Where The Hyper-Chic Things Are

I get that "Where The Wild Things Are" has somehow become the most insanely hip piece of media currently sweeping the globe (off the top of my head: art and costume exhibit installation at Space15Twenty, collab skateboards with Spike Jonze's co. Girl Skateboards, collab sneakers with Lakai, songs by Karen O, and much more at colette's W.T.W.T.A. gallery, including "Wild Things," an adaption of the original story by Dave Eggers, for chrissakes).

So, yes, I get it. But it didn't REALLY hit me until I took a closer look at the Opening Ceremony x Where The Wild Things Are capsule collection. Yes, most of it is ridiculous. Yes, it seems like just a random way to justify coming out with goofy clothes (see Fig. 1: Chloe Sevigny). But LOOK AT THIS TOTALLY BITCHIN' WILD THING DRESS YOU GUYS:


[o.c. didn't give me enough resolution here, but you get the idea. it is awesome.]

I would wear that in a heartbeat. Maybe for Halloween... or to go see the movie premiere on Friday... or maybe just all the time. Especially with those shoes.

Anyone else with me? Shall we all congregate in a bizarre fashion blogger posse standing in line at the Arclight wearing multi-hundred-dollar monster costumes and heels? Clearly a good enough excuse to hit up Opening Ceremony... we'll figure out the Visa bills another time.
