In the Jungle, the Mighty Jungle, With Sacai
Maurice Sendak's children's classic 'Where the Wild Things Are' has long been fashionable among the milk-and-cookies crowd, and on Sunday Chitose Abe took the monster tale to a new audience with a collection where sleeves sprouted fur, boots stretched to Abominable Snowman proportions, and thick swathes of fabric enveloped models.
'We wanted to take our friends to the wild side, and walk there together,' said Abe, referring to her collaborators at Carhartt, Ugg and J.M. Weston. Abe added that while the collection was heavy on thick fabric and hefty layers, looks could easily be dismantled for the milder months in a world that's heating up.

As always the outing was fun, with lots of patchwork, exaggerated proportions and different textures that fit together like puzzle pieces.
Shaggy fur was out in force, as a supersized fluffy scarf worn over an olive corduroy suit; the lining on a brown coat with a '70s feel, and sprouting from the sleeves of a statement trench, and a black wool suit. Some of the knee-high boots so hairy they resembled Cousin It from 'The Addams Family.'
Shearling was everywhere, too, lining stompy, thigh-high boots and hiking shoes, spilling over the front and back of a hooded technical jacket and warming the insides of a chic, chocolate cotton coat with a high collar.
Given the absurdist theme, Abe went wild with proportions, adding big, floppy pockets to workwear pants, giant peplums to sweaters and jackets, and thick, furry hems to skirts.
She stuffed puffer fabric under the backs of tailored cape jackets, and gave knits a 3D spin with chunky flower embroidery in her bid to bring a little fantasy — and heat — to the cold reality of winter.

36 Childhood Books That Every 2000s Kid Grew Up Reading
There was nothing like the comfort a book could give you as a child, whether it came from the words or the pictures. So here, for your nostalgic pleasure, are some of your childhood favorites. Eloise by Kay Thompson Eloise's adventures at the Plaza Hotel made me dream of visiting New York City as a little girl. The movies starring Sofia Vassilieva are just as cute! Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak Maurice Sendak's imagination knows no bounds. The "wild things" he dreamed up sure look strange, but they come across as friendly rather than fearsome. Curious George by Margaret Rey and H.A. Rey Everyone loves a mischievous little monkey. Looking back, the Man in the Yellow Hat was just as precious. Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed by Eileen Christelow What's better than a mischievous little monkey? Five of them. Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! by Mo Willems Seriously, don't let him! This book had me cracking up at the library. The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister The Rainbow Fish books had the most gorgeous illustrations. Just look at those beautiful blues, greens, and purples. The Arthur Books by Marc Brown It's safe to say that Arthur is everyone's favorite anthropomorphic aardvark. Life wasn't always easy for this bespectacled creature, but with friends like Buster and Francine by his side, he could find his way out of any dilemma. A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon Whether or not you loved lima beans like Camilla as a child, this book's message of self-acceptance hit hard. It's no wonder that teachers often use it to teach kids about the importance of staying true to themselves. Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst Even on a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, this book is sure to bring a smile to any reader's face. There's a little bit of Alexander in all of us. Love You Forever by Robert Munsch It's rare to see a children's book that spans several decades — but Love You Forever has a broad scope, showing how a mother's love for her son endures as time passes. The final twist just might make you tear up. The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Eric Carle and Bill Martin Jr No, David! by David Shannon The Mitten by Jan Brett The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn The Berenstain Bears' Books by Stan & Jan Berenstain Stellaluna by Janell Cannon Miss Nelson is Missing! by Harry Allard Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson Corduroy by Don Freeman Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type by Doreen Cronin Llama Llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney Skippyjon Jones by Judy Schachner The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss Any book by Robert Munsch There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly by Simms Taback Are You My Mother? by P.
