Emma Watson's fashion range was inspired by her summer wardrobe. The 'Harry Potter' actress helped create clothes for ethical label People Tree and says she wanted to design something based on outfits she would wear.

She said:'I went through my summer wardrobe and thought, 'If I filtered this so that it was just the very basics, what would I want to keep?'

The answer was cotton vests, easy T-shirt dresses, nice scarves to accessorise with and some lovely linen pieces. For the boys' range I've done hoodies, which I know they'll love.

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, which stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, will be released as two films, with the first due out later this year. The last installment of the series, Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince, had 25 minutes of 3D footage viewable at Imax cinema at the beginning.

Chanel's spring 2010 couture collection starred spangled silver accessories, futuristic mirror embellishments and plenty of red carpet gowns.

Uncle Karl has in fact done it again, and given the strength of the collection shown in Paris, you would have to expect a pastel surge on red carpets as soon as these frocks get back to atelier.

Parts of the collection look designed for specific VIP clients, and in this economic client, you'd be nuts not to. Kylie would look smashing in the crystal-embellished grey jacket any day of the week.

Gaga can no doubt do something with the mirroed pink silk dress - altered, of course, to match her extreme wardrobe requirements. Emma Watson is the ideal candidate for the gold shift - unforgiving on those with any sign of a hip.

Interestingly for Chanel, there was not a single sailor stripe or gold button. The label's stock in trade was shelved for another day, while silvers and shimmer took over.

Emma Watson's modelled it and now Victoria Beckham has shown how we should be wearing Burberry's SS2010 trench coat.

The ex Spice Girl, turned designer was spotted wearing the classic beige coat on two separate occasions over the weekend.

Once whilst shopping with her gorgeous other half and secondly as she was leaving the D&G headquarters.

We think a trench coat is perfect for those transitional spring evenings, providing a fashionable warmth without being too bulky, and it was one of the key items on the runways at last year's fashion week.

However, we think sticking to leggings and boots may be more of an option than Victoria's bare legs and skyscraper heels.

Emma Watson may be poised to steal Kiera Knightley's crown as the most in-demand Brit actress-model. Having been chosen for a second season. As the face of Burberry, Harry Potter star, Watson could rake in the profits from other luxury brands, experts predict.

Watson's first campaign for Burberry sent sales shooting up by 12% in the final three months of last year. Karl McKeever, brand director of Visual Consultancy commented, 'I expect her to be extremely in demand. She could be the next Kiera Knightley, who landed one of the Chanel contracts.' who would you love to see Emma modelling for?
