Career

Initially, Reece King was not interested in being a model. He was busy with his education, skating, and hanging out with his friends. It all changed when he posted a photo of himself on Instagram wearing a LAMODA septum ring. LAMODA found out about it and reposted the picture.

Soon, it went viral and King suddenly started getting modelling offers. Two weeks after the post, he met his current agent, Leah Hibbert, who signed him with the Supa Model Management. Some of the prominent brands he has since worked for are GAP, Forever 21, and John Elliott.

Prior to becoming a model, King worked in retail. After the viral Instagram post with the LAMODA septum ring, clothing company Deck reached out and asked him to send some of his clothing items to them. At first, it was “just strictly business”. However, after he started promoting their merchandise, Deck offered him the chance to sell his clothes under their brand.

In 2017, the Deck x King clothing subsidiary was launched

He has stated that he considers being financially secure to be the best part of being a model.

He also loves that he gets to travel a lot because of his profession and once stated in an interview, “Every place I’ve got to travel to I haven’t been before.”
