In honor of their 125th anniversary, German underwear manufacturer Triumph International has chosen supermodel Helena Christensen as the newest face of the brand, reports Coco Perez.
The half-Danish, half-Peruvian beauty appears in a series of print ads wearing nothing but the label’s Essence lingerie sets, paired with pantyhose and high heels.
The 125th anniversary collection will include a premium range of silk bras, corsets, suspenders and nighties that are expected to retail between $40 to $165 apiece.
Despite being named the most beautiful body in the world by late fashion mogul Gianni Versace, the supermodel admits that she still has some issues with her body image.
"It’s not like [I] wake up in the morning going, ‘Oh I’m so perfect, I don’t need to do anything.’ Every [model] I know in this business has the same issues as every other woman, maybe more so. You can easily be made to feel self-conscious in this job," she explained to the Telegraph.
"It’s really intimidating to go on the beach in a bikini. If someone is painting neon circles around parts of your body, like those pathetic tabloid magazines, it makes me so angry. I can’t believe that humans have sunk to this level; it’s so ingrained, people are brainwashed with it."
Christensen will also appear alongside fellow models Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova and Yasmin Le Bon in Duran Duran’s new music video for their single Girl Panic!
