Happy Birthday: Helena Christensen

Helena Christensen

Born: December 25, 1968 in Copenhagen, Denmark

Modelling is a silly, crazy business.

So many times I’ve wanted to crack up, standing there stiff while seven women are crawling round my toes fixing hems and the designer’s having a freak-out because the denim cuffs are crooked. I’m on the verge of hysteria.

Kate is going to come back, she is going to be super-strong again. Everybody is going to want her again because she is that kind of person. She is very professional and beautiful and she is going to be around forever.

I was once stranded on a broken-down boat in shark-infested waters in the middle of the Indian Ocean for five days before we were rescued while doing a ‘Vogue’ shoot.
