Emma Watson for Burberry written by Jack Collins, February 09, 2010
Emma Watson may say that she is "aware of the humanitarian and environmental issues surrounding fashion," but does this include her opinion on the ethical trading of the fashion label that she has been modelling for recently?! Burberry continue to use fur in their collections, and this video on the PETA website shows the shocking living conditions of animals on fur farms http://www.peta.org.uk/feature...-goes-bad/

Already a fashion darling with the likes of Karl Lagerfeld and Burberry, young actress Emma Watson, who made her mark in the famous Harry Potter films, is now showing us her own brand of magic. It turns out this fashionista has a knack for design and a compassionate spirit, she picked British fair trade fashion label 
This
exceptional collection is a charity line: acting as a creative advisor,
Emma helped the team at People Tree create a vibrant collection of
knitwear for women and men, consisting of cotton T-shirts, jersey
dresses, poplin skirts and shorts. And what’s more, Emma shows off her
designs in a 36-page color catalogue for the label. “I wanted to help
People Tree produce a younger range because I was excited by the idea
of using fashion as a tool to help alleviate poverty,” she says in a
statement. “I think young people like me are becoming increasingly
aware of the humanitarian and environmental issues surrounding fast
fashion.” As such, 80% of Watson’s new line is made of 100% fair
trade-certified cotton. Love what you see? People Tree will begin
shipping to the U.S.A this week.
