SWEDISH FASHION MODELS HELEN SWEDIN

Dear readers of sport&beauty. Today we are traveling to Sweden to start a new series about Swedish fashion models. Why to Sweden? Because I think that, alongside Brazilian and Czech ones, Swedish models are the most beautiful women on Earth. To start with, I have chosen one of my favorite models, Helen Swedin. In the last years Helen has been better known for her marriage with Portuguese soccer star Luis Figo than for her work on the catlwak. We must recognize that Helen looks like a blonde angel. She’s pretty and has a wonderful figure. I wonder whether the Swedish model would have married Luis Figo had he worked as a truck driver instead of being a well-off football superstar. You know that wonderful models are crazy about football stars. Ask Adriana Skleranikova or Linda Evangelista.... Here you are beautiful Swedish model Helen Swedin, Luis Figo’s wife.

Helen Swedin was born on October 22, 1976 in Solleftea, Sweden. She wanted to become a physiotherapist but her angel face and stunning measurements (90-58-87) forced Helen to change her plans and start to work as a model at an early age. At just 16, Helen already walked the runway in Sweden but it seems that she didn’t like cold climate and five years later the Swedish model started to travel around the world working for international fashion brands. Helen arrived in Barcelona to do an assignment for Elite and decided to stay lured by the sun and the Mediterranean. I suppose that besides the sun and the Mediterranean, Luis Figo also had something to do with it. Helen Swedin and Luis Figo met at a flamenco bar in Barcelona during a show of the famous dancer Joaquin Cortes in 1996. Helen was 21 and the then Barcelona player Luis Figo 23. Look at Luis Figo. Not even in his best dreams could Figo have imagined that he would conquer such a beautiful woman. Here you are the measurements and data of this stunning Swedish beauty called Helen Swedin:

The Swedish model and Luis Figo have three daughters: Daniela (born in 1999), Martina (born in 2002), and Stella (born in 2004). Although the Swedish model gave birth to Daniela in 1999, she and Luis Figo didn’t get married until 2001. They got married after five years of dating in a fairytale wedding held in the Portuguese Algarve in front of 200 guests. Helen Swedin is a role model for the perfect wife, mother and hard-working woman. Besides she also claims she is a good housewife. She loves cooking and turned her love for cooking into a catering business opening a Japanese restaurant, the Kin Sushi Bar, in an area of Barcelona called the Eixample. Later she sold her part in the business before moving to Madrid. After playing for Barcelona and Real Madrid, Luis Figo moved to Inter Milan, where he retired last year, although they bought a house in Madrid and Helen often says that she misses the light of Spain. For sure that Spaniards also miss this stunning Swedish beauty.

Helen Swedin has starred in ad campaigns for numerous fashion brands such as Ana Sousa, Arena, Don Algodón, Friday's Project, Giorgio Armani, Guess?, Isdin, Kia, Land Rover, L'Oréal, Luciano Padovan, Nike, Vista Alegre, Nokia, Chamila Jewellery and Schwarzkopf and has been spokesperson for H&M and a Braun’s lady shaver. She’s also graced the covers of fashion magazines like Elle, Telva, Marie Claire, and Woman. Out of curiosity we can say that some years ago, being still very young, Helen Swedin posed half naked for a controversial ad campaign whose pictures can still be found on the Internet.

We’ll finish today’s post with a slideshow displaying the best Helen Swedin’s pictures and some videos of this stunning Swedish beauty. Best regards.
