        <content:encoded><![CDATA[
						<p>As those who follow Helena Christensen on Instagram already know, the supermodel is all about a bodysuit — whether it&#8217;s a <strong>vintage Christian Lacroix creation</strong> she once wore on the catwalk or a <strong>sheer lace number</strong> for playing dress-up in these quarantine times.</p>
<p>So it&#8217;s no surprise the fashion legend included a strapless version of the closet staple in <strong>her new holiday collaboration</strong> with designer (and fellow Dane) Anine Bing, which was inspired by her own &#8217;90s style.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just love the way it shapes the female body,&#8221; Christensen told Page Six Style of the bodysuit. &#8220;Women have beautiful shoulders and I think it’s wonderful to show them. They go well with so many different pieces of clothing: a pair of jeans and a pair of kitten heels, a full skirt and a pair of sneakers, under an oversized shirt with flat leather sandals.&#8221;</p>
<p>The <strong>&#8220;Faye&#8221; bodysuit</strong> ($179) also goes perfectly with the other pieces on offer in the Anine Bing x Helena Christensen collection, including the white double-breasted <strong>&#8220;Claudia&#8221; blazer</strong> ($349) and <strong>&#8220;James&#8221; trouser</strong> ($299) or the high-rise, straight-leg <strong>&#8220;Kat&#8221; jean</strong> ($229).</p>
<figure id="attachment_5430943"  class="wp-caption alignright"><strong><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/11/20/helena-christensen-talks-beauty-and-bodysuits-0.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Anine Bing and Helena Christensen in Anine Bing x Helena Christensen.</span><span class="credit">Anine Bing</span></figcaption></figure>
<p>For those seeking something a bit less binding for their socially distanced holiday activities, there are also options that blur the line between formalwear and sleepwear, like the black silk <strong>&#8220;Rosalie&#8221; jumpsuit</strong> ($499) and the slinky white <strong>&#8220;June&#8221; top</strong> ($279) and <strong>&#8220;Carla&#8221; pant</strong> ($249).</p>
<p>&#8220;I think that might be result of us both being Danish, where coziness and comfort are key words in regard to how we dress,&#8221; Christensen explained.</p>
<p>&#8220;Personally, I love pajamas and robes, clothes with relaxed shapes and fits. I think most people climb into soft, loose apparel whenever they step through their front door — even more so in the times we currently live in. If you can wear elegant pieces that gives you that same vibe, then that’s a winning combination.&#8221;</p>
<p>For Bing — whose lacy bralettes, leather moto jackets and buckled booties are a hit with beauties like Bella Hadid, Alessandra Ambrosio and Kaia Gerber — the collaboration fit right in with her signature aesthetic. (She named the bodysuit as her personal favorite piece, too.)</p>
<p>&#8220;Helena and I met in our West Village store in New York last year,&#8221; the designer told us. &#8220;She had been shopping there for a few years, and once I heard she was a fan of the brand, we finally had a chance to meet. Helena has perfected the model-off-duty look, which is always the inspiration behind my styling. The Anine Bing woman is timeless and effortless, which are two words that I would use to describe Helena.&#8221;</p>
<figure id="attachment_5430964"  class="wp-caption alignnone aligncenter"><strong><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/11/20/helena-christensen-talks-beauty-and-bodysuits-1.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Helena Christensen in looks from the Anine Bing x Helena Christensen collection.</span><span class="credit">Anine Bing</span></figcaption></figure>
<p>&#8220;Timeless&#8221; is certainly an apt descriptor for Christensen&#8217;s glowing skin, which she humbly attributes to her diligent daily beauty routine.</p>
<p class="p1">&#8220;I swear by a lot of products &#8230; mostly serums and oils,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I try to drink a lot of water, but that isn’t always easy, so I hydrate with a few spritzes of skin tonics and drops of face oils throughout the day. I adore masks for when I’m home working or cleaning.&#8221;</p>
<p>Christensen names <strong>Nimue Skin Technology&#8217;s Age Intelligent line</strong> and <strong>Surreal Skincare</strong> as two of her go-tos, along with <strong>Angela Caglia&#8217;s Soufflé Moisturizer</strong> ($70) and <strong>Goddess Rose Quartz Roller</strong> ($75) and <strong>Penny Frances Apothecary&#8217;s Love Rosa Facial Balm</strong> ($80) and <strong>Paradiso Body &amp; Hair Elixir</strong> ($120).</p>
<p>She also swears by the &#8220;fantastic&#8221; <strong>Lumity 4-in-1 Cleanse</strong> ($72) as well as products from her esthetician, celebrity favorite Joanna Vargas; Christensen counts the <strong>Vitamin C Face Wash</strong> ($40) and &#8220;delicious&#8221; <strong>Daily Serum</strong> ($85) among her essentials.</p>
<p>Treatments and products from <strong>Onda Beauty</strong> and laser and microdermabrasion appointments with <strong>Dr. Anetta Reszko</strong> a few times per year round out her routine.</p>

<p>The word &#8220;timeless&#8221; could also describe Christensen&#8217;s personal style, which she says has stayed &#8220;more or less the same&#8221; since she got her start in the fashion industry.</p>
<p class="p1">&#8220;I am still a huge lover of secondhand and vintage and that’s what I mostly wear,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;I like finding interesting, quirky pieces that come with a story. I mostly wear men’s pants and a lot of sweatpants and sneakers, but I also love very poetic pieces; anything that was made by hand and is very colorful is right up my alley.&#8221;</p>
<p>Among her most prized vintage pieces are her traditional Peruvian polleras, full skirts adorned with intricate embroidery. &#8220;The craftsmanship is exquisite, and you feel like you’re wearing a precious piece of art,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Of course, there are a few runway treasures tucked into her closet, too: &#8220;I have a few designer dresses from the beginning of my career that I hold very dear to my heart, from Galliano, Versace and Valentino.&#8221;</p>
