The ‘Harry Potter’ actress Emma Watson has teamed up with People Tree for the new collection, which is aimed at people aged 16 to 24.
She said: "I was excited by the idea of using fashion as a tool to alleviate poverty and knew it was something I could help make a difference with.
"I think young people like me are becoming increasingly aware of the humanitarian and environmental issues surrounding fast fashion and want to make good choices but there aren’t many options out there."
Emma – who is the face of Burberry – has taken on the role of creative adviser for the new line, which comprises cotton skirts, T-shirts, jersey garments and jewellery.
She tried to inject some of her own personal style into the pieces, and used her favourite locations, including South France, London and music festivals, as inspiration.
There are 26 women’s pieces and 15 men’s looks in the range, which is largely made from organic and fairly traded cotton.
The collection is handmade by fair trade groups, and helps people make money in Bangladesh, India and Nepal.
The collection will hit stores in February 2010.
Earlier this year, the 19-year-old actress said she would only bring out a fashion line if she could guarantee it would help people.
She said: "If someone asked me to do something that was beneficial to a cause, then maybe I’d consider it, but not just to be able to say ‘Look at me! I’ve got my own line!’ "

Under Emma Watson+ candids+ celebrities+ cleavage+ panties+ upskirt
What was originally some normal pictures of Emma Watson attending a premiere for the new Harry Potter movie became something a lot more exciting with the addition of her underwear. It is slightly disappointing that Emma is actually wearing underwear, but I’ll forgive her for that with the inclusion of some nice cleavage! I can’t really say I pay much attention to Emma Watson, but she’s more than welcome to come by my house and show me her underwear any time. I think they’d look better on my floor anyway!

They’re gearing up for the big premiere of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” and earlier today (July 6) Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint were spotted at a press photocall in London, England.
All three fan favorites looked to be having a marvelous time as they posed for the paparazzi at the Claridges Hotel.
And though he was all smiles, Rupert Grint had plenty to frown about, as he’s been battling the Swine Flu in recent weeks.
Having called in sick to the set of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” last week, Grint’s publicist told press, "It has just been confirmed that Rupert Grint has taken a few days out of filming due to a mild bout of swine flu. He has now recovered and is looking forward to joining his fellow cast members at the junket and premieres this week and will then return to filming directly afterwards."
