Girl On Top

With a leading role in fall’s hottest adventure flick, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, there’s no stopping KATHERINE WATERSTON

Katherine Waterston, fresh-faced in baggy jeans, bounds across a quiet, tree-lined street in Brooklyn. She has just finished a hectic week of photo shoots and makes it known she’s dressed to chill. “Levi’s from high school,” she says. “I’m overly sentimental and don’t throw things away.” Today she has paired them with a cozy gray Jac + Jack sweater that she got working in Australia “because I didn’t pack well.” Underneath, she wears a burgundy T-shirt with “Houdini” printed across it, part of a Ron Herman Japan capsule collection. “I keep gravitating toward this shirt lately, and I think it’s because I’ve been so busy that I’m desiring some kind of escape.”
