You can become a model with a height of 165. Parameters and weight of top models. Ideal model parameters

There is a firm belief that there is absolutely no place in the fashion world for girls whose height is less than 180 cm. At best, you can make a career as a designer or stylist, but not a model.

Fortunately, this belief is wrong and talented models vertically challenged are in demand on the catwalks of the world's leading fashion shows. And not only on the catwalks. You can become the face of a famous brand or participate in a shoot for a catalog.

Small exceptions to the rule

Girls who have achieved great success and recognition in the fashion industry do not always have high growth and ideal proportions. Indeed, there are catwalk stars whose height does not exceed 170 cm.

Probably the smallest is the famous British model Kate Moss. Her height is 168 cm, which is quite far from the ideal model. However, this did not stop Kate from one day becoming the highest paid top model in the world. She has taken part in shows for brands such as Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton and Chanel.

Low growth, only 171 cm, absolutely did not prevent the American model Charlotte Free from becoming the star of many world shows. This little girl with pink hair opened the Chanel cruise line in 2015 and is currently the face of cosmetics firm Maybelline.

Thumbelina of the world of fashion

One of the shining models of the smallest stature is Devon Aoki - a girl with a bright exotic appearance and a height of 165 cm. Her career began at the age of 13, when the girl was accidentally noticed by the casting director of Calvin Klein. Her career in the fashion world was dizzying, the model has repeatedly shone at Calvin Klein shows. Due to her unusual appearance (Devon is half Japanese, half American), the girl constantly receives invitations from the best fashion houses.

One of the most famous models of small stature is our compatriot - Anya Konstantinova. Despite the absolutely “non-catwalk growth” of 163 cm, the girl became one of the most demanded top models of the planet. She collaborates with several agencies at once, her photo graces the covers of many fashion magazines.

Growth is not the main criterion

For young beauties dreaming of a career in the fashion world, it is important to know that high growth is far from the only requirement of casting agencies. Such qualities as photogenicity and good plastic are extremely important, because for a winning photo sometimes you need to freeze for a long time in an uncomfortable position. You need to be able to express any emotion that the photographer wants to see. And, preferably, it is easy and fun to do it.

Good physical shape and endurance are no less important, because the model's work can only be superficially called light. Screenings last for hours, and preparation for them is often exhausting.

And for a successful career as a model, you need to learn to perceive the world positively and with humor. The fashion world is pretty strict with beginners, and good mood can help to cope with temporary difficulties.

Directions of the model

Despite the growth criteria of models, women of small stature are often invited to shoot in catalogs of everyday clothes and accessories. You can also try yourself in commercials on TV. Or think about participating in advertising of cosmetic products, where growth is often absolutely not important, but mesmerizing glamorous photos are needed.

For a model with a short stature and a beautiful body, a career as a "lingerie" model may be suitable. Well-known brands such as Victoria's Secret invite girls with beautiful shapes and perfect skin to showcase, for example, Alexandra Ambrosio, whose swimsuit photo often adorns the cover of Victoria's Secret catalog, is only a little over 170 cm.

You can try yourself as a part-model (from the English body part (part). This is a girl who demonstrates especially beautiful parts of the body: well-groomed hands, beautiful eyes with thick eyelashes or gorgeous hair. Such models are in demand in advertising jewelry and cosmetics, and growth there will not make any difference.

An example of success in this area of ​​the modeling business is Stacy Hennett, the owner of beautiful eyes with thick voluminous lashes. She is more than in demand in the filming of advertising for decorative cosmetics of world brands. Or Gemma Jay Sar, who is now 24 years old. Photos of her beautiful lips and an enigmatic smile adorn Tatler pages and M&S catalogs.

Fashion for graceful girls

Sometimes it is enough for a petite girl to choose the right clothes in order to become visually taller, while maintaining harmony and fragility.

The optimal models of dresses for small stature will be models made of weightless, flowing fabrics that emphasize the figure. The length of the skirt to the knees looks good, which will favorably emphasize the slender legs.

It is a misconception that long dresses are not suitable for short girls. How they fit! Just do not choose lush outfits made of dense fabric, stop your attention on fitted models with freely falling skirts made of soft fabric.

