There is no more iconic way to film great hair than in slow motion—each strand slowly floating past the camera in one fluid motion, time nearly standing still. So on a sunny fall day in a pretty New York City loft on Houston Street, when we meet with
Emily Ratajkowski
, the model, actress, activist, swimwear designer, and face of Kérastase hair care, we want to talk about life in the slow lane. We wondered, for someone whose life is constantly on, what does it look like when it’s off? Is it ever off?
This question is particularly pertinent today: A team from Kérastase, Ratajkowski’s makeup artist
Hung Vanngo
, and hairstylist
Jennifer Yepez
(celebrities in their own rights) as well as their assistants, stylists, and her own personal professional team fill the loft. It’s busy. There’s endless healthy food and a fridge with every beverage you’ve ever wanted. A bag of Pat McGrath makeup arrives for Ratajkowski to her excitement (more on her beauty routine below), and she ducks into a corner near the window with Vanngo to snap pictures for Instagram. In other words: It’s not a slow day today. So after shooting the images and videos you see on the page here, we sat down on a pink velvet couch with Ratajkowski to ask if she ever gets to live life in slow motion.
