In the Jungle, the Mighty Jungle, With Sacai
'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.

A Nostalgic ‘Addams Family' Prop Could Join Your Spooky, Ooky Collection
The Addams Family has come a long way since Charles Addams' paper cartoons debuted in 1938 and is currently in its Gen Z era incarnation, thanks to director Tim Burton. Still, the real ones know that before Wednesday on Netflix introduced us to Jenna Ortega as the acerbic teen and explored her mystery-laden life in dark academia, Christina Ricci made her a '90s icon. Propstore is rolling out a standout piece of nostalgia for The Addams Family as part of its upcoming Entertainment Memorabilia Auction: a silly and spooky wooden children's dinosaur toy that only an Addams or Addams fan could love. The morbidly adorable toy joins other highly coveted pop culture treasures such as Darth Vader's lightsaber from Star Wars and a whip from Indiana Jones. The green bug-eyed piece was featured in Barry Sonnenfeld's 1991 film The Addams Family. It can be seen in a scene where Wednesday (Ricci) was playing with it to keep herself entertained while we get Fester's fabricated backstory during a pivotal part of the film. Propstore's official description of the piece informs potential buyers of its rarity: 'This production-made toy, a plastic dinosaur on wheels with googly eyes, painted green with dark green spikes and a red mouth, shows signs of age and filming use, including pitting, chipping, striations, cracking, and wheel scratches. It measures approximately 18″ x 6.5″ x 6″ (45.75 cm x 16.75 cm x 15.25 cm)' and it's estimated to be getting a winning bid somewhere in the ballpark of $2,000–$4,000. However, with the character of Wednesday being all the rage again thanks to the Netflix show's return, it could go for much higher. The auction takes place in early September; find out more, including how to bid, here. Want more io9 news?

‘Wednesday' Season 2 Part 1 Ending Explained: Who Died? Who Was Unmasked as a Killer?
The first part of Wednesday season 2 ended on a worrisome note following multiple deaths and a large threat unleashed at Nevermore. Warning: This story contains spoilers about season 2 of . Wednesday, which premiered in November 2022, is based on the character originally introduced in The Addams Family cartoons. In Netflix's version, Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) attempts to solve a murder mystery at her new school. The first half of the second season premiered on Wednesday, August 6, and heightened the stakes with Wednesday not determined to keep Enid (Emma Myers) safe after a deadly premonition. In the final moments of part 1, Wednesday had been seemingly knocked out of a Willow Hill window by her ex-boyfriend and deadly Hyde a.k.a Tyler (Hunter Doohan). Wednesday's fate was left up in the air as Tyler escaped into the woods, alongside handfuls of other mental institution patients. There's also this season's mystery murderer who killed two people in two days but had yet to be unmasked. Netflix's 'Wednesday' Cast Weighs In on the Show's Biggest Ships: From Weyler to Wenclair Luckily, Wednesday fans have even more to look forward to with the hit series already renewed for season 3. Showrunner Alfred Gough and Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria released a statement in July confirming that there is also a Wednesday spinoff in the works. 'It's something we're definitely noodling. There are other characters we can look at," Gough teased before Bajaria added, 'There's a lot to explore in the Addams Family.' Keep scrolling to find out where each character stands at the end of Wednesday season 2 part 1 now that the episodes are streaming on Netflix: Wednesday Addams By the end of part 1, Wednesday was trying to help the outcasts escape when she ran into Tyler in Hyde form. The audience didn't see what happened before Wednesday was thrown out of the building, which left her fate unknown. Enid Sinclair After finally unlocking her wolf side, Enid returned to Evermore a new version of herself. With that came doubts about her relationship with Ajax (Georgie Farmer), whom she avoided for most of part 1 until he got the hint. Instead, Enid grew closer to newbie Bruno and questioned her friendship with Wednesday, not knowing her friend was trying to keep her safe from a possible looming death. Tyler Galpin Most of part 1 had Tyler locked up in Willow Hill where Wednesday and later Laurel (Christina Ricci) visited him. Despite attempts to decrease Tyler and Laurel's bond, his strength as a Hyde was greater than ever. By the end of part 1, Tyler was able to escape from his confinement and his first act of business was attacking his master. Tyler — in Hyde form — then came face to face with Wednesday and the next thing viewers saw was her being thrown out a window and her ex running for the woods. Wednesday's Biggest Controversies: From Questionable Working Conditions to Sexual Assault Allegations Bianca Barclay Laurel Gates During the first part of season 2 Ricci's character was brought to Willow Hill as a prisoner after she was previously kept in a separate facility to keep her far away from Tyler. The first reunion didn't go as planned when Tyler transformed into the Hyde and nearly killed Laurel. She tried to win his favor over again once the outcasts broke out of Willow Hill. But Laurel's attempt to help him didn't work in her favor and the Hyde ultimately chased her down and appeared to kill her — seemingly for good this time. Morticia Addams and Gomez Addams Pugsley Addams After playing a smaller role in season 1, Wednesday's brother was not attending Nevermore too. He had a tough time adjusting to the school — especially when it came to making friends. Pugsley finding and adopting a zombie didn't exactly help his situation and part 1 wasn't even over before the monster escaped and ate quite a few brains along the way.

The ‘Wednesday Season 2 Part 2' Trailer Welcomes Back a Familiar Face
Now that we're just over a week out from the first half of the season 2 release of Netflix's The Addams Family remake, Wednesday, starring Jenna Ortega, the streamer has finally released a new trailer for its second half. The trailer starts nightmarishly, at least for Wednesday, with her waking up in a hospital bed. Although she's not greeted by Momma Monster herself, Lady Gaga, who has yet to make an appearance on the show despite all the hype surrounding her mysterious involvement, Wednesday is met with a familiar face, fan-favorite character Principal Weems, played by Gwendoline Weems' return comes as a surprise, seeing as how last season saw the loathsome head of Nevermore Academy meet her end. Thinking Wednesday also bought the farm after her encounter with Tyler (Hunter Doohan) at the end of season 2's first half, Weems took immense pleasure in revealing that she'll be nagging at Wednesday inside her thoughts as a kind of gothic Jiminy Cricket tag-along as Wednesday gets back to her premonition quest to save her best friend, Enid (Emma Myers), from certain doom. Sprinkled throughout the rest of the trailer is narration by Wednesday, reminding both herself and the viewers that she still has other matters to attend to. Mainly, her family's seemingly endless well of dark secrets bubbling to the surface, and Tyler being on the loose with plans to put Wednesday and Enid in an early grave. While the news of the day is that viewers won't have to wait all that long to get the final half of the split in twain season, fans can take solace in knowing that there's more Wednesday mayhem in store for them in the future beyond the second slice. Namely, a third season is in the works as well as a spin-off. While details on both fronts have been kept under wraps, showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar have expressed interest in keeping the show going for at least seven seasons. Our money is on the plans for a spin-off likely taking the focus off of Ortega, should Hollywood come a-knocking for her to do some acting outside of Netflix's backyard. Regardless, Wednesday continues to be a booming success on the streamer. Shortly after Wednesday season two part one premiered on Netflix, Variety reported that the new season has already matched the first season's streaming performance. With Lady Gaga still to make her presence felt on the screen, the show is likely to continue performing well for the streamer and delight fans as it closes out its second season. Wednesday season two part two releases on September 3. Want more io9 news?