Ensembles with a v-neck and an accent on the waist look very harmonious on models of small stature.

Tiny girls shouldn't be shy about wearing brightly colored clothes. Of course, the main thing is not to overdo it, but a bright stylish raincoat or dress with a scent of the current shade will not let you get lost in the crowd.

The main rule for choosing clothes is that it should fit perfectly on the figure. Subject to the correct proportions, even with small stature, the choice of stylish clothes is not limited.

In order to start a career as a model, it will not be enough just a beautiful appearance and desire. The first step is to find a good one professional photographer to help you take pictures for your portfolio. It is better to turn to several professionals, then the portfolio will turn out to be more interesting and varied.

For a beginner model, it is optimal to look for a photographer, in whose studio they will help to apply the correct makeup for close-up shots. A beginner model of small stature during a photo shoot on the street needs an angle in which her small growth will not be noticeable. And, of course, you should not be photographed next to people whose height is much taller.

When deciding which agencies to send resumes and portfolios to, you can include those that do body part shots or develop clothing and footwear catalogs.

It practically does not matter how tall a girl is, if there is a strong desire to make a career in the fashion industry. The profession of a model has many directions, and such a highlight as short stature can help to find the profession of a dream.

Kinematic diagram of the model 165 screw-cutting lathe

Structural scheme lathe 165 (with kinematic diagram 2)

Kinematic diagram of the screw-cutting lathe 165

The main movement is driven by an electric motor through a V-belt transmission.

The gearbox informs the spindle of 24 different speeds of both forward and reverse rotation through the kinematic chains according to table. 4.

The spindle is reversed by an electric motor.

On the shaft IX of the gearbox, rotation is transmitted from the spindle through the gears 21-22, 26-27 or from the V shaft (when the step increases by eight times) through the gears 16-24, 23-22, 26-27. Ball IX in this case receives respectively one or eight revolutions per one revolution of the spindle.

The block of gears 25 and 28 is designed to change the direction of movement of the carriage when threading.

The movement is transmitted to the feed box from shaft IX through replaceable gear wheels 30-32-31.

The feed box communicates to the caliper through the freewheel, the XXIII travel shaft and the apron mechanism 32 longitudinal and transverse feeds.

The calculation of the kinematic chain of longitudinal and transverse feeds is carried out according to the formula


i = i cm * i c.p * i f


i cm - gear ratio of replaceable gear wheels;

i k.p - gear ratio of the feed box;

i f - apron gear ratio.

The kinematic chains through which the feed is carried out are given in table. 5 for the feed box and in table. 6 for the apron.

Threading is carried out through the kinematic chains of the feed box, given in table. 7. In addition, threading can be performed by direct connection of the lead screw with replaceable gears, selecting the appropriate i cm (see Table 24). The range of feeds and threads is expanded with the use of an eight-fold increase in the pitch.

The list of elements of the kinematic diagram (see Fig. 4) is given in table. 8, and corrected gears - in Table 9.

Brief description of the model 165 screw-cutting lathe

Stanina

The bed is the basic assembly unit on which all other assembly units and machine mechanisms are mounted.

On the upper part of the bed there are three prismatic guides, of which the front and rear are the base of the carriage, and the middle one is the base of the tailstock.

Inside the bed there are inclined hatches for the removal of chips and coolant in the direction opposite to the workplace.

There are niches under the left head part of the bed, in one of which the main drive electric motor is mounted, and in the other - an electric cooling pump with a reservoir for coolant. The trough for collecting the coolant is made monolithic with the frame body.

On the right side of the frame, on the front wall, there is a bracket with built-in supports of the lead screw and the lead shaft and a quick-movement reducer of the support with a flanged electric motor.

To prevent sagging of the lead screw and the main shaft in the machine with RMC 5000 there are two suspensions.


Front headstock of a screw-cutting lathe model 165

Front headstock of screw-cutting lathe 165


The front headstock is installed on the left head of the bed, fixed with pins and bolted.

