The campaign was lensed by fashion photographer Mario Testino and directed by Burberry’s creative director Christopher Bailey.
The 19-year-old Harry Potter star looks grown up in the campaign, styled with smoky eye makeup and wind swept hair, modeling signature items and accessories like a trench coat and tote.
“Having known and admired the lovely Emma Watson for some time, she was the obvious choice for this campaign,” says Bailey. “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, who has studiously cultivated an image of a style icon, sees fashion as an extension of art, which she studied in school.
"I've been focusing on art a lot, and fashion's a great extension of that," she says.
