People Tree and Emma Watson in Bangladesh

People Tree takes Emma Watson to Bangladesh to visit the slum homes of garment factory workers. Emma also visits Fair Trade producer group Swallows to see how People Tree clothing is made. The end result is the new autumn winter collection which is endorsed by Emma Watson.

Emma Watson said: 'Although I wasn't centrally involved in the design of this collection, I had great fun in helping People Tree select some gorgeous Fair Trade textiles -- a dogtooth hand-woven check, cable knits, and the first Fair Trade hand-woven brushed checked fabric which has been made into easy tulip skirts, dresses and shirts. There are even a few party dresses, such as the little black satin tulip dress which can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion'

'Following my summer collection for People Tree I wanted to visit Bangladesh to see the difference Fair Trade makes. The contrast between the slums in Dhaka (the capital of Bangladesh) where the people who work in the garment factories live and Swallows (the Fair Trade community supported by People Tree) was all too apparent. I still find it hard to convey what Fair Trade means to those producing our fashion -- it's just so impressive to see how the women have used Fair Trade clothing to escape poverty and empower themselves and their children. I was moved and inspired.'

I love you Emma, but I think is a little rude to show poor people and models which wear expensive clothes in the same video. I suppose that´s not her fault because she didn't make the video but well... is only my opinion. Despite that, I listened her in other video and she's really smart. People needs more job, not only charity. (sorry for my English)

@faiyadtwilighthp yes it isnt none of youre business but no I dont thiink i'm crossing limits.

[faiyadtwilighthp]

WOW! Excellent, Emma. You're great. I've always allured you. You spent precious moments of ur life by visiting BD, that's incredible. I don' think anyone else would have cared a straw. I mean, you only visited the dirty slums, and met the poor people. There are other places in BD you would have loved!

Emma's inner thinking: "by comparison, these people make me look even prettier and I make them look even uglier"

[GODismyPENIS]

Emma's inner thinking. "how much longer do I need to pretend I like being here? Fuck! not a looker in sight; good thing I brought this pocket mirror to remind myself what beauty is.
