Helena Christensen

“My style is a little bit eclectic, a little bit bohemian. I like to mix and match.”

“I have to be in a bathing suit. I have to be in the water. I have to be in the sun.”

“I need my bare feet on the earth. It's like a magnet.”

“I love vintage clothes. But I don't have the patience to go and try them on.”

“I don't think you're ever an objective observer. By the very nature of photography, you're framing the world in a certain way.”

“For me, the sexiest thing is in the eyes. I've always been a big fan of a good pair of eyes.”

“I've always been very aware of my body and my sensuality. I've always felt very comfortable in my own skin.”

“I'd rather be interesting than beautiful.”

“I find it very sad that so many girls who look up to me are starving themselves. I'd rather be a good role model.”

“The most important thing to do is to be your own person, to have your own sense of style and your own opinions.”

“I'm a photographer, and I think that I'm a painter. I'm a storyteller.”

“I'm half Peruvian, half Danish, and I think that's why I'm so interested in other cultures.”

“I don't really follow trends. I'm not really a fashion person. I'm more of a style person.”

“I always look for the weirdest, most genuine people. I don't like people who are too polished.”
