Emma Watson lands Burberry campaign

So long Gryffindor scarf, and hello to the Burberry checks.

Harry Potter star, Emma Watson, is the new face of the British brand.

Despite the talk that Chanel had snatched her, this is the first major advertising campaign for the 19-year old, and will supposedly boost her estimated £8million fortune by six figures.

The campaign, which was photographed by Mario Testino, features Watson in clothing from the Burberry fall/winter collection, which was inspired by Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury set.

Burberry’s creative director Christopher Bailey told The Evening Standard that the young star was the "obvious choice" for the campaign.

"Emma 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."

He added, “I wanted the images to represent the rich history and modernity of Burberry while reflecting a quiet beauty, timelessness and strength that is particularly significant today."

2009 Gap Design Editions Campaign Images

As previously reported, Alexander Wang has designed a khaki motorcycle jacket for the Gap, as part of the brand's 2009 Gap Design Editions.

The Gap has previously collaborated with nominees from the CFDA/Vogue fashion fund, where the designers had to put their own spin on the traditional white button down shirt.

This time, however, the designers were offered the opportunity to re-interpret a different Gap classic - the Khaki.

2008 Fashion Fund Winners Albertus Swanepoel and Vena Cava (Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai), along with Wang, designed numerous khaki pieces including jackets, dresses and hats.

The print campaign for the collaboration features models Coco Rocha, Raquel Zimmerman, Anna J, and Arlenis posing with the designers.

The collection will be available in stores and online on June 16th, with items ranging from $39.50-$88.

H&M Fashion Against Aids

For the second year in a row, H&M and Designers Against AIDS (DAA) are teaming up with some big-name celebs for the Fashion Against AIDS campaign.

Artists such as Katy Perry, Roisin Murphy, Pharrell Williams/N.E.R.D., Estelle, Yoko Ono and Dita Von Teese have designed t-shirts, tanks, dresses and bodysuits for the line.

All of the clothing are made of 100% cotton and 25% of the sales price will be donated to HIV/AIDS prevention projects of Designers against AIDS, UNFPA, MTV’s Staying Alive Foundation and YouthAIDS.

“The collection has a 1980s feel with mixtures of white, bright and graffiti-like prints,” says H&M head of design Ann-Sofie Johansson. “The fight against AIDS has always been one of our priorities, and H&M is overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and commitment from each and every celebrity involved in this collection.”

For this year's collection, the artists made sure the message was loud and clear with bold language and vibrant colours. Roisin Murphy’s t-shirt reads “Protection is power," N.E.R.D says to "use your brain," while Estelle says “LIFE IS TOO SHORT – HAVE SEX BE SAFE." Katy Perry’s bodysuit reads, “WHAT’S ON THE OUTSIDE IS WHAT COUNTS,” and Cyndi Lauper tells us that “GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE SAFE SEX."

“I’m happy to be involved with this campaign,” says Estelle. “I’ve seen the effects of what a dollar or pound can do for someone who doesn’t have access to medicines and even how it can help families affected by AIDS. Together we can raise protective awareness and money for a great cause.”

The collection will hit select H&M stores on May 28th.
