Petite modelling is now commonplace in the modelling industry. There are many petite models, both men and women models.
It's a market that many high street fashion stores have developed by producing petite clothing ranges and smaller size shoes designed specifically for their shorter and smaller customers. Petite models are always needed to advertise these petite clothes in adverts and catalogues.

In the fashion industry, a petite model is usually shorter than 5 feet 7 inches which does not meet the criteria of fashion or runway model, but there is plenty other types of modeling.
There are designers and stores that focus on petite models and clothes. Starting out as a petite model may force one to work free for a while. Looking for a petite modeling agency will be hard because they are not called Petite Modeling Agencies (if they are, be cautious). They are usually called Commercial and Print Agencies. They are not fashion agencies. If you are a petite model, keep in mind that newspapers, grocery stores, colleges, and magazines need models.
Compared to the plus-sizes industry, promotion of petite sizes in magazines and the fashion world is less prominent, even though many well-known celebrities are short.

As the famous saying goes,"good things come in small packages", modelling offers variety with many petit models in catalogues, beauty, commercial and even promotions. In general high fashion catwalk has been the only type of modelling in which height is a major factor.
