Brand new promotion outtakes for the new People Tree Autumn/Winter 2010 Campaign has been released. You can watch them in our gallery, Emma looks lovely. The full collection will be released at at The Prince of Wales’ eco festival, A Garden Party To Make A Difference it will take place on September 12 at 3.30pm and will be held in the historic Friary Court of St James’ Palace.

Emma visited with People Tree Bangladesh. You can watch the video of her visit below. We added some photos of her during her visit. The video also included behind the scenes footage of the Autumn/Winter campaign.

Following my summer collection for People Tree, I wanted to visit Bangladesh with Safia to see the difference Fair Trade makes.

The contrast between the slums in Dhaka (the capital of Bangladesh) where the people who work in the garment factories live and Swallows (the Fair Trade community supported by People Tree) was all too apparent.

You can read a short interview of my thoughts on the trip below, but I still find it hard to convey what Fair Trade means to those producing our fashion – it’s just so impressive to see how the women have used Fair Trade clothing to escape poverty and empower themselves and their children. I was very moved and inspired.

Although I wasn’t centrally involved in the design of this collection, I had great fun in helping Safia select some gorgeous Fair Trade textiles – a dogtooth hand woven check, cable knits, soft organic jerseys and the first Fair Trade hand woven brushed checked fabric which has been made into easy tulip skirts, dresses and shirts.

There are even a few party dresses, such as the little black satin tulip dress which can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion! I have picked out some of my favourite pieces which I have modelled for People Tree.

I want to congratulate People Tree on this new range and really hope people continue to buy these clothes and to support their great work in the promotion of Fair Trade.

Love Emma xx