The headstock housing contains:

  • gearbox
  • spindle assembly
  • link of step increase by eight times
  • mechanism for changing the direction of movement of the carriage when threading
  • spindle speed setting mechanism
  • Lubrication system
  • electrical cabinet

The spindle is mounted on three rolling bearings, of which the front and rear are adjustable.

See the Regulation section for a description of spindle bearing adjustments.

Setting the spindle speed, as well as setting for cutting right or left threads of normal or increased pitch, is made by moving the gears along the splined shafts using the handles located on the front wall of the headstock (see Fig. 37 and Table 22).

Shaft splines and gear teeth are hardened and ground.

Inclusion of the step increase link is possible only when working with busting.

Rear headstock

The rear headstock moves along the bed guides from the manual gearbox by rotating the roller 26 (see Fig. 3).

The headstock is attached to the bed with two clamps with three bolts.

For rigid fixation in the axial direction, there is a stop in the tailstock, which can be inserted into the cast hollows of the bed with the handle 27.

The headstock body is displaced along the bridge in the transverse direction (see subsection "Regulation").

A rotating spindle is built into the headstock quill, the bearings of the front support of which are adjusted with nuts.

Rapid movement of the quill is made by handwheel 29. locking - by handle 33.

Slow movement of the quill is carried out by handles 31 through a worm gear activated by handle 30.

For drilling, countersinking and deployment by turning the pusher 28, it is necessary to turn on the gear clutch, which rigidly connects the spindle to the quill.

The spindle of the tailstock has a slot for the legs of the tail cutting tool.

When changing the center or tool, the quill must be pushed into the headstock housing until it stops. The pusher then pushes the center or tool out of the spindle.


Caliper and carriage

The cross-type support has a longitudinal movement along with the carriage along the bed guides and transversely along the carriage guides. Both movements are carried out mechanically (with a working feed and using a fast travel mechanism) and manually.

The cutter slides, carrying the four-position tool holder, are manually moved along the guides of the pivot part, which can be rotated around the vertical axis at any angle.

The nut of the screw pair of the lateral movement of the caliper is composite and divided by an adjusting wedge. Adjustment of the gaps in the guides of the carriage, the rotary part, produced by wedges, in the "screw pair of transverse" movement of the caliper is given in subsection 2.4. "Regulation".

Machine apron

The apron is of a closed type with a removable front wall (cover).

The movement of the caliper group is transmitted by the apron mechanism from the lead shaft or lead screw.

Due to the presence of four electromagnetic clutches in the apron, the control of the mechanical movement of the support group is concentrated in one handle 23 for controlling the mechanical moves of the carriage and support (see Fig. 3), and the direction of activation of the handle coincides with the direction of feed.

By additional pressing of the button 24 (see Fig. 3), built into the handle 23, you can turn on the rapid movement of the caliper in the direction of the tilt of the control handle (23).

Thanks to the overrunning clutch, built into the feed box, the high speed can be switched on when the feed is on.

The lead screw nut is split, it is turned on by the handle 21 through the cam device.

An electromechanical interlock is provided to avoid simultaneous activation of the lead screw nut and feed.

A safety clutch mechanism is mounted in the apron, which eliminates the breakdown of the machine during overloads. Its adjustment is given in subsection 2.4. "Regulation".

Gearbox

The feed box is of a closed type with a removable front wall (lid).

The feed box mechanism allows you to get all feeds and threads cut on the machine without resorting to changing the settings of the replaceable gears.

Adjust the feed box for feeding or threading in accordance with table. 23 and 24 in the following order (see fig. 3 and fig. 38):

  • turn the handle 10 to the "off" position
  • Move the handle 14 to the "lead screw" position for threading or to the "lead roller" position - to work with feed
  • turn the handle 7 into one of three positions - "inch thread", "modular thread", "metric thread or feed"
  • set the handles 9, 12, 13 according to the table of feeds and threads to the required thread or feed, and to set the handle 9 to the desired position, bring the corresponding number on its disk under the pointer;
  • turn the handle 10 to the "on" position

When setting up for threading with a step of increased accuracy, connect the lead screw with gear couplings directly to the receiving shaft of the feed box in accordance with table. 25 (see fig. 39).

