For fashion and runway boards, New York agencies that publish a minimum ask for about 5'9" (175 cm) and up. Commercial, lifestyle, curve and petite boards (1 agencies here have a petite board) take women of other heights. The lowest published minimum among the agencies on this page is 5'9".
Legitimate agencies never charge you to sign, and never require you to buy photo shoots, classes or a website listing. They earn a commission when you book work. Every agency on this page was checked for upfront fees; if anyone asks you for money to be represented, walk away.
Take four simple digitals (polas) in daylight against a plain wall: front, profile, full length and a smile, with no filters and little make-up. Send them with your height, measurements, age and city through the agency's online form or email, or go to an open call (2 agencies here hold them). Apply to the boards that fit you, not to every agency.
Yes. 8 of these agencies have a curve board. 4 represent classic or mature models. 9 have commercial or lifestyle boards, where real-life looks book most of the work.
