An Evening in SoHo: Sofia Coppola Talks Somewhere and Anna Sui’s Book Signing

SoHo was cold and packed with Christmas-crazed tourists Thursday night, but that didn’t keep me from scurrying over to the Apple Store and to Anna Sui’s boutique for two really exciting events celebrating two of fashion’s finest (who also happen to be friends.)

First stop? Apple, to see one of my icons (not just in fashion but in life), Sofia Coppola, speak about her latest film Somewhere, as part of Apple’s Meet The Filmmaker series.

And while Marie Antoinette will forever reign as my favorite of her films (okay, maybe my favorite movie ever?), I have high hopes for Somewhere, which stars one of our favorites, Elle Fanning.

After about an hour of camping out in my chair so that no one else snagged it, Sofia finally walked in wearing a heather gray cashmere sweater scrunched up to her elbows, a pair of fitted blue jeans, and what looked like a pair of Chloe wedges. Her hair was perfectly tousled and the only jewelry she had on was a diamond tennis bracelet and a slim black leather watch.

Sofia spoke about the challenges she faced, the similarities and differences between all of her films, and what inspired her to do Somewhere. “All my previous films had been from a girl’s perspective, so I really wanted to do a film from a man’s point of view.” she said.

Fashion News Roundup: Crystal Does Zac, Karl’s Commercials, & ‘Tis The Season to F*** Off

Karl Lagerfeld, The Actor? Karl Lagerfeld can now add actor to his growing list of occupations. Uncle Karl is set to star in a series of Volkswagen commercials which will premier December 22 in Germany. {Racked}

‘Tis The Season To F**k Off: It seems that a Harrods employee got a little upset after he was fired from his position as the toy departments “Father Christmas.” The employee barricaded himself in the store, located all the corresponding switches of the light display outside, and spelled out “F**K OFF” with the lights. Apparently, he had been drinking –the reason he was fired in the first place. {Tumblr/Dashperiod}

H&M Sales Soar In November: H&M’s sales jumped 8% last month –the same month Lanvin x H&M hit stores. Do we smell more designer collaborations? {Retail Week}

False Lashes Claims? Claire Danes recently hopped on the Latisse bandwagon when she became a spokesperson for the eyelash growth treatment. However, things didn’t go (or grow?) so smoothly. Sources are claiming that Danes suffers from skin hyper-pigmentation, one of the side effect of Latisse. And while Danes did say in an online video diary she saw a little bit of redness under her eyes, both Latisse’s and Danes’ reps are claiming that it’s all untrue. {Page Six}
