Because they think that being a size 6 (which we think is normal!) is being too fat and in their minds, models are not meant to be fat, they are meant to be tall and slim.

Why did everybody suddenly want to have anorexia?

The basic assumption made in the question is incorrect. Everyone did not and does not wish to be anorexic. It came to prominence because many people had a poor self image and believed much of the hype made by fashion trends. Exacerbated by companies using very underweight models. There were several minor celebrities with the illness that added to the problem by people believing they were good role models.

Does age and gender matter when you want to model?

Yes. Age is very important in modeling, mainly for fashion and runway. The younger a model is, the better. Most fashion/runway models start as young as 14. By industry standards, 25 is typically the age when the average fashion/runway model "retires." However, print modeling is open to all ages, even middle age and elderly models, which are always in demand by companies that want to promote products geared towards those demographics. As far as gender, female models are always prevalent in all types of modeling. Male models fall under the categories of print, fashion and runway modeling. There is currently no market for male plus size or petite models, however.


Anorexic without losing weight?

Impossible, actually. Once you're anorexic you are going to keep losing weight, until you are the most anorexic you can be, and then you'll eventually die. Why would you want to be anorexic without losing weight? Isn't that the whole POINT of anorexia?

How tall does a models have to be?

This depends on what kind of modeling you want to do. Fashion/editorial/runway models are required to be between 5'8"-6'0" for females and 5'10"-6'2" for males. Commercial/print models should be between 5'5"-5'7" for females and 5'9"-6'2" for males. Plus size models have the same height requirements as fashion/editorial/runway models, while petite models tent to fall between 5'0"-5'7" range. Critics in the industry regard any female model under 5'7" as "petite."

I am 5.8 and 7.6 am I under weight because I want to lose more weight because I want to be like anorexic?

I will get down to the point and tell you firmly....DO NOT BE LIKE AN ANOREXIC!If you do, in while you might get more into it and have the eating disorder itself....It's completely pathetic saying you want to be anorexic. I would much rather be a comfy size 10 then an ultra skinny 0, because to be honest, anorexic people look really bad.