Replaceable gears

A set of replaceable gear wheels with i cm = 2/3, allowing to receive all threads and feeds specified in the "Passport" section on the machine, is installed on the wall of the headstock.

The design of the mechanism of replaceable gears provides for the possibility of installing other sets of gears.

Cartridges

The machine includes a four-jaw non-self-centering chuck with a diameter of 1000 mm.

Lunettes

For processing non-rigid parts, the machine is equipped with two steady rests - movable and fixed.

Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne, Laetitia Casta - all these beauties became famous all over the world thanks to their successful career in the modeling business. Do you think they are all tall, long and slender? But no! Well, of course, they are slender, but as for supermodels, they are too small. With an increase of 1.70 it will be "oh" how difficult it is to persuade casting managers to take on this or that show, shooting or other project. In spite of existing rules, these top models managed not only to convince the agencies of their peculiarity, but also to build a dizzying career in the modeling business.

Height: 1.70. What is famous for: first of all, because she is Kate Moss. =) But before she earned a "name", Kate created the so-called. the trend for thinness "heroin chic", and also shone on the shows of brands such as Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton and Chanel.

Height: 1.73. What she is famous for: One of the most read accounts on Instagram among the show business elite, as well as fashion shows at the shows of Saint Laurent, Burberry, Fendi, Chanel and other famous brands. Its growth at one time caused a lot of controversy among representatives of agencies and brand management. Kara herself assures that she still does not know her exact parameters and complains that even now she is being told that she is too small for a big podium.

Height: 1.71. What She Is Famous For: This American model, the face of Maybelline, is famous for her hot pink hair, which has become a trend among fashionistas on Tumblr. Yes, her height is only 1.71, but that did not stop her from becoming the star of the Chanel show (she even opened the 2015 cruise collection show), as well as the face of Chanel eyewear.

Height: 1.70. Best known for: Georgia is the daughter of rock musician Mick Jagger and top model Jerry Hall. She followed in her mother's footsteps, despite her rather modest stature. She repeatedly defiled at the shows of Fendi, Louis Vuitton and Chanel.

Height: 1.65. Best known for: The smallest model in the world. But this did not stop her from shining at the shows of Chanel and Versace.

Height: 1.69... What is famous for: she has repeatedly shone at the shows of Victoria's Secret, Louis Vuitton, Roberto Cavalli and other brands, despite her small stature, Letizia is the favorite of many couturiers, including Dominico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.

Model show business attracts many young girls. Beauty, style, fame, paparazzi flash, it's all so tempting. But is it easy to be a model? Diets, constant emotional and physical stress, are not as colorful as we think. The weight of the models must be constant at all times and the skin must be perfectly smooth. And this is an unreal work that requires a lot of attention and perseverance.

Ideal model parameters

The model has a beautiful life, probably every girl thinks so. As a child, everyone dreams of getting on the catwalk, or conquering fashionable glossy magazines. But is it as easy as it seems at first glance? If you look at the table, which is not at all as joyful as the smile of world stars in the photographs:

If nutritionists see these numbers, they will be horrified. With such proportions, where the height of the models is not at all proportional to the weight, it is quite possible to get anorexia. Models, whose weight is ideal, are faced with such a problem as wasting, and they do not hide it. Except for going on a diet, there is no way to achieve such a weight, even if you have a super fast metabolism. Being a model is quite difficult, as keeping the ideal weight is a very difficult task.

Secrets of the best models in the world

The fashion industry is developing by leaps and bounds. Females from 12 years old to 21 years old can get into this area. The parameters of the model do not depend on its age, the main thing is that the available data coincide with the tabulated data (weight, height, chest, hips, waist). But you should not waste your health by dieting in order to achieve such parameters. After all, not many can achieve results in this business, but spoil their health, while they succeed.

World-class models are known, with their ideal proportions:

  • Twiggy. The smallest and most fragile model that brought thinness into fashion. Her parameters are 78-50-81 (chest, waist, hips);
  • Claudia Schiffer. The world model, which has parameters -83-60-88;
  • Naomi Campbell - 80-60-86;
  • Natalya Vodyanova. The model of the highest category, and its ideal parameters are 86-61-86;
  • Heidi Klum -94-65-98.

