Dwarf Models Prove Small is Beautiful at Paris Fashion Week

Female models with dwarfism took part in this year's Paris Fashion Week, as part of an initiative to break preconceived notions of beauty.

All the models measured under 4,3 ft and wore bespoke clothes designed by New York-based agency Creative Business House.

Jordanna, one of the models, had a message for anyone who saw the show.

"My message is that beauty comes in all different shapes and sizes, and also it's awareness that little people also need clothes," she said.

"When we try to go to the stores we can't find clothes that fit us the right way, or fit us like properly on our bodies."

The event was hosted by France's Ministry of Culture as part of the internationally renowned Paris Fashion Week, which runs from 29th September till 7th October.
