Rooney Mara has also joined the beauty campaign ranks as the model for Calvin Klein’s upcoming summer fragrance Downtown. This is Mara’s first major campaign, but she should be pretty comfortable since the TV ads are directed by David Fincher, who she also worked with on Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. [Telegraph]
· And because apparently every brand has a new face today, Cate Blanchett has been named the new face of Giorgio Armani Parfums. Blanchett, who has been wearing Armani on the red carpet for years, will front the brand’s new “Si” eau de parfum set to hit shelves this summer. [WWD]

The five-color line will include a range of red and pinks hues, including Magazine Cover Mouse ( a strawberry with a “liquid sand” finish) and Minnie Style (a clear top coat with chunked pink and red glitter).

Shoppers will be able to mix their own lip colors, add their own scents like superfruit or lavender and watch as their color creation comes to life in a five-minute heating and cooling process. Here’s hoping a customization station opens up on their e-comm site. [Racked NY]

Maddy Maxey is a regular 20-year-old who’s too tired to be doing a 9 a.m. phone interview, until she starts talking about pattern-making software. A self-taught fashion designer, Maxey began interning at Tommy Hilfiger at just 16, and later did stints at Peter Som and Nylon magazine. After her sophomore year
