Celeb Spotlight: Emma Watson & Ethical Fashion

Sustainability never goes out of style! That's why we're still excited to spread the news about Emma Watson's partnership with the fashion company People Tree back in 2010 and 2011.

People Tree is a sustainable and fair trade fashion brand, and beginning in 2010 they teamed up with Emma Watson to create their first ever youth fashion collection.  It was a pretty big deal!  Check out what people were saying about it:

"Emma Watson brings her glam touch to ethical fashion" -Teen Vogue

"These clothes transcend their worthy beginnings and just became cool... this is a great capsule collection" - The Times 

It's always awesome to see people supporting fair trade, especially someone like Emma Watson, who is a role model for many girls.  Sustainability and the importance of fair trade are at the core of five ACCESSORIES's company values, and we love that Emma shares our views.  Here's what Emma stated about the collection:

 

I don’t want to wear something on my body that hurts the environment or the people in it. It’s hard to know what is good and what is bad on the high street and equally hard to find fashionable or youthful ethical clothing. It shocks me that even today only 1% of cotton produced in the world is Fair Trade and organic. I decided to work with People Tree to put together a collection I could be proud of in terms of both ethics and design.

 

Way to go Emma! Congrats on a great collection and thanks for helping to spread the word about ethical fashion.
