(Cover) - EN Star Style - Emma Watson's teacher inspired her to branch into clothing design.

The star shocked many when she began modelling for Burberry, and created an ethical range of pieces with People Tree. Her fans were more used to seeing her as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter, so it took some getting used to.

Emma has explained working with People Tree seemed a natural progression for her as she's been interested in the environment from a young age.

"I had a very inspiring teacher when I was at school. I did a lot of course work on the developing world, Fair Trade and natural disasters," she explained. "It really developed my interest and then I met Safia Minney who's the CEO of People Tree and we had really good chat. I want to make a difference. It's really nice to contribute."

Emma also surprised many when she cropped her signature long locks into a short pixie do. It was something she'd wanted to do for a long time but couldn't until Harry Potter filming had finished

"Oh my God it's great! I just roll out of bed, it's very low maintenance," she told Shout magazine. (C) Cover Media
