text: are there any famous models that are 5'4" or 5'5"?? just wondering if you are talking about runway models --- no... kate moss is an exception at 5'7" tall.  designers make haute coutour clothes for tall women -- they fall better on tall lanky figures.  however - there are many other types of models other than just runway fashion models...  and i am pretty sure if you are not modeling on a runway, you don't have to be extraordinarily tall.
