Actress Emma Watson wants to be known for her acting skills rather than being labelled as a "fashionista".
The 23-year-old, currently the face of luxury brand Lancôme, has previously been part of fashion brand Burberry's ad campaigns, worked on a clothing collaboration with British fair-trade label, People Tree, and created a collection for Italian fashion designer Alberta Ferretti.

"I took a very conscious step back. I think people were getting confused. They seemed to think that I was a fashionista or that fashion was my main thing, and I didn't want that once I figured out I really did want to act," femalefirst.co.uk quoted the "Harry Potter" star as saying.
