“A Modern-Day Cleopatra with a dash of Martha Stewart and a Carrie Bradshaw Sex and the City twist!”

A bit about me…

Born and raised in Australia with an Italian heritage. My journey into a career as a model and actress began in Perth, Western Australia. However, my passion for the Arts, Film, Fashion, and all things Beauty led to a career overseas, taking me from Australia to New York, “From the convent to the Catwalk!” I began working in the modelling industry as an international model at a young age. From New York, I worked my way around the fashion capitals and started honing my performance skills on-screen and learning the craft of acting for theatre, film and television. Studying at top-tier institutions and academies in both the United States and Australia, I Was building my portfolio and career across fashion meccas such as New York, London, Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sydney, and Melbourne, marked by successful collaborations with illustrious brands and networks, including Tropfest, ABC, Foxtel, MTV UK, CH 10, and high-profile projects and campaigns with Virgin, Lavazza, Kit Kat, Smirnoff, Woman’s Day, New Idea, AFI, Mattel, Reebok, Nike and Richard Branson have added to the rich tapestry.

Living my dreams out loud and proudly featuring in campaigns, editorials, catalogues and cinema ads for iconic brands and networks and working with prestigious clients and trailblazers that make up the industry. Whilst forging a successful career in front of the camera, I expanded into broadcast media, with experience that now spans acting, presenting, hosting and modelling.

There’s no doubt that my roots in modelling and the Arts are the gifts that keep on giving and the pivotal platform and foundation for which everything else in my career has been built. I’m forever grateful for this wonderful opportunity and to continue doing what I love and collaborating with the amazingly talented people in the related industries.

A passionate career working behind the camera has evolved and ensued over the years as well, and Beauty has been a natural evolution for me. As well as my Production Company that produces beauty-centric media, I have developed and formulated a Unisex Skincare Brand with a range of formulated Australian skincare I personally formulated with a chemist in Australia, along with DK Beauty Coaching & Anti-Ageing Programs, Ebooks, TV Show, Documentary Film, and a Feature Film script are all a part of my ever-expanding portfolio.

Working behind the camera as well as a freelance Creative Director with a unique 360 perspective working with fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands, and Media Specialist specialising in television, video and online media production working with brands and networks bringing their ideas to life!

A lifelong passion for health, fitness, cooking, and making my own skincare and beauty products and ancient remedies at home has served me well and has given my career longevity in front of the camera and others are always curious about my diet and beauty regimen so I created my Collagen Skin Gym program and Donna King’s Beauty Kitchen to enrich the lives of others and share my wholesome approach to beauty, diet and anti-aging with tried and true formulas and ancient remedies, wisdoms and therapies that really work! Along with my model tips and tricks and glow rituals picked up along the way, working with the best in the business.

I love old-school beauty, glamour, fashion, cooking, art, collecting books, especially cookbooks, old movies and romance. Maybe this side of myself is down to my Italian heritage, which gives me a deep desire to keep old traditions alive. But these are complicated times for us modern gals with old-school values and traditions, it’s the paradox of my life.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me exploring the city and eating out, shopping, admiring old architecture and heritage buildings. I especially love churches and cathedrals. I’m a longtime devotee of yoga and Tai Chi, and I work with crystals, sound bowls, and I meditate. I’m not a gym girl. But when I want to get my blood pumping, I go hiking, beachcombing, swimming, and love to pack my backpack and follow a forest trail somewhere; ironically, it’s where I find myself. I just love immersing myself in the beauty of Mother Nature 🦋 Oh, I love animals too! I especially love dogs, they are my absolute favourite. (don’t tell my cat)

BeYOUtiful! 💕Love, Donna X
