Helena Christensen

Helena Christensen is a Danish model and actress, whom Gianni Versace considered the owner of the most beautiful legs in the world. Other stars of the fashion industry admire her: Karl Lagerfeld appreciated the rare type of Helena figure, and John Galliano claimed that she does not just show clothes, but fills the images with life and inner fire. Her biography is a story of rapid success, which was facilitated not only by bright appearance, but also by hard work.

Helena Christensen was born in Copenhagen on December 25, 1968. Her father was a Dane by nationality, and her mother was Peruvian, which predetermined the unusual appearance of the girl. As a child, she was fond of photography and music, and took her first steps in the modeling business at the age of 6.

Fame came to Helena at the age of 18, when she became the winner of the beauty contest "Miss Denmark". This gave her the right to represent her country at Miss Universe. The highest title girl in the end did not get, but attracted attention and gained valuable experience working with a multinational audience.

Returning from the competition, Helena decided to move to Paris. The start of her brilliant career was a successful photo shoot for Elle magazine, after which she was showered with offers of new filming. Christensen appeared on the cover of Vogue (it was filmed by Peter Lindsberg) and signed lucrative contracts with leading designers.

Helena re-established her residence and settled in New York. Loud success and recognition allowed her to choose among dozens of job offers the most interesting. The public knows her, first of all, as an angel Victoria's Secret - the model constantly appeared in new catalogs and starred in advertising underwear.

The site models.com mentioned her name in the category "Icons of Industry", and the media named her one of the best models of the 90s. In 1994, Helena took part in the filming of the famous Calendar Pirelli - that issue was shot by American photographer Herb Ritz.

Five years later, Christensen took over as artistic director of Nylon magazine and launched her own clothing line, which was sold in New York boutiques. When Helena was asked if she thought her outfits were comfortable, she said she didn't care - when she came up with them, she wasn't worried about anyone but herself. The audacious quote from the interview was remembered by journalists and colleagues for a long time.

In the fashion industry Helena became famous for courage: she was not afraid to participate in scandalous projects and was not shy to get naked. Once her racy promotional photo, in which the body of a girl only slightly covered a fig leaf, placed on a giant billboard right in Times Square.

Christensen did not leave the children's fascination with photography. She has dozens of solo exhibitions for charity, and her photos regularly appeared in Marie Claire and ELLE magazines.

In 1991, Christensen was cast for Chris Isaac's music video for Wicked Game and successfully passed it. She got the role of a fatal beauty, broke the heart of the main character. The shooting took place on a Hawaiian beach and included very explicit scenes, which, however, did not bother Helena.

As a result, the video was called by MTV one of the sexiest videos of all time, and for Christensen it was the beginning of the journey on the big screen. In total, her filmography made a little more than a dozen films, mostly short films.

The fascination of the beautiful Helena invariably attracted the attention of the media, especially since her personal life has always been turbulent. The most famous novel was a union with Michael Hutchins, lead singer of the band INXS. The pair stayed together for five years before splitting up, calling the cause a chilling feeling. Later it became known about Christensen's relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio, he was replaced by Billy Cogan, but these novels were short-term.

The next choice was the American actor Norman Reedus, from whom Helena on October 13, 1999 gave birth to her only child - a son named Mingus Lucien. She also broke up with Reedus after five years of marriage, never marrying.

None of Christensen's many fans became her husband. In the interview, Helena admitted that she simply can not get along with a man under the same roof, so with all the chosen she just met.

At one time Helena stated that she wanted more children, but never met the one from whom she would like to give birth to them.

The model maintains a long-standing friendship with colleagues on the shop floor - Claudia Schiffer, Carla Bruni and Eva Herzigova. In her youth, Helena did not bother exhausting training, limited to basic exercises, until she decided that she wanted to become stronger - since then in her life there were regular boxing training. Christensen is also fond of ballet and running.

In 2018, 49-year-old Helena starred in a new photo shoot, recreating a rare series of pictures for InStyle magazine.

Then she showed off swimwear, including the original metal model Thierry Mugle (this picture adorned the cover of L.A. Style in 1991), and now again appeared before fans in the same images, showing a perfectly preserved chiseled figure.

Also recently, the model announced the beginning of cooperation with HUAWEI. It all started with an Instagram post promoting a new model of the phone, later Christensen starred in a campaign video and became the face of the brand.
