Helena Christensen’s Glorious Self-Isolation Hideout Is Where We’d All Rather Be

As we continue to stay indoors throughout the coronavirus outbreak, one thing’s for sure: Helena Christensen’s mountain hideout looks like the ideal place to be. The supermodel, who has been self-isolating with her friend Camilla Staerk and her son, Mingus, in the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York since 12 March, has created an idyllic retreat.

In recent days, the super has been sharing glimpses of her new settings surrounded by meandering rivers and optic-white snow. She’s even had time for an impromptu photoshoot. Taking to Instagram, she posted pictures of herself dangling off tree branches while dipping her toes in the crystal-clear water. Wearing a black halterneck Staerk & Christensen swimsuit, she wrote: “Nature bonding”. She’s even been swimming in the chilly waters, too.

Her celebrity friends have, just like us, been longing to join her. Fellow super Christy Turlington called her a “winter baby”, and actor Julianne Moore asked her, “Are you nuts? How do you do it?” while commenting on the photos of her jumping into the icy water. Long walks and spending some time in nature is indeed the ideal thing to do right now.
