Helvin rose to prominence during the late Seventies, at a time when she was the wife and muse of famed photographer David Bailey - whom she met on the set of a Vogue shoot. Born in Tokyo and raised in Hawaii, Helvin has remained active in the industry in recent years, and last appeared on the Vogue cover in 2007 alongside fellow panellist Yasmin Le Bon.
Born Yasmin Parvaneh, the half-British, half-Iranian model gained her famous surname early in her career when she married Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon, in a union that was the Gigi and Zayn of its time. Major campaigns - including for Calvin Klein, Guess and Ralph Lauren - cemented her as one of the most in-demand models of her day, and a campaign for Giorgio Armani this year proves she remains as sought-after in her fifties.
Still only 25, Campbell has already achieved what most models can only dream - with a raft of international Vogue covers and catwalk appearances for brands from Chanel to Louis Vuitton under her belt. Away from the cameras, Campbell has also achieved much: a champion horse rider, with a first-class degree inHistory of Art, she is nevertheless still in love with fashion - and far from dismissive of the doors that her career as a model has opened for her.
From ageism in the fashion industry to the exploitation and fetishisation of women, none of the trio have been shy about speaking out on the challenges of modelling over the past four decades - and this panel discussion will be no exception. It's not all warnings and criticism though; some surprising and delightful tales are sure to be shared. From one of the three making a mess, quite accidentally, in Karl Lagerfeld's Parisian bathroom, to another cutting her into "Worzel Gummage chic", we are set to gain a glimpse into the sometimes glamorous, often unbelievable world of the international model. A fashion education on a Sunday morning, what more could you ask for?
