Early life

Career

That haircut was done by Guido Palau and proved to be a successful change for her career as she subsequently walked in 24 shows in her first season, including Prabal Gurung, Givenchy, Burberry, Missoni, and Dolce & Gabbana.[2][3]
Hellam has been on the cover of the Evening Standard's magazine,[4] Vogue Turkey (alongside models Charlee Fraser and Julia Hafstrom),[5] and Wonderland. She has appeared in advertisements for Salvatore Ferragamo,[6] Chanel, Polo Ralph Lauren, Nike, Inc., and Stella McCartney.
