“I had a really good time in my 20s… and my 30s and 40s,” quips Helena Christensen. The ’90s fashion icon and our July/August 2025 issue cover star reflects on a life lived boldly and instinctively. From pounding therunways, scoring major brand campaigns and cover shoots, to exploring her creativity behind the camera, Helena has never followed a conventional path. Today, she’s as relevant as ever – not just as a symbol of enduring beauty, but as a creative visionary and humanitarian. After a decades-long career driven by adventure and reinvention, this chapter may be Helena’s most radical act yet; one defined not by bright lights or fashion’s frenzy, but by creative freedom, purpose, and a quiet kind of accomplishment.
