Helen Svedin was born on October 22, 1976 in Sweden. Since her yearly years she was attending acting and dancing classes and dreamed being a famous actress. Even though it seemed unlikely for a girl from the regular middle class family to become a supermodel, nevertheless, she made it happen. She was born in the little province town Solleftea, but even there her beauty could be noticed: her blond hair and blue eyes were the greatest addition to her slim body and her perfect, as for modeling, height, which is 5 feet and 9 inches. Helen was noticed by the Wiener Models and East West Models agencies and had signed contracts with them. It was a breakthrough for her modeling carrier. Later on, she was represented by the New York-based Elite Model Management.
In her modeling carrier she is mostly remembered as the face of the H&M Company. However, throughout her modeling carrier, she has appeared in the advertisements of Ana Sousa, Arena, Don Algodon, Friday’s project, Giorgio Armani, Kia Motors, Land Rover, L’Oreal, Luciano Padovan, Nike, Vista Alegre, Schwarzkopf, Guess, Isdin and in many others. She has also been on the cover of the GQ, Elle, Telva, Marie Claire and Woman magazines. On the peak of her modeling carrier she has met a man, who has changed her world completely. This man is a love of her life, her husband and father of their three daughters. He is a former football player Luis Figo.
Helen and Luis met in 1996 at a Joaquin Cortes show in Barcelona. Unlikely to most other couples, who are always in the spotlight, they have always remained faithful to each other. Their relationship was strong from the very beginning: they barely argued about anything. Soon enough a couple expected a baby. The little girl was born in 1999 and named Daniela. In 2002 their second daughter Martina was born. Their third daughter Stella was born in 2004. Surprisingly, despite the fact that a couple had three children, Luis wasn’t in hurry to put a ring over the finger of a mother of his children. Finally, in 2006 he proposed to Helen and their wedding photos were published in the Italian CQ Magazine, in the June 2006 edition. One of the possible reasons can be his periodic movement from one football club to another. At first Luis was a member of Barcelona, and then he moved to Real Madrid. When his contract expired, he decided to listen to Helena and moved to Italy. There he became a part of the Italian football club Internazionale in 2005.
Now family resides in Milan, Italy. Helen is a happy as a house wife and her husband Luis works as the ambassador of the Inter club, after leaving his football carrier.
