Emily Ratajkowski talks self-doubt, career highs and dealing with haters | How I Got Here |BAZAAR UK

In our first episode of 'How I Got Here' model, actor, entrepreneur and writer Emily Ratajkowski reveals the job that has impacted her life the most, the advice she would give to young models and the biggest lessons she's learnt in her career.
Ratajkowski has had a wide-reaching and varied working life, from her early modelling days to her current success as the New York Times bestselling writer of the essay collection My Body. In the first of our new series, How I Got Here, she sits down with us at Chiltern Firehouse, to look back on her career-to-date, from her milestone projects and how she has faced setbacks along the way to what she sees for the future.
"My first job was modelling," she says. "I remember doing Teen magazine and it was all very glamorous to me. The make-up artist over-plucked my eyebrows though..." While editorial modelling was Ratajkowski's initial career move, she first came to global attention thanks to her appearance in the Blurred Lines music video in 2013; a video that attracted its fair share of controversy.
"For a young girl going into modelling today, I would tell her that the agencies, as much as they seem like they're protecting you, they're not," she explains. "You have to learn to have your own limits and boundaries and to take care of yourself. I think the industry really needs to change, but that's one way that a young woman could protect herself."
