Where the Wild Things Are: wear the movie

I totally missed Where the Wild Things Are as a kid. At first I thought this was because I was too old for the children's book until I found that it was first published in 1963. So it must be because it was American.

I know Lizzie didn't miss it, because we still have all the toys and figurines from her childhood peeping over the top of high shelves in the office here, threatening to launch theselves at my head. It was the book that her dad read her to get her to go to sleep, and knowing Lizzie, it must have been good to have kept her quiet.

I've already posted on the the film, directed by Spike Jones, which is due for an October 16 release, and now we have the movie tie-ins.

They don't come much wilder than a clothing collaboration with New York label Opening Ceremony. As well as some fur-trimmed winter wear, you can even get an adaptation of the wolf suit worn by the hero Max in case, presumably, you got a spare $610 kicking around for a fancy dress costume.

Still, dressing up as children's book hero fantasies aside, the blokes' side of the collection has got some half decent gear, such as the Ira military jacket. Don't even think about the white fur hoodie with ears. You will be arrested.

As for the girls' dresses, you're going to need to be a little more than a wild thing to wear one. But you won't get cold.
