This 3ft 4in Model Is Breaking All Stereotypes In The Fashion Industry
82Kviews
Dru Presta, 21, is set to change the fashion industry. This beautiful girl was born with a form of dwarfism and is 3 feet 4 inches (around 1 meter) tall, but that does not stop her from following her dreams of a photo model and inspiring people along the way.
From a very young age, Dru was bullied because of her condition, achondroplasia. Dru is the only person in her family with dwarfism, so there were not many people in her hometown of Reno, Nevada, that were able to understand what she was going through. However, all the mean words did not stop the beautiful woman; they made her stronger instead.
She moved to LA and started modeling to break the boundaries of the fashion industry beauty standards and inspire other people with similar conditions to follow their dreams.
“I want everybody in the fashion world just to be accepted. I want anybody to be able to walk that runway just like any fashion model would – whether you see them rolling down the runway in your wheelchair or on crutches.”

I think like with "plus sized" models, the real challenge is that designers tend to design for a specific body type... but she makes everything she's wearing look good. She's killin' it.
I think that’s fallacious thinking and here’s why: more than half of American women are overweight, and that’s putting it lightly. Yet the models for the clothes people buy are all like in the bottom 10% of weight. Most models are skinny AF, which works out fine because bigger people still buy the clothes. She’s just a model. She can still model clothing for taller people. Most of us don’t buy size zero clothing. But we see size zero models on the runway and still go buy those fashions. Seeing a cool top on a tiny person doesn’t make a taller person want it less. I’d wear some of the outfits she displayed. It’s about the clothes, not the model. Plus sized models are marketing clothes for plus sized women, which is a separate challenge. But this tiny model could just market clothes to average height women. I don’t think she’s asking designers to open a new market of tiny outfits. She just wants to be let on the runway.
I don't think that's what they were saying. But it is known that models are preferred to be taller and thin so the clothes hang on them a certain way. Yes the mass produced ready to wear looks are for people of MOST sizes. But not all. There's some designer clothing that isn't able to be ordered in anything over a 14. You can find that on the Halston website I believe, I think that's the last place I saw that. Of course she's not asking them to make her clothes but they may very well have to. And that's awesome that they will do it if that's the case. But regardless of how the fashion industry is changing in regards to size the model world is still largely full of tell and thin girls. You look at a collection and it's all thin women and 1 plus size woman modeling the clothes. And I've never seen a woman like this walk down the runway or show up in a collection in Vogue magazine. I hope I do someday
She is an inspiration for all of us outsiders. Gorgeous girl, brave girl.
Confidence is always attractive, and she seems to ooze it.
I'd like to be her friend.
What makes you say you'd want to be her friend? I'm genuinely curious as to why you would say that. You know nothing about her.
I think that she is confident, nice and funny. Not everyone would just take photos of themselfs and post them. Still don't understand? Look at her face. Think about her style.
its a question not a statement
Weird statement but anyway....
Me too 😊❤
