She was in the Victoria's Secret catalog and in their television commercials as one of the signature Angels, along with Tyra Banks, Karen Mulder, Daniela Pestova, Rebecca Romijn, and Stephanie Seymour. She also became a spokesmodel for Revlon cosmetics.

In 1991, she starred in the music video for Chris Isaak's song "Wicked Game"⁴. The video was later featured on MTV's "Sexiest Video of All-Time", voted #4 on VH1's "50 Sexiest Video Moments" and voted #13 on VH1's "100 Greatest Videos".

Business

Christensen has an antiques shop in Manhattan ⁵ and sells some of her clothes in her mother's Yo-Yo Second Hand Shop in Christianshavn.

She was a part of Nylon magazine as the original creative director with American entrepreneur Michael "Mic" Neumann. She has launched her own clothing line Christensen & Sigersen, with long-term friend Leif Sigersen. The pair also ran Butik, a shop in New York.⁶

Christensen is also a photographer, and her photos appeared in magazines such as Marie Claire and ELLE⁴. Her exhibition A Quiet Story, curated by Jim Cook, premiered in Rotterdam in 2006. Chanel Tokyo's NEXUS Gallery is scheduled to mount the exhibition in 2010.^{citation needed}

Breast cancer advocate

Christensen was in Ireland to launch the second Fashion Targets Breast Cancer campaign which involves the sale of exclusive designer t-shirts to raise millions for Action Breast Cancer (a project of the Irish Cancer Society) and Europa Donna Ireland to help younger women with breast cancer.⁷

Personal life

Helena Christensen has one child, a son named Mingus Lucien Reedus (born October 13, 1999)⁸ with actor Norman Reedus. While maintaining careers in photography and clothing design, Christensen still remains a hands-on mother to Mingus. "He's all that matters," she says. "He's my best friend."⁹ Reedus and Christensen split in 2003. From 2004 to 2006, Christensen dated Danish rock band Grand Avenue frontman Rasmus Walter-Hansen.^{citation needed} In 2008, Christensen was romantically linked to Interpol frontman Paul Banks after the two were seen kissing and Christensen was spotted at several Interpol shows.¹⁰
