| Born on Christmas day in 1968 to a Danish father and Peruvian mother, Helena grew up in Denmark. Her childhood interests included music and photography. As a child Helena was more interested in becoming a musician, but as fate would have it began modeling at the age of 9. After leaving school, she moved to Paris, France to model for the French magazine Elle, and in 1986 she competed in the Miss Universe contest as Miss Denmark, but unfortunately did not receive a placing. Her big break came in June of 1989 when she was discovered by photographer Friedemann Hauss, who instinctively knew that Helena was a 'natural' in terms of modeling ability. A cover shoot by Peter Lindbergh for Vogue followed, and within a short period, Helena was getting prominent contracts from leading designers on both sides of the Atlantic. She is now one of the top international catwalk queens. One of Helena's career highlights occurred outside of the normal modeling world. She was cast in 1991 for the video Wicked Game, Chris Isaac's single. The haunting song tells the tale of love gone bad. Wicked Game is still regularly aired on music channels, and was selected as the Sexiest Video of All-Time by MTV. Helena has also worked in various film and television projects. These include: the MTV fashion show Fashionably Loud, the 1992 independent film Inferno. Helena was also seen prominently on American television in ads for the lingerie company Victoria's Secret. It is for her work for Victoria's Secret she is perhaps best known. She appears regularly in everyone's favorite lingerie company's catalogs as well as in televised ad campaigns. Helena maintains residences in New York, Monaco, and her native Copenhagen. She turns up every so often in the New York social-life columns as having attended events such as fundraisers, show openings, or movie premieres. some of her interests include painting, photography, interior decorating, and Rock music. Her exotic unique face is what has made her so popular with magazine editors, fashion designers. |
