So what happens when a stylish film star meets a time-honoured fashion guru? A chic, summer-perfect capsule collection is born. Introducing Pure Threads, by Emma Watson and Alberta Ferretti... SEE THE COLLECTION HERE

Despite her young years, Emma Watson is carving out a serious name for herself in the fashion industry - she's already got design experience with People Tree and high-profile campaigns with Burberry and Lancome under her belt - so we were expecting great things from her latest industry venture.

And it doesn't disappoint. The 20-year-old has joined forces with Alberta Ferretti to create a limited edition capsule collection, consisting of five beautiful summer separates.

The romantic range - which features two dresses, a blouse, denim shorts and a maxi skirt - is made entirely out of environmentally-friendly materials, and available to buy exclusively from albertaferretti.com.

The pieces were designed to be both wearable and accessible to a wide range of people, while at the same time, tapping that signature Ferrettii style - with prices ranging from €250 to €800.

And to tie in with Emma's previous eco-chic collaboration, part of the proceeds will go towards the People Tree Foundation - the non-profit Fair Trade organisation.

Oh we do love a spot of feel good fashion...
