Emma Watson will work as a creative advisor for the line that will launch during February 2010 and is targeted at young people in their late teens and early twenties.

The South of France is the inspiration behind the line of what sounds like sportswear, “…knitwear, cotton T-shirts, jersey dresses, poplin skirts, and shorts.”

The actress asserts that she is not working on the line to satisfy her own ego, but because the line is intended for a larger benefit:

I’m not a designer. If someone asked me to do something that was beneficial to a cause, then maybe I’d consider it, but not just [to be able to say] ‘Look at me! I’ve got my own line!’ [It’s] gotten so ridiculous.”

Emma Watson has been making a name for herself as a young woman with a good sense of style with a real appreciation for fashion. I look forward to seeing what comes of the collaboration of People Tree and Watson.

Is it time for holiday parties yet? I love the slinkyness of this dress from Beau Soleil. The ruching on the waist is perfect if you’ve got a giant holiday meal to eat or if your Mom’s cookies are too good to resist.

The leather wrist cuff is seriously cute. it adds a harder look to this otherwise vixen-esque dress.

This necklace is full of Fair Trade goodness.

The pendants are hand-carved by artisans from sienna and red tagua. Women’s cooperatives from Bali, Ecudor and the US worked together to make this necklace happen, so it’s got a lot of love and hard work in it.

I love the simplicity of the necklace. It’ll be great for a party.

Mandalas have always fascinated me. I think they’re so beautiful and definitely resonate with anyone who mediates or does yoga.

Every single tee is made sweatshop free and with organic cotton. The sizing goes up to 2XL so everyone can wear their peace with Maninez.
