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}

Fashion’s Night Out: The Madness That is About to Ensue

We cannot believe Fashion’s Night Out is really here. Something like a thousand shopping events are actually happening. Tonight. And they all sound amazing and, in New York, whether they’re uptown or downtown, you probably want to go to all of them. While that is simply unrealistic, we are getting some help from Volkswagon, who are providing us with a fancy new 2011 Jetta to transport us and our shopping bags around what in a few short hours will be a total shitshow of a city.

Jealous? Don’t be – From now until 12:00 a.m., shoppers can visit two Volkswagen Style Express locations for a ride uptown or downtown in the all-new 2011 Jetta: 50th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues; and Greene Street between Spring and Prince Streets. If these end up running smoothly and often, it’s probably your best bet if you want to play ping pong at Barneys before getting a manicure at the Soho Chanel store.
