British actress and Harry Potter star Emma Watson says she loves fashion and the planet. Last year she collaborated with People Tree, a clothing company that creates fair trade and organic clothing and accessories. The collection she endorsed caught the eye of Italian designer Alberta Ferretti. Watson agreed to work with Ferretti if the designer was prepared to make the clothing line fair-trade organic. Elle.com reports the name of the collection has not yet been released but the clothing line is expected to make its debut after Christmas. Fair trade is an approach that helps producers in developing countries obtain better working conditions and promote sustainability. It empowers farmers and other workers to lift themselves out of poverty and protect the environment. Fair trade certification guarantees consumers that strict social and environmental criteria were made in the production and trade of a product. Organic clothing is made from environmentally sustainable material or organic cotton which is made without the use of pesticides and fertilizers.
