We Rate Emma Watson’s Sustainable Looks

Emma Watson is arguably one of the biggest influencers in sustainable fashion right now. Not only has she designed her own collection for ethical brand, People Tree (Great), she was the guest editor for Vogue Australia’s first ever sustainable issue (with some ratings help from us! ) The actor and activist works with stylists on her film sets to encourage eco-friendly costume design, and makes a statement every time she appears on the red carpet through her support of the #GreenCarpetChallenge.

Last month, we announced Emma as an official supporter of Good On You. Here we share some of our favourite ethical fashion moments from Emma Watson, sporting brands rated either Good or Great by us.

Proving a press tour is the perfect opportunity to promote eco-fashion.

Bonjour Paris! Coat is from @stellamccartney, the world’s first luxury brand that is committed to producing products that do not use leather, skins, feathers or fur. Instead, Stella has spent years developing ways of using materials such as regenerated cashmere, recycled fabrics, organic cotton and forest-friendly fabrics. Jumper is from @filippa_k, a Swedish brand committed to four Rs: reducing, repairing, reusing and recycling. Tee by @boodywear, a brand that produces basics made with certified organic bamboo, produced using computerised 3D knitting, so no fabric is wasted. Its factories are zero-waste and have a closed loop system to stop any water being wasted. Bespoke beret by @maisonmichel made with organic cotton. Shoes are @goodguysdontwearleather. The brand doesn’t use any animal products in its collections. Fashion info verified by @ecoage #ecoloves
