What a life! Grow up to become one of the world's leading supermodels before turning your talents over to photography, then go into business by setting up your own store in New York with your best friend of 15 years. Now, Helena Christensen and said friend - Leif Sigersen, are bringing their new clothing collection online in an exclusive deal with Net-a-porter. The BFF's (Best Friends Forever) have collaborated on a small yet wearable range influenced by their Danish upbringing.

"My own style is very much about comfort," Christensen told The Times. "Leif and I have to budget for everything, down to the last button. It has been an intense learning process. If we had known how hard it was going to be, we probably would never have done it.” Sigersen and Christensen launched Butnik, their New York boutique in June 2006. You may register your interest in the collection on Net-a-Porter now while you wait eagerly for it to arrive.
