With Mother's Day coming up, the supermodel reflects on her role as a mom, the meaning of love, and her favorite Pandora pieces for this May 10th

The story of Pandora and <a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/Fashion/brooke-shields-helena-christensen-fashion-legends-super-model-icons">Helena Christensen </a>began in the same place: Denmark. But the future of the <a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/pop-culture/supermodels-90s-photos-runaway-cindy-naomi-linda-kate-moss">supermodel</a> (and that of the jewelry firm, too) was destined to be global. It was thus that after being discovered as a promise of modeling, Christensen traveled around the world to walk on the catwalks of established firms such as <a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/Fashion/microbags-spring-summer-trend-chanel-fendi-jacquemus">Chanel</a> and<a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/fashion-week/milan-fashion-week-2021-is-over-best-shows"> Valentino </a>to become a<a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/Fashion/diane-keaton-actress-is-still-a-style-icon"> fashion icon </a>during the 1990s.

Currently, Christensen , based in New York City, combines the world of modeling with photography and the philanthropic causes for which she fights every day such as climate change and breast cancer. On this occasion, the model meets Pandora to celebrate this May 10 and exclusively reveals her vision of motherhood.

L&#39;OFFICIEL : Describe maternal love in three words.

HELENA CHRISTENSEN : &laquo;Maternal love in three words. Pure, infinite, honest &raquo;.

LO : What is the best advice you have been given about motherhood?

HC : &ldquo;When you have a child, it is as if you fill a bottle with all the pure love, strength, hope and trust that you can, because once you let them live, they will have that bottle full for the rest of their lives. &quot;

LO : How would you describe your relationship with your son Mingus?

HC : &laquo;My son transmits many things to me. You can teach your children a lot as they grow, but suddenly that dynamic changes and the next thing that happens is that you listen to them and you see yourself through their eyes, and that is a really incredible experience.

LO : How have you managed to balance being a mother with everyday life?

HC : &laquo;I was very lucky to have my mother present. She was a great help and there is something very nice about a child being with his grandmother, or with his grandparents, from the beginning. You have your parents, but it is wonderful to have someone who has already been through the same thing and who is so close to you, helps you, supports you and is there for you. It was the greatest gift they could give me. Now my son doesn&#39;t need me in the same way, but you know, you always need your parents. You always seek his love, his support. And once you are a father, you are a father for life.

LO : You were always the supermodel who took your parents around the world backstage at shows ... What did it mean to you to have that support?

HC : &laquo;From the beginning of my career I had the great luck that my parents were there with me; even my grandparents accompanied me sometimes. I included them in everything, which also meant that, in a very beautiful way, they ended up being the parents of all my classmates, of all the girls around me. Because not everyone was lucky enough that their parents could travel or be with them, as much as I did.

LO : If you could choose one piece from the collection that you would like to receive this Mother&#39;s Day, what would it be and why?

HC : &laquo;I would love for my son to give me the Love You Infinity Heart pendant charm, because it would be beautiful to know that this Mother&#39;s Day, there is an infinite bond between him and me. I hope he thinks the same.

LO : Who would you give a gift to this Mother&#39;s Day? What piece of the collection would you choose for her / them and why?

HC : &laquo;I would choose the Rose Petals Link bracelet for my mother because for me it is the most beautiful flower of all; a colorful, fragrant and magical flower that always shows the best of itself.
