Hey Emma fans! Emma is on the cover of British Vogue! So excited! A new photoshoot too! Brilliant! Read the interview and see the photos below! Xxx From Emma’s Instagram stories: Emma, among others, made the cover of British Vogue as one of the "Sustainability Trailblazers".
She unfortunately didn't talk about future projects (only that she wrote a play as part of her creative writing MA), but talked about her break from acting, fashion, Sofia and "inner scorecard". The magazine will be released on December 19. Sofia: "[Adopting her] is the best thing I’ve ever done. I was always judgemental about people who were really obsessed with their pets and then I became one of those people. Really embarrassing." "I just look at her and I’m like, ‘Well, I’m happy and you’re happy.’ The thing that is so amazing about animals is they’re just so good at being. Food, humans, sleep – they’re very good at the basics. I feel like whenever I get really overwhelmed, I’m like, ‘Emma, just do the basics.’" Fast Fashion: "We’re still in a place where 100 billion garments are made every year. The deadstock fabric and the burning of so many clothes that don’t make it to the consumer is obviously a massive, massive problem. [Leather] is just awful for the planet." "Perfection is the enemy of almost everything that’s important. The place where I have influence is, I’m an actress, and I work in the fashion industry, and so my points of contact are Hollywood and fashion. I do what I can to push as hard as I can within those [spaces]." Activism: "I would work with stylists and people would literally laugh at me – they thought this was some silly thing that I’d forget about. I think I lost heart for a little while; I did feel so discouraged, if I’m being honest. I kind of expected that the whole world would be different the next day and what I have come to learn is that change does take time." "I’ve had to relearn the difference between staying informed and just kind of leaking all of my energy and creativity. I try to think about the fact that I need to fill my cup so much that there’s a spillover that I can share. I used to let my cup run all the way out empty and then be like, ‘Oh, I feel terrible, and I feel so overwhelmed, and I can’t do this.’ And I think part of me being 33 now is knowing that to sustain yourself you’ve really got to get ahead of your breaking points." Activism is about connection, community and joy. Because what is joyful is sustainable – what you love to do is something you can do for a long time. And that’s what we need." Acting break: "Because I’m in a career that moves very quickly, the decision to take time to do these things felt like a very big decision. [Choosing] to go back and write and study and get behind the camera was terrifying for me because I’d never done it before. I had always been in front of the camera; I’d always been an actor." "I’m just so glad that I did [step away from acting] because I have this feeling of having my own voice and creative space and sovereignty in some way that I don’t think I did before – more autonomy. I’m so glad that I allowed things to be messy for a minute and to really allow myself to not know [what’s next], because the knowing that I’ve come to, I wouldn’t trade that for anything." "Inner scorecard": "I get a front row seat [with] some of the most successful, beautiful, incredible people in the world. And when you have that seat it becomes very, very clear that there is just absolutely no level of success that will make you in any way happy or content if you do not like who you are or enjoy what you’re doing when no one’s watching."
