help me

>>8645940
make the major effort to lose weight. youll be happier i promise.
get a hair cut, get a hobby, become politically active or something. or get a lot of money (srs, this wont make you truly happy.

almost every short person has fucked up proportions

its either they have stubby af legs or a big ass head or they're wide as shit

if you're a manlet and you have normal looking proportions then consider yourself lucky

>>8643344
>Being about something and working and risking for it is the greatest thing you can do for yourself as a person.
Thanks for that

>>8645940
>tfw overweight and have to save up to even afford Target clothes

>>8643264
I wonder who made this. Some manlet must have really fucked him over

>>8645822
lmao wtf
if you're a girl height doesnt matter for shit, unless you plan on being a model
your face probably isn't fucked up enough to model anyways

ftfy

>6'3
>skinny lanky fuck
>thick curly mane that makes my head look too big for my body

time to get /fit/, r-right?

>>8643112

...because being tall is a coveted genetic trait. It's something you can't buy too which makes it "sought after".

Short people just aren't as appeal (most of the time)

>>8645740
>Asian gf

I know a manlet and he pulls Asians like crazy, you don't need to be /fit/ or tall for that.

>>8646619
or get a haircut
or both

>>8646698

>what is leg lenghtening¿

>>8643112
Because fashion designers are gay and gays like tall people. Just look at /fit/.

>>8645987
They have better ones, actually. That's why actors are usually short,

Tall and sleek is elegant. Concept drawings feature tall and skinny models. When you have thousands of girls dreaming about being models, you obviously choose the cream of the potential candidates.

>>8648013
actors are short because manlets develop their charisma to get noticed

>>8648021

>tfw my 14 year old cousin is 6'

>>8643264

>>8648014
omg what is this shit?

>>8648014
shitty designs and shitty drawings - just wow

>>8643112
>Out of pure curiosity, why is it that models need to be human?

Fixed it for you son. Anyone above model's height = tall. Anyone lower = fucking manlet, not human.
