Alberta Ferretti on Emma Watson: She 'Lives Life To The Full'

Pure Threads by Alberta Ferretti and Emma Watson is up on AlbertaFerretti.com and waiting to have a place in your wardrobe.
Designer Alberta chatted with Style.com about her relationship with the 20-year-old British beauty. Check out what she had to say:
On when she first met Emma: “Emma and I have a long relationship that dates back to when I dressed her for the promotion of her first Harry Potter film. Since then, we have been in touch and I was very struck by her collaboration with People Tree. I think she is very serious, intelligent, and extremely talented. She was an obvious choice for me on this project as we share a deep sensibility for the green cause.”
On describing Emma: “Emma is a fresh, serene, and intelligent young woman who has a very sophisticated style. She is a young woman who lives life to the full: She is dedicated professionally, involved socially, and is intriguing and cool.”
On what they both wanted for the collection: “We both wanted the collection to be easy to wear and accessible to a wide range of the public. The main inspiration that came directly from Emma was the Jane Birkin mood, typical of London in the late 1970’s, which came when she saw [my] Spring ‘11 collection. However, the collection shows the unmistakable feminine and romantic style of Alberta Ferretti. The two came together in the shared concept of feminine style.”

Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows: Shooting the Final Scene

There are officially three months and 21 days let until Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Part II premieres on July 15th.
JustJaredJr.com will be not just a little sad about the final movie, but a lot…but not as much as Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson will be.
In this new clip (from the ABC Family Weekend first look), we can see exactly what scene the trio ended filming with.
Producer David Barron shared, “We’d actually saved it because we obviously thought it would be a very difficult day for Dan, Rupert and Emma particularly…It’s a very simple shot for them, green screen. They took it in turns. The three of them are diving. And we did it two or three times, and suddenly that was it, that was the end of Harry Potter.”
