Kate Mara turns stylist for H&M at NYFW

Kate Mara, known for her role on Netflix show „House of Cards,“ is teaming up with the Swedish brand to celebrate the launch of the H&M Studio Fall 2014 collection. The 31-year-old actress will work with her friend stylist Johnny Wujek on curated windows in nine New York City stores, which will be revealed to the public during New York Fashion Week.

„It was a no brainer for us to work together on this as we both have a true appreciation for accessible high fashion and our favorite city of New York,“ said Mara. 

Mara and Wujek’s work will be unveiled September 4 at the H&M Fifth Avenue flagship. The pair were captured on camera this week planning the project, with mood boards littered with runway shots and inspired by black-and-white shots of the city showing glowing bridges and buildings. 

„H&M is a pioneer in the field of fashion and being asked to Creative Direct their store windows for the opening of New York Fashion Week was my Mannequin dream come true — one of my favorite movies growing up,“ said Wujek, referencing the cult 1987 Kim Cattrall vehicle.

The H&M Studio collection is a selection of the brand’s key fashion looks and was shown earlier this year on the runway at Paris Fashion Week.
