The amount of work that went into this one look will blow you away.
We’ve been keeping a close eye on Emma Watson’s sustainable and sophisticated Beauty and the Beast press-tour wardrobe through her recently launched Instagram account, the_press_tour, for some weeks now. But yesterday the actress shared credits for an eco-friendly ensemble that knocked the minimalist jumpsuits and bold-color gowns she’s been wearing on the red carpet out of the water—at least in terms of sheer craftsmanship.
A collaboration between costume designer Jacqueline Durran, Eco-Age, and Disney, the sustainable look is from the actual movie—Belle wore it during the musical number “Something There”—and it pretty much took a village to make. That the entire thing was sourced using ethical means and sustainable fabrics just makes the whole costume more impressive. No wonder Durran is an Oscar winner; she is clearly willing and able to take on a challenge.
From up-cycled vintage fabrics to GOTS-certified (global organic textile standard) organic cotton and linen and natural dyes, every single component of the caped look was 100 percent sustainable. If you’re a fashion nerd or environmental activist, you’ll get a thrill out of reading the caption in full. It’s sort of like the ultimate clap-back to designers who say that producing eco-friendly clothes is too difficult or complicated. Because if Watson and her team can make a five-layer period piece eco-friendly, why can’t our T-shirts be a little greener? Kind of makes you think—and that’s the point.
