hey what's up guys welcome back to my channel if you guys are new to my
channel and you're interested in looking your best feeling your best or maybe
interested in becoming a model definitely want to check out the rest of
my contents I make awesome videos on a weekly basis where I give you guys some
of the best tips so previously I've given you guys the top ten models in the
industry the highest paid models in industry and what I wanted to do today
was to kind of show you guys some of the most successful models who are
considered under sized or short in the fashion terms now being that they're
shorts they actually average height in real life but in the modeling industry
if you're below five nine for a female you're considered short and if you're
below five eleven for a male you're also considered short so in this video we're
gonna look at some of the most successful models who were still able to
break in regardless of their Heights
this list excludes models who come from famous parents like celebrity kids for
example one model is Lily Depp who's five three she's the daughter of
Johnny Depp another model is Sophia Ricci who is the daughter of Lionel
Richie she's only five six and she's doing a lot of work on the runway not to
mention the countless of models like Kate Moss Twiggy Marilyn Monroe even
mark wahlberg who was a male model these models were all undersized at their time
and they were still able to break through okay so the first model is MEKHI
Lukcy Mekhi is also known as prison bay although he hates the name because he
never was convicted of any crime he was actually charged for vehicle thefts
misdemeanor assault and probation violations he was discovered when his
mugshot went viral and in an agency reached out to him to represent him
shortly after that's maybe even a few weeks he started modeling in fashion
shows and appearing in major campaigns in 2018 he was one of the most booked
models that year and since then he became a father and his career kind of
slowed down so he's taking a little break from modeling right now another
model is Devon Aoki who's 5'5 she was actually discovered by Kate Moss
who was one of the first undersized supermodels
Devon did a lot of runway modeling for Chanel and numerous designers at New
York Fashion Week she quickly transitioned her career to become an
actress and she appeared in the Fast & Furious movies another model is Selita
Ebanks who was born in the Cayman Islands she's five eight although her
agency tends to market her as five nine or sometimes taller she started modeling
at 17 when she landed major campaigns and her career took off she's well known
for being one of the top Victoria's Secret models another model who have
talked about in several videos is Lucas Sabbat Luka is actually 5'9
and a half sometimes he's marketed as 5'10 or 5'11
his father was a fashion designer for John Galliano and Christian Dior his
mother was a popular fashion stylist while Luka was only three years old he
was actually sitting front row loved some of the biggest fashion shows around
the world he was scouted in New York and approached and when he was approached
the agents actually told him like hey you can actually make all this money
from being a model I can get you this campaign I can get you booked for this
and his exact words were sounds fire in less than a week of signing with an
agency he actually went on to do campaigns for American Eagle and Calvin
Klein he then later built a relationship with Virgil Abloh and did some modeling
for off White's from there he was scouted by Kanye West to model for
Yeezys first collection and this is where his career took off the next model
on this list is Adwoa Aboah Adwoa is 5'8 she's Naomi Campbell's
goddaughter she's actually one of the top models top black models in the
industry today and her career has really taken off she worked as a stylist and a
creative director for several designers before getting her shot to become a

personal project called girls talk project where she talks about her battle
with addiction and depression next model on this list is cara delevingne cara
started at the age of 10 she appeared in Vogue Italia while she was just 10 years
old she's one of the highest-paid models in the industry today earning ten point

hi Emily Ratajkowski where she in the cover of GQ and her life the last model
on this list is Emily Ratajkowski who's five seven she signed with Ford models

she unsuccessfully tried to break into acting several times before decided to
focus her career modeling she then did a lot of bikini modeling and glamourous
shoots and then she ended up in popular music videos for Robin Thicke Ti and
Pharrell so guys these are some models they were still able to break into the
industry even though many agents told them no because of their heights so if
