Emily Ratajkowski and Inez and Vinoodh reunite for Note’s on Beauty debut 2025 issue. “Like most women, my relationship to beauty has been fraught. My experience has been particular, I started modeling as a child at the age of 12. I learned early in my life to think of beauty primarily as a commodifiable asset. It’s been over twenty years of working as a person who sells my image; my beauty. It’s only been in the last few years, after making things, after becoming the artist instead of the muse and after becoming a mother, that I’ve started to think of beauty in a more expansive way. It’s really just the beginning, though.”
