I still have fond memories of reading Maurice Sendak’s ever so iconic children’s book, Where the Wild Things Are when I as a child so you can’t blame me to be excited to see Spike Jonze’s movie adaptation of the book. With the crazy hype and popularity of the movie, apparel designer Opening Ceremony just released clothing inspired by the iconic characters such as Max, Ira, and Douglas. Named the “Where the Wild Things Are X” collection, you can find jackets, tops, and full body jumpers.

by staring into their yellow eyes without blinking once”, max was made the king of the wild things. you can achieve his look far more easily with max’s iconic wolf play suit. identical to the one illustrated by maurice sendak and brought to life by spike jonze, our collaborative piece with the director features a super soft faux fur one piece with six brown buttons down the front, a snap off faux raccoon fur tail, attached fingerless gloves, and a hood with attached ears and a snap closure at the neck.

From the looks of the collection, it doesn’t really scream inspiration, but more like screams of death as the clothes gives me a good idea of what types of clothes you can make from the dead carcass of a “Wild Thing”. This would make an EPIC episode of Man Vs. Wild. I don’t know about you, but the girls look adorable in Max’s wolf jumpsuit, but the guys look goofy as hell. I’ll pass.
