Abercrombie & Fitch Cover Model Albert Reed Signs with John Crosby Management

Wednesday February 2, 7:50 am ET

Next Stop for Reed: Hollywood

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Fresh off a weeklong shoot in Scotland for Cottonfield's autumn catalog, model Albert Reed (http://www.albertreed.net), the 19-year-old face of Abercrombie & Fitch, was spotted in December by top talent management firm John Crosby Management. Now the company has announced it will represent Reed, an aspiring actor and musician.

Established in 1990, John Crosby Management has been responsible for helping to develop some of Hollywood's top talent. John Crosby currently represents a select list of clients including Rene Russo, John Hurt, Emmy winner Shia LaBeouf, and "Desperate Housewives" star James Denton.

The firm has already matched Reed with a prominent New York acting coach. In addition, Reed has just signed with Innovative Artists Talent and Literary Agency in New York and Bleu Model Management in Los Angeles - and is featured as one the "24 freshest faces on the Miami modeling scene" in the January print and online issues of Ocean Drive magazine.

In short, Albert Reed has had a very good month. But then, the last three years have been good to Reed as well. Since walking into KARIN Models in Miami as a sixteen-year-old surfer and being signed on the spot, Reed's career has been nothing short of phenomenal. He began modeling full-time after high school, appearing in numerous magazines, print ads, catalogs and runways for everyone from Levi Strauss & Co. to Chanel. Shortly after appearing on the cover of the Abercrombie & Fitch 2004 back-to-school catalog, Reed was featured in that company's short football-themed video. Cosmopolitan magazine named Reed the December 2004 "Guy Without His Shirt," and Chicago Fashion Magazine's online edition is currently featuring an interview with him.

Reed acknowledges the ride from teenaged surfer to international model has been a wild one. But one thing seems clear: in signing with John Crosby, the rising star of the modeling industry may soon find himself on a similar trajectory in the world of film and television.

Abercrombie & Fitch Cover Model Albert Reed Discovered By Fate When Accompanying Friend to Agency

PRESS RELEASE

Tuesday September 7, 7:42 am ET

NEW YORK, Sept. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Albert Reed, the new face of popular fashion outlet Abercrombie & Fitch, stormed onto the runway by chance when accompanying a friend to KARIN, a Miami modeling firm.

"Albert walked into our agency in Miami with a girlfriend who was interested in modeling. The agents at KARIN quickly looked past his friend, seeing Albert's potential, and signed him on the spot -- something which rarely happens," said Khalid Salaam of KARIN. "We knew this was someone who would eventually draw the attention of top clients and possibly have a great future in TV and film."

Since that fortuitous moment, Miami native Albert Reed, 19, has experienced a rapid, high-profile rise in the fashion spotlight. Following his discovery, Reed signed on to a steady string of modeling jobs in both the United States and Europe, including a major shoot for the Italian sportswear company SLAM, which featured Reed as the sole male model in its Spring/Summer 2004 catalog. Reed recently returned to Italy to shoot SLAM's Fall 2004 catalog.

Reed's biggest break, however, came when KARIN arranged for Reed to meet with internationally-acclaimed photographer Bruce Weber. This meeting led to a photo shoot for clothing giant Abercrombie & Fitch, which also hired Reed to star in a video for its website. After shooting the video, Reed learned that Abercrombie & Fitch had selected him to star on the cover of the 2004 back-to-school catalog.

The catalog, sent to 10 million homes throughout the United States, thrust Reed's face into the mainstream public eye and made him an overnight icon of boy-next-door good looks, youthful vitality, and all-American outdoor sportsmanship. "America started asking, 'Who is this guy with the LIVE TO SURF tattoo on the billboard in Times Square?'" said Salaam.-
