Celia Hammond was born in 1943 in Great Britain. The girl spent her childhood in Australia and Indonesia, where her father, who was in the tea business, had plantations. Celia began her modeling career in 1960 at the Lucy Clayton Charm Academy. The girl became the muse of the famous photographer Norman Parkinson, which had a positive impact on her professional growth.

Later, the model caught the eye of Vogue photographer Terence Donovan, which provided her with a long-term job in the popular glossy magazine. At first, Hammond was an ordinary, “fur” model and happily posed in natural fur coats and leather jackets. But over time, the model’s attitude towards natural things changed. She began to refuse to go out in fur and increasingly made statements in interviews in defense of animals.

In 1986, the model founded the Celia Hammond Foundation, which worked to solve the problems of urban homeless animals. One of the organization's goals was to sterilize street cats to control their population.
