The Towering Presence: Tall Models and Their Lasting Influence on Global Fashion

Fashion schools and modeling academies emphasize posture, stride, and movement, especially for tall aspiring models. Training a tall body to move gracefully on the runway requires practice, as long limbs can create challenges in balance and coordination.
