    In honor of the Where the Wild Things Are movie, designer Christian Joy, the man behind Karen O's wardrobe, created five one-of-a-kind costumes based on Maurice Sendak's book. Now you can not only pretend you're Max, you can also sparkle.

    Joy designed the costumes for that haven of hipster merchandising, Urban Outfitters, and they are on display at the company's Space 15 Twenty store in Los Angeles, which is currently hosting a Where the Wild Things Are art show. The costumes are for sale, with proceeds going to the Los Angeles chapter of Dave Eggers' non-profit 826.
