The former Victoria’s Secret Angel kicked off her modelling career when she won the Miss Universe Denmark title back in 1986.
She went on to become one of the original 1990s supermodels alongside Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Elle Macpherson and Claudia Schiffer.
Fellow model Christy was quick to respond to Helena’s post by revealing that her nephew James Turlington, ex-semi pro baseball player turned IMG model, also walked in the show.

Mingus, who is with the Unsigned Group modelling agency, made his runway debut back in 2017 for Calvin Klein at New York Fashion Week.
Speaking to Metro UK at the time, Helena said that her son was ‘so not’ following in her footsteps down the catwalk on a permanent basis.
‘He’s like, “This is definitely not for me, but I love [designer] Raf Simons, so I’m going to do these Calvin Klein shows,” and then he realized there are a lot of opportunities in there, that will be very beneficial.’

Helena added that she was glad Mingus – who has already taken some college courses – was not looking into modeling on a permanent basis, adding, ‘I’ve got to say, whatever he does, I’ll support him in it.’
She said that her son’s plan was to ‘work a little’ and ‘save up some money’ with the intention of pursuing a career in film making.
She added: ‘Whatever comes his way, and he feels like doing it, I’ll be right there behind him and supporting him.’
