London,
(ANI):
Harry
Potter
star
Emma
Watson
has
revealed
that
she
spent
her
gap
year
designing
a
'complete
teenage
summer
wardrobe'
for
the
fair
trade
fashion
brand
People
Tree.
Watson,
19,
who
has
just
enrolled
at
Brown
University
in
the
US,
acted
as
a
creative
advisor
for
the
ethical
fashion
collection,
which
will
reach
shops
in
February.
"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
and
knew
it
was
something
I
could
help
make
a
difference
with," Sky
News
quoted
her
as
saying.
"I
think
young
people
like
me
are
becoming
increasingly
aware
of
the
humanitarian
and
environmental
issues
surrounding
fast
fashion
and
want
to
make
good
choices
but
there
aren't
many
options
out
there.
It
has
been
the
most
incredible
gap
year
project," she
added.
Among
items
that
the
teen
actress
has
had
a
hand
in
designing
were
knitwear,
cotton
t-shirts,
jersey
dresses,
and
poplin
shorts.
Her
range
also
includes
some
more
bizarre
items,
including
bohemian
hand
embroidered
bed
throws,
recycled
sweetie
wrapper
jewellery,
banana
fibre
slouchy
beanies
and
head
scarves.
They
will
be
sold
by
People
Tree,
a
company
which
aims
at
supporting
developing
countries
and
promoting
environmental
projects.
