Harry Potter star Emma Watson, 19, has been chosen as the new face of Burberry. The British actress caught the eye of Burberry’s creative director, Christopher Bailey, who said: “Having known and admired the lovely Emma Watson for some time, she was the obvious choice for this campaign. Emma has a classic beauty, a great character and a modern edge. Her charm and intellect and brilliant sense of fun made the whole shoot feel like a picnic on the Thames.” Watson will be modelling signature items, including the classic trenchcoat adorned by the iconic Burberry check from the brand’s upcoming autumn/winter 2009/10 collection.
