/* For wrapper is a child of item */
.item:hover .wrapper {
color: #fff;
background-color: #000;
}
/* For wrapper is another div and item is another */
.item:hover ~ .wrapper {

}
A child element hover cannot effect a parent class or a class elsewhere in the code besides children and siblings. You'll have to use Javascript for that.
