I’ve taken my knickers off. My friends told me my panty line was visible, so I went without. – Helena Christensen
I felt like I was in the best photography school in the world – I had Herb Ritts, Bruce Weber, Richard Avedon and Irving Penn teach me. – Helena Christensen
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. – Helena Christensen
