Emma Watson has an impressive fashion pedigree already at the age of 20.

She has modeled for Burberry, just finished shooting a campaign for Lancome, has collaborated with People Tree on a socially conscious line of clothing and now works with Alberta Ferretti, the famed Italian designer.

Pure Threads, the capsule collection Watson and Ferretti have partnered on, is now available exclusively on the website AlbertaFerretti.com and the eco-friendly line is inspired by style icon Jane Birkin.

The Harry Potter star said she was active in the creative process and did not just lend her name to line.

“I was very much involved in the design process and I really liked the organic raw materials that Alberta sourced. In particular the lace that I’ve used in all the pieces,” Watson said.

Ferretti told reporters she was impressed with Emma’s dedication.

“She is intelligent, with a strong personality, a young, modern girl of today but aware of social issues at the same time and very rigorous.”

The collection only consists of 5 pieces and is considerably more pricey than her People Tree clothing line.

Watson, who has taken time off from her studies at Brown University, will begin the rigorous press schedule for the final Potter film in the franchise: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2.

She is also set to start work on The Perks of Being a Wallflower with Logan Lerman and is rumored to be one of the actresses considered for the lead role opposite Taylor Lautner in Incarceron.

Emma Roberts had an appointment with her agent this afternoon and decided a little retail therapy was in order on the way there. The Scream 4 actress stopped into the Burberry shop in Beverly Hills, CA wearing a very cute orange dress with black and white pansy print.

Twilight star Robert Pattinson has reportedly shunned an offer to model for Burberry, the venerable British fashion brand and house of accessories. The 24 year-old actor felt it would go against his artistic integrity to turn himself into the face of Burberry.

“Christopher (Bailey, designer for the line) and the Burberry team were desperate to sign Robert as the main person in their new campaign.

“It would grace all their stores worldwide and be in all the best ­publications. They went to ­Robert but he ­immediately, politely, turned them down.

“As far as Robert sees things he’s an actor by trade and that’s his art. He doesn’t want to start becoming a brand or anything.”

The deal would have made Pattinson a reported $1.6 million dollars if he signed on the dotted line and he would’ve joined up with his former Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire costar Emma Watson.

Robert is currently in Brazil with Breaking Dawn costar Kristen Stewart filming the honeymoon scene (see photos of the two here.) The two are scheduled to return to Louisiana to continue work on the final two chapters of The Twilight Saga next week.

Brown University undergrad Emma Watson hit the Big Apple on Monday May 17th, to shoot a music video with British band One Night Only. The group is led by singer George Craig, who appeared with Emma in the Burberry ads this past year.

Kristen Stewart had another photo op: this time at the Burberry Prorsum London Fashion Week show.

The actress has had a great week professionally in the UK – the Elle Style Awards (winner of Woman of the Year) and the BAFTA’s (winner of the Orange Rising Star award.) She attended the fashion runway show along with her Twilight costar Jamie Campbell-Bower and his girlfriend, Bonnie Wright – pics here.

Emma Watson’s clothing collaboration with People Tree UK is due next month and this early review of the fashion line is very positive. The ethically and environmentally sensitive wearables not only encompass her principles, they are stylish and comfortable as well.

[...]there are cropped tracksuit pants, little sailor-stripe T-shirt dresses, cricket jumpers and hoodies, polo-tops and plaid shirts for the boys. As Watson herself admits, at present her competition is minimal. “I think young people like me are becoming increasingly aware of the humanitarian issues surrounding fast fashion and want to make good choices but there aren’t many options out there.”

I have been following Emma and People Tree’s collection development for a while now – hoping it was as good as it sounded. Lots of designers try to use sustainable or natural fibers and fabrics for some of their lines and some manage to positively contribute to impoverished workers’ futures, but very few do both. This has great potential to set the benchmark for other designers and firms to get both aspects working together and still make great fashion.

The line will be available on People Tree’s UK website in February. If you believe in it and like it – support it!

Emma Watson has been the face of Burberry for a while and now the company is adding another Watson to it’s roster: her brother Alex. The fashionable siblings smolder and look fabulous for the new Spring Summer 2010 ad campaign for the venerable clothing company. Love Emma!
