Jessica Szohr wore a very tight Leger black dress to Mercedes Benz Fashion Week show of Herve Leger by Max Azria. The Gossip Girl star had the stamped leather and sheer paneled dress paired with chunky black heels and a messy pony tail to the runway show for the Spring 2011 collection.

Szohr has had a busy summer – covering Nylon magazine, press for Piranha 3D and filming the new season of GG. The actress gave Elle magazine a quick rundown of the rest of her summer:

How have you been spending your summer?
I have spent time at home with my family and had some nice, chill hangouts on my roof deck and friends’ roofs! I also tried to get some sun and relax. When summer starts for everyone else, I am back working so I tried to make the best of work and play.

Best memories?
I enjoyed a few concerts like the Strokes, The Black Keys and Lauren Hill and I loved trips with friends and family.

Professional projects you were involved in?
An indie called Hiroken! We filmed it outside of Los Angeles.

Any hobbies?
I’ve been taking Spanish lessons online just for fun with a friend!

What’s been inspiring you?
I just finished Eat, Pray, Love and I really enjoyed Animal Kingdom because the performances were so wonderful. I purchased an interesting piece of art called A Beautiful Look Away by Robert Pollard and I’m excited for Californication to start!

Most looking forward to this fall?
Sweaters, the leaves changing colors, and Thanksgiving. Also, I love nice fires with hot chocolate and tea!

Celebrity driven fashion collections come and go but Emma Watson is trying to make a lasting difference by lending her name to her collaboration line produced by People Tree. The Harry Potter actress is committed to spreading the word about how fashion is made and how we can have a positive impact on people’s lives when choosing our clothing purchases. Emma recently visited Swallows – the Fair-Trade garment community that People Tree works with in Bangladesh and was amazed by what she saw. Watson said:

“I cannot imagine how I would have the mental ability and strength to go into the garment factory slums everyday and have my children living six hundred miles away. We interviewed a woman in the slum in Dhaka. She was very candid about the fact that there just wasn’t any hope for her. There is no hope for anyone living in those conditions and being paid that kind of wage. Coming to Swallows, I see there is an alternative. The living conditions are modest but it’s clean and there is a real sense of community, there families are together and they seem to love and be proud of what they are doing – many things that we in the West take for granted. Swallows is special and I need to believe for my own piece of mind that there will be more places like this in the developing countries in the world.”

The fashion industry has long used terrible working conditions as a means to produce cheap fashion for us in the West. People Tree is working to make a difference and I applaud Watson for choosing so carefully in partnering with People Tree.

Taking part in Prince Charles’ ‘A Garden Party to Make a Difference’ eco-festival, Emma Watson and People Tree UK will produce a fashion show of the upcoming Spring/Summer 2011 line. Held on Buckingham Palace’s Clarence House gardens, the event will showcase how people can live a cleaner, healthier future. Watson, who won’t be able to attend the show will have a video presentation before the stylish preview.

“I’m so thrilled that People Tree will be showing the spring summer collection at A Garden Party to Make a Difference,” she said in a statement. “I think The Prince of Wales’ initiative is such a brilliant idea and I’m thrilled.”

Watson is passionately committed to the cause and recently traveled to Bangladesh to gain first hand knowledge how the clothing is produced and the positive impact it has on the community.

America’s Next Top Model host Tyra Banks is looking for ‘fiercely real’ teens to break the traditional model look. The talk show host is launching a search for plus-sized teens between ages 13 and 19 to put in the spotlight and show the world what they’ve got.

“I’ve always felt it was my mission to expand the narrow perceptions of beauty,” says Banks via a statement to Us magazine.  The top model went on to say that she has always tried to “challenge industry and universal standards” by “celebrating non-traditional beauty” and stressing the importance of inner beauty.

The winner will win a modeling contract, a fashion shoot of their own and a chance to change people’s perceptions of what beautiful is all about.
