About fast fashion and Fair Trade (2010): "It's important to differentiate between fast fashion which is made very quickly for a very small price and Fair Trade fashion. Which means that if you buy a t-shirt which costs £2-3, you just have to do the math and work out how much the person who made it is being paid? So, Fair Trade fashion is still reasonably priced but allows the person who made it to earn a decent living and to be able to feed and take care of their families. It gives them enough money to live with dignity. I'm not saying that everything I wear will be Fair Trade from now on or that I'm an organic purist, it's just a great option and one I always try to make if available. I just try to ask more questions about where the garment comes from. I want to make good choices. I just think it's good to have Fair Trade fashion in the high street."

Emma to Star in ‘Colonia’

Colonia

Rumors about Emma Watson’s latest project have been swirling around but now it’s official. Emma will star along with Daniel Brühl in Colonia, a political thriller by director Florian Gallenberger.

Inspired by true events, Colonia “tells the story of Lena and Daniel, a young couple who become entangled in the Chilean military coup of 1973. Daniel is abducted by Pinochet’s secret police and Lena tracks him to a sealed off area in the south of the country, called Colonia Dignidad. The Colonia presents itself as a charitable mission run by lay preacher Paul Schäfer but, in fact, is a place nobody ever escaped from. Lena decides to join the cult in order to find Daniel.”

Principal photography has already begun and will continue through the end of the year in Luxembourg, Munich, Berlin and South America. No release date has been announced.

    Bravo for Emma. Didn’t see that coming, at all. Still waiting for Queen of The Tearling, really 🙂

    Anyway..

    Seriously, how can a person get so much hate just because she fights for other people’s rights?
    Be it feminism or whatever, it’s still for the sake of others.
    And she’s getting all the hate in the world.

    What is so wrong with everyone, really?

    I hope she comes back to Chile, specially if they are filming so close to home!! The movie is dealing with a very delicate subject though,it’s been over 20 years since the military coup finished, but it’s not something people treat lightly here. I’m confident that if Emma Watson is in the project, it’ll be a very respectful movie, but still, tricky tricky topic I tell you.

    This was to be expected after Emma’s makeup artist unintentionally revealed Emma’s involvement before it was announced, but of course it’s always great to have official confirmation. :). I’m glad to see that some of Emma’s projects are officially happening instead of being either still questionable or officialky cancelled.
