America’s Next Top Model All Under 5’7”

March 8, 2023 By Marie F

ANTM 13America’s Next Top Model Season 13 contestants won’t be topping all the other supermodels, at least in terms of height.

We have seen the plus size models in ANTM but “shorter” girls are still a very rare sight in the modelling business. This season we can expect to see more petite models with the ANTM’s contestants all being 5’7” and under. Everything else about the show stays the same – Tyra, the judges, the various challenges, and undoubtedly the drama. The only thing that’s really novel is the contestant’s height.

This is really exciting for the model-wannabes who never thought they’d get the chance to be supermodels simply because of their height. As Brittany Markert, one of this season’s contestants said, “Hopefully, this will impact the fashion industry. I’ve always wondered where this stigma that women 5-9 and above are more godlike than shorter women came from.” In a way I also think this season might be something “real people”will be able to relate more to, at least in terms of fashion, since models will be closer to ordinary girls’ heights, making what they wear more wearable for mere mortals. So despite the seemingly small tweak in the show’s rules , the repercussions are pretty big, at least for petite girls worldwide. What we have yet to see though if this trend will catch or if it will die down when this season ends.

ANTM Season 13 will premier tonight 8PM at CW.

The people who don’t get into America’s Top Model have something to look forward to: they can wait a couple of years — maybe decades — and join She’s Got the Look , a show for models over 35.

Some of the models are actually over 50, and darn, they don’t show it. Amazing what plastic surgery can do.

Whitney Thompson made history by being America’s Next Top Model first full-figured winner.

Her prize (as you’ve heard Tyra Banks say over and over again) includes a photo shoot for Seventeen magazine. And here it is! What do you think?

Life after winning America’s Top Model

March 5, 2023 By Marie F

Does
“America’s Next Top Model”
really launch the careers of its winners, aside from the Cover Girl contract?

Not really.”The fashion industry doesn’t take the show seriously,” says one insider. First of all, clients have a very specific idea of what kind of model they want for a campaign, and being known nationwide may actually work against the winners. Readers will pay more attention to them rather than the product — unless the campaign really wants some kind of low-level celebrity to boost its sales.

And, to be honest, they are low-level celebrities. Think, oh, “Z list”. After the first few months the buzz dies down and the world moves on to look at the next batch of Top Model finalists.

As for the real “Top Models” — well, it’s a small and highly exclusive circle. “The group of high-fashion girls who do the Vogues, the W spreads, the editorial spreads, the superluxury campaigns and runway is a really tiny group,” says the insider. “Maybe—maybe—100 girls around the world.”

Some contestants have gotten a few decent jobs, though. Jaslene has endorsed a brand called Lot 29, Caridee was tapped by JC Penney, and Mercedes does a few runway shows. Otherwise … their moment at the top is over.
