Thanks to Snitch Seeker and Emma-Watson.net for the following news!

People Tree have finally released an initial press release for their upcoming autumn/winter 2010 line which was overseen and endorsed by none other than Emma Watson herself! Releasing not only a handful of promotional photos and an interview, People Tree have also released a video featuring Emma in Bangladesh, checking out the working and living conditions of the hardworking People Tree employees, as well as doing a humanitarian bit and distributing food to needy children, helping them in their schools and also, roughing it out in the Bangali workshops and also helping out briefly with the manufacture of her clothes line. Unlike the previous People Tree line, this campaign was not designed by Emma, but it is endorsed by her!

You can check out the video below; plus, we’ve added screen captures into our galleries. A few stills of Emma promoting in Bangladesh have also been added, thanks to People Tree. (Due to uploading errors, only one-third of the screen captures were added. We’re working to fix this up, don’t you worry!)

In the meantime don’t forget to check out the latest range by People Tree which is endorsed by Emma.

As well the video, People Tree have also released some brand new photos of Emma modelling her favourite pieces from this season’s line, plus a brand new message and brief interview with Emma about the line, plus her thoughts on her trip to Bangladesh and how it impacted upon her as a creative consultant, a celebrity and most importantly, as a humanitarian.

Although I wasn’t centrally involved in the design of this collection, I had great fun in helping Safia select some gorgeous Fair Trade textiles – a dogtooth hand woven check, cable knits, soft organic jerseys and the first Fair Trade hand woven brushed checked fabric which has been made into easy tulip skirts, dresses and shirts.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when we arrived in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. I was expecting it to ber very busy, and hot, but the first thing that really struck me was the noise, and the traffic! Our journey from the airpoort was unlike anything I have ever experienced: no one sticks to the lanes; everyone constantly beeps their horns and generally ignores traffic lights! Soon after arriving we visited the slums in Dhaka where the garment factory workers live. Again, I had some preconceived ideas but nothing prepared me for the reality. It was upsetting to see the conditions in which these people live, but I was incredibly moved by their spirit and friendliness in spite of such apparent adversity. Read more?

Once again thanks to Snitch Seeker we’ve gotten wind of some brand new Emma news, this time from her collaboration with the ethical, fair trade company People Tree! As you may recall Emma spent the beginning of this year promoting and releasing her ethical fashion line online and now she’s back with People Tree for her Autumn/Winter campaign. This seems to be connected to Emma’s recent trip to Bangladesh where she met with factory workers, head honchos and the founders of People Tree to discuss other matters – in this case, the new line!

The first promotional image for the new campaign has been released featuring Emma all rugged up in a cutesy knitted coat and a stripy shirt; This is London released the mini-press release stating that the clothing is to be exhibited and unveiled at Prince Charles’s Garden Party To Make A Difference. Unfortunately due to studying conflicts Emma is unlikely to go, however she has made a recording which will air during the party.

Her autumn-winter designs will be unveiled next week, with Watson giving the first exclusive preview here, right. But visitors to the Prince’s eco-fest will get the chance to see what will be in the shops next spring.

Watson said: “I’m so thrilled that People Tree will be showing the spring-summer collection at the garden party. I think the Prince of Wales’s initiative is such a brilliant idea and I’m thrilled.” Source

Hopefully some new material will be released soon!
