Axelsson modeled for a number of notable magazines. She appeared in the August and September 1991 editions of the American version of
Vogue, shot by photographers Robert Diadul in August and Angel Morale in September. In the December 1992 edition of
Vogue Italia, she had a 10-page spread styled as
Bianca Jagger, shot by German photographer
Ellen von Unwerth. She appeared in
Vogue Italia in later editions as well, including February 1993, again shot by von Unwerth, and in 1995. She appeared on the July 1993 cover of French magazine
Madame Figaro, the September 1993 cover of the German edition of
Elle magazine, followed by the January/February 1994 edition of
Vogue Patterns magazine. From New York, Axelsson moved to Paris, where she studied art and wrote and illustrated her first book, a picture book for children (
Nigel of Hyde Park, 2004,
Assouline). Axelsson continued in fashion with a short stint working as PA to fashion designer
John Galliano. Her experiences in fashion - along with a love of
Scooby-Doo and
Agatha Christie - inspired her to write the
Model Undercover book series. Axelsson announced the series in a 2014 article for ''The Children's Book Review'', and the book was released that year. Clare O'Beara of
Fresh Fiction stated "her mystery series is a winner as far as I'm concerned." ==Published works==
