American Beauty star Mena Suvari is the latest face of Project Runway winner Christian Siriano’s spring/summer 2012 ad campaign, shot in New York’s Soho Grand Hotel.

The actress stars in a print and video ad campaign, lounging around in billowing ball gowns and waltzing around the hotel in fitted day dresses. Mena seems like an unusual choice for a fashion campaign, but as a regular New York Fashion Week attendee she’s clearly learnt a thing or two from the models.
