Women’s Wear Daily spoke with Emma while she chatted with guests and ate mini slices at the LONDON show ROOMS closing party last week. Thanks KS987 for the tip.
WWD: What do you think defines British style?
Emma Watson: It’s so funny because now that I’m in America, I’m more able to define it. Before I didn’t have an awareness of another style. I think [British style] has to do with the weather. We have terrible weather. It’s very gray and drizzly so we need things to cheer us up. And I think that leads to a lot of creativity and color, and I think that’s why our designers are so innovative. Because at home we’re kind of up against the elements in a sense. And we need cheering up. I think we do very well with kind of an eclectic mix. We have great vintage and we love to mix and match: high street and high fashion, vintage…and I think that really defines it as well.
WWD: Now that you’re in Providence, what do you miss most about England and London?
E.W.: Marks & Spencer, the supermarket.
WWD: Really? What do you miss from there?
E.W.: The food, the food! Marks & Spencer’s food. I miss English chocolate. And I miss silly things like the adverts on TV.
Reminder: Don’t forget about our 20th Birthday Project.
Fake Twitters: No, I’m not talking about fake Emma twitters at the moment. It seems we have been faked too. Our real twitter account is here. You can also find the link under “Contact Us”. If someone claims to be us, but we don’t link to it from our site, it’s fake.
The same thing can be said for Emma of course. If you find a twitter, facebook, youtube, whatever that claims to be Emma, look for a link to it on Emma’s official site. If you don’t find a link, it’s a fake. Last time I checked, there are no links.
