Emma fans! Today is a very special and magical day… Why’s that? Because it’s Emma’s birthday! This absolutely talented and inspiring woman turns 28 years old today and we couldn’t be more happy to wish her a happy birthday! We hope she gets to spend it surrounded by the ones she loves the most. Happy birthday, Emma!

Emma attended last night Vanity Fair’s Oscar Party, wearing a beautiful Ralph Lauren black velvet gown and debuting a (temporary) tattoo in support of the movement Times Up. Photos from the event have been added to our gallery thanks to our friends Lora from eve-hewson.com, and Sara from aliciavikander.net!
Emma is the guest editor (and the cover) of the March issue of Vogue Australia! We had expected not to get any news like this for a loooong time, seeing as there haven’t been any movie announcements lately… what a lovely surprise! The issue features a brand new photoshoot by Peter Lindbergh, and it goes on sale on February 26. We have updated our gallery with the beautiful photos, and you can read an excerpt of the article below.
After a year dominated by an alarming newsfeed, it seems we have hit a turning point in 2018. Silenced voices are becoming amplified and media outlets are shining a spotlight on the people and groups challenging for change. The pages to follow in this issue, Designing the Future, is a part of that change.
The word ‘change’ can be intimidating, riddled with expectation of outcomes and fear of failure. So I want to propose something to you: when steering a boat, a captain can shift the wheel one degree and it drastically changes the course of the boat. I would like to challenge you, after reading this issue, to make a one-degree shift, because a small change can make a huge difference.
Thank you, Vogue Australia, for allowing me this platform to share stories and movements I care about. Thank you, Peter Lindbergh, for your careful eye and such a joyous shoot. Thank you to all the collaborators for sharing your voice and your self. And lastly, thank you to anyone picking up this issue and reading it. You are the biggest piece to the puzzle of our global wellbeing. Join me in a one-degree shift!
BFI, with collaboration with BAFTA, has launched a eight-point plan to prevent sexual harassment and bullying in the entertainment industry. Emma showed her support for the campaign by announcing the partnership and the guidelines, in the video bellow. The eight-point plan specifies that two people – one male, one female – must be allocated to every film and television set to deal with issues and allegations, with a new support line set up for people to call. In future, only projects that sign up to these guidelines will be given funding by the BFI.