From the above list, it can be seen that not all girls - models have ideal parameters, they certainly scold them, and they sit down on a non-rigid diet. But many designers and modeling agencies pay attention not only to weight, height, but also to the very physique of a woman.

All models of the world standard struggle with extra pounds almost every day. They go to fitness, or aerobics. They "sit down" on diets that are monitored on the Internet, or communicate personally with a nutritionist. Be sure to go jogging and go to the pool. The life of the model is not as rosy as it seems at first glance. The constant struggle for the best contracts, grueling diets and constant physical activity exhaust the girls, but on the other hand, the delight of the fans and the outbreaks of the paparazzi do their job.

If you decide to get closer to an ideal figure, then start with vigorous physical activity combined with a strict diet.

Ideal parameters, history

Models' ideal height is not entirely proportional to their weight. If we are used to the fact that a girl is 178 cm tall and should weigh 68 kg, then in the modeling business everything is different. Here, the perception of such a correct, from the side of medicine, proportions radically changes. With a height of 178 cm, the weight of the model girl is 48 kg. Impressive. But in addition to weight, it is important to observe proportions.

Even if a girl does not work in the modeling business, she strives to have perfect proportions. But have such parameters always been considered beautiful? For every time, there are their own standards of beauty and their own ideal views on this:

  • The centuries of antiquity. At this time, magnificent forms were considered beautiful. A striking example of that era is Aphrodite of Cnidus. She had interesting, and most importantly, magnificent parameters. With a height of 164 cm, the beauty had a chest volume of 94 cm, and a waist of 72 cm, while all hips were 96 cm.If you ask what these parameters were associated with, then the answer lies in the fact that in that era there were a lot of people ate, everything was enough, therefore, calories were not counted. And if a person is handsome, magnificent, then he is not poor and he has everything;
  • Middle Ages. During this period, he is known for his self-restraint in everything, and the female figure is no exception. Historians claim that at that time the ideal female figure should have had the following parameters: chest 79 cm, waist 62 cm. Even our days can envy such parameters. The only thing that remained unknown were the parameters of the hips, since the fashion of that time dictated wearing wide skirts to the floor;
  • The Age of Objection. This time boasts beauties with curvaceous forms, not tall;
  • Rubenovskie ladies. It's no secret that the ladies of that time were the owners of magnificent forms, where the girth of the chest and hips was 98 cm, and the waist was 72 cm.

Already in the 19th century, the owner of a lush chest, but a thin waist, is considered the ideal of female beauty. A striking example of such a lady is Natal Goncharova. The waist is 42 cm, the chest is 96 cm.And the XX century is characterized by girls of a sporty constitution with a chest volume of 90-93 cm, a waist of 60-65 cm, and a hip of 94-96 cm.

Parameters 90-60-90 have their own history. There are a couple of legends that reveal the secret of such interesting numbers. One of which suggests that Merlin Monroe herself possessed such parameters, although her height was below ideal. Therefore, it is difficult to say that she was very thin. Another version suggests that such parameters were chosen by the designers themselves, in order to simplify their work. It's easier to make patterns. The middle of the 20th century, when the first fashion houses were already open. It was at this time that thinness came into fashion.

Psychologists, on the other hand, say that the fashion for thinness came from the fact that people do not want to grow up. That is, after the times when curvy shapes were in fashion, the peak of popularity comes healthy image life where it is important to be in shape, to be athletic. Youth, something that everyone wants to see, and no one wants to accept themselves as adults and not as attractive as before. Since fashion is something High, and everyone strives to be stylish, thinness reflects the dreams of every lady. Therefore, such parameters are considered the best for perception and work. Therefore, being thin means being fashionable.

To become a model, you don't have to be tall, thin and graceful. Men and women with a height of 165 centimeters and below can get a contract in a modeling agency if they know what their strengths and weak sides... In the world of fashion, tall and thin models play a key role, but there are other opportunities for self-realization. If you apply your strengths where they are needed, you can succeed.

