The 20-year-old British actress, best-known for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies, will be collaborating with the Italian fashion house on an eco-friendly clothing line. Watson told the American tabloid magazine US Weekly that the new line will be “very classic, 60s Jane Birkin.”
Watson caught Ferretti´s attention when she launched a clothing line for Fair Trade brand People Tree in February 2010. The capsule collection, Love from Emma, featured 26 women´s styles and 15 men´s looks. In her role as creative advisor, Watson worked closely with People Tree CEO Safia Minney to design the lifestyle range aimed at young people ages 16 to 24.
“She [Ferretti] wrote to me and said, ´I saw what you did with People Tree and I think it´s a great idea and will you do something with me?´” Watson said. The young starlet, who was the face of UK label Burberry, jumped at the chance to work with the renowned designer. “I will put it out there that I will work for anyone for free if they are prepared to make their clothing fair-trade organic,” she says.
The collection, whose name has not yet been revealed, will make its debut in UK stores shortly after Christmas.
