Fashion Designers ♥ Emma Watson

[Miss Kurdapya]

Today, Vogue did a feature on designer Saloni Lodha and there was an unexpected mention of Emma.

Aside from Vogue calling Emma the "Princess of covetable clothing" in the article, Saloni had this to say about her:

“I think Emma Watson is a fresh-faced beauty and she wears every piece with her youthful charisma and sophistication. We were delighted that she chose to wear the Saloni Alexia dress to promote her new Harry Potter movie. The dress suited her perfectly!”

This gave me an idea to compile here some other mentions/compliments of Emma by designers or just pictures of Emma with designers. Please share articles or pictures about Emma & designers you've encountered

Christopher Bailey(Burberry)

"I'm very fond of Emma. She's not just a clothes horse - she uses fashion to express her personality."
- InStyle, November 2008 issue

Karl Lagerfeld (Chanel)

“I always expect her to be unexpected” he says. “She is really natural in her way to be. She doesn’t have to think about her style.”
- Elle UK, August 2009 issue


Emma on Karl Lagerfeld:
“Karl’s so nice” Emma complements right back. “When he photographed me, we talked about books and literature, he knows so much it’s intimidating. He has this bookshop in Paris and you have to go through it [to get to the studio], I could spend days in there. He told me that he doesn’t keep his books in any kind of order because that way he finds books he’s forgotten about when he’s looking for something else.”

Christopher Kane

Kane describes meeting her at a fashion event before the pair headed off to party at Bungalow 8.

“We had a lot of fun” he says, “Emma reminds me of stars like Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. She has a touch of “Lotita” charm combined with sophistication beyond her years. She always looks flawless.”

Who would be your dream to dress?
I guess I've already had the dream! I mean it was good to dress Emma because she's the kind of person I'd love my label to be worn by.

Well you know she's only 18, but she's quite classic isn't she? but still she wants to be young and edgy as well.
- Female First

“She definitely has a quality of old Hollywood about her-very elegant and sophisticated but fashion forward at the same time.”
- Elle UK, August 2009 issue

More from Christopher Bailey:



"Having known and admired the lovely Emma Watson for quite some time, she was the obvious choice for this campaign," Burberry creative director Christopher Bailey said. "Emma, like the images she fronts, has a classic beauty, a great character and a modern edge. Her charm, intellect and brilliant sense of fun made the whole shoot feel like a picnic on the Thames."
- Vogue

"Emma is part of the Burberry family, we've worked with her on lots of different things," Burberry creative director Christopher Bailey revealed whilst on location in Westminster with Watson and Testino. "She is one of the great new British icons."
- Vogue

“I love people like Emma Watson, who are always so excited by life,” he says. “Our friendship is an organic thing. We had done a few things together and she regularly wore our clothes to events, so for me she was already a part of the Burberry family. Having her as the face of a campaign felt a natural extension of that. She has a classic beauty and modernity that felt a perfect fit for the brand, and she looks amazing in all of the clothes. But more than that, she’s also charming and intelligent, and we had a lot of fun working together.”
- The Times

Well, he really must be happy with her, even in this time of recession & other vrands are losing money, Burberry's sales were up 21%

Oh, and in The Independent's feature about Burberry's history, Bailey has been quoted to say that
Emma is "the whole spirit and character of Englishness".

He adds: "What I'm interested in is this very relaxed person, sophisticated and very elegant but not too preened and perfect. Burberry is about heritage, but about making that heritage relevant for today. "

Not a designer, but these quotes are from one of the most famous fashion photographers in the world, Mario Testino:

"You're such a grown-up girl now, darling," says Mario Testino to a strikingly glamorous Emma Watson
- Tribune

"Emma Watson, my new model for Burberry, is quite interesting and beautiful."

I'm not sure about whether I can post here without offering pictures, but I've got to say... what a dream, she knows Lagerfeld, Gaultier, Bailey, Testino, Tempest... I'm jealous! Judging by all this, all I can say is that Emma seems a very innocent, charming and stylish person, and wow, I'm jealous of her position, to actually get the clothes you've always dreamed of!