Steps

How to get noticed

    Meet the photographer. Before you start looking for a job, you should find good photographer... It is best to find a photographer who can both take pictures of you and do your makeup. For a close-up shot, you will need to use a little makeup.

    • Search the internet for such photographers.
    • You may also be able to find a photographer through the agency you plan to work with.
  1. Pay for the work of the photographer. Yes, you have to pay for the close-up shots. This will require a certain cost, but the work of the model often requires some effort. You need to get the best quality pictures possible. Try to find a photographer with makeup options.

    • The photographer will take several pictures (sometimes this number reaches hundreds), and then will offer you to choose the photos for processing.
    • Pictures can be taken outdoors and in the studio. Both of those, and others will help you find a job if they are done by a professional photographer.
  2. Explore information about different modeling agencies. Talk to friends who work in the industry and ask people in modeling agencies for advice. If they don’t have useful contacts, research information about local agencies on the Internet. It is better to work with an agency located in your city than to spend more than an hour on the road one way.

    Contact a modeling agency. Go there yourself if it suits you. Better to meet with the agency representatives in person. Make an appointment and bring close-up photos with you. Be confident, but remember that you should listen carefully to the recommendations of the agency employee. Send emails to other agencies if you think they might work with you.

    • Look for agencies that do body part shots or other shoots that offer a wider variety of shapes.
    • Become professional. If you decide to write email, don't forget to attach pictures.
    • Tell us about your experience in modeling or your acting experience.
    • It will not be superfluous to write to several agencies.
  3. Create a web profile for your model. There are special sites that are databases for models and companies looking for models. Registration on such sites is usually free of charge. You will need to describe yourself and tell what kind of job you are looking for. Be honest about your height and size.

    • You may feel like you are depriving yourself of certain opportunities by specifying your parameters, but know that agencies will appreciate your honesty. There is work for everyone.
    • An example of such a site is http://www.modelmanagement.com/.
  4. Move to a large city. It is not very convenient, but everything interesting in the modeling business happens in large cities. This is where you can take your chance, if you have one. It is not necessary to move to the capital to become a model, but it can be beneficial. If you live in small town or a village, consider moving to at least the nearest major city.

    • For example, if you live in Vladimir, move to Nizhny Novgorod.
  5. Take any job in the beginning. At the very beginning, it is important to gain experience for your portfolio. Take any job as long as it doesn't conflict with your moral principles. Work experience will make it clear to potential employers that you know what it means to be a model.

    • Perhaps you should start by taking pictures of individual body parts. In such shooting, individual parts of the body (for example, hands) are photographed.
    • You can also shoot for the catalog. For catalogs, people of different sizes are often filmed to show how clothes can fit on ordinary people.

    How to create a portfolio

    1. Decide which job interests you. In the modeling business, there are several types of work for people of short stature. Usually, high-fashion remains available only for tall and thin, but there are other options. Consider the following filming options:

      Pick up photos. A beginner model should have 5-8 shots. In these pictures, you must show everything that you can do. If you already have multiple photos taken by the same photographer, try working with other photographers. The beauty of photography is that it can be difficult to measure height in pictures, unless you are standing next to something that allows you to gauge the scale.

    2. Make yourself visible. On the internet you will find examples of model portfolios. They will help you understand how you should present yourself, but they will also help you understand how you can make your portfolio stand out. Try to add high-quality snapshot where you practice your favorite hobby. For example, if you love to cook, include a photo of you in the kitchen in your portfolio.

      • Photos should be different, including personal photos.
      • Add a photo that demonstrates your skills and makes it clear that your short stature does not bother you. For example, you know how to grimace. This will let the agencies know that you know how to work, and growth will not play an important role.
      • Sometimes agencies pay attention to specific personal photos.
    3. Prepare a package of documents. Print pictures in high definition... All agencies have their own preferences for size: some need large, others small. Be sure to include the following information:

      • Name, address, contact details
      • Short description experience and goals in the modeling business
      • Description of skills, including proficiency foreign languages, acting and vocal experience and so on.
