Rooney Mara by Glen Luchford for January Dazed & Confused

Posted by Charlie Winters on Monday, February 6, 2012

Alexander Queen is very much known for outside-the-box, avant-garde thinking. Rooney Mara’s cover for the January 2012 issue of Dazed & Confused features just some of that awe-inspiring unconventional perspective. Shot by photographer Glen Luchford, the breakout young actress from the highly anticipated David Fincher film, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo wearing one of the British fashion designer’s 2012 headpiece. Styled by Karen Langley. Look for more to come from the feature in coming days.

Updated now with the entire editorial.

Tearing up Dazed & Confused’s January cover is Rooney Mara, the breakout young actress who toughened up for the lead role of the year in David Fincher’s remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Mara tells Dazed about morphing into cyber punk Lisbeth Salander, the sexually ambiguous bad girl with a talent for computer hacking, chain smoking and fighting. Becoming anti-heroine Salandar wasn’t such a stretch Mara, told Dazed, as she’s “always been drawn to darkness”. Glen Luchford photographed Mara’s cover shoot on Venice Beach, styled by Karen Langley.
