PETITES IN PARIS Help send Why Not Petites and Balloon Marshelly to Paris Fashion Week. OUR SHORT STORY The industry typically calls any female 5&#39;6&quot; and under or male 5&#39;10 and under, &quot;petite,&quot; and rarely makes room for them on the runway. A spot at Paris Fashion Week is rarer still. Balloons Marshelly has heard a version of the same doubt. Now, both answer back. Why Not Petites is a Chicago-based modeling collective committed to being the cornerstone for petite models, mentoring seasoned and budding talent alike and guiding them toward success in an industry that too often overlooks them. Balloon Marshelly is couture like you&#39;ve never seen it: gowns sculpted entirely from balloons, built to move down a runway. It&#39;s a bold answer to the same question that started it all: WHY NOT?
