Rooney Mara landed the February cover of W as Lisbeth Salander (her latest movie directed by David Fincher, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo scheduled to released later on this year) and photographed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino with a leather Burberry Prorsum biker jacket styled by Trish Sommerville!!
Originally, the executives behind the movie approached Vanity Fair for a possible cover for her but Vanity Fair balked when it was told it would have to work with Jean-Baptiste Mondino (who the studio had already hired to do work for the film). Rumour has it that VF Editor in Chief, Graydon Carter wanted Annie Leibovitz to shoot her.
So, they went to W eventually !!! Mondino worked several times with W‘s current Editor In Chief, Stefano Tonchi when Tonchi‘s still at T.
